An Israeli couple going on a European vacation remembered to take their duty-free purchases and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport, police said.
The couple and their five children were late for a charter flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost.
Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfield said a police officer found her wandering in the duty-free area at Ben-Gurion airport, Israel's bustling main international air portal.
The parents were unaware they had boarded the aircraft with only four children instead of five until they were informed by cabin staff after 40 minutes in the air.
The child accompanied by an airline staffer took the next flight to Paris, where she was safely reunited with her parents.
Rosenfeld said police would question the couple when they return from vacation, on suspicion of parental negligence.
Hopefully, the family returns with all the children in tow.
How do you forget a 3 year old child? You remember to purchase duty-free and collect it for the flight but can not keep track of your children. Didn't these parents make sure that all the children were in their seats and checked their tickets to confirm that they were in the correct seats? These parents must really need this vacation!
