Parents lose sight of their child at the airport

Watching our kids when we are out in public places can become really stressful. 

It is their natural instinct to run around, play, explore, and investigate what is going on around them. 

But when we lose sight of them, the stress and anxiety a parent feels is not something we wish on anyone.

A clip on the internet shows how quickly something can happen when you are not watching your child 100%. 

In the video, which was taken at the airport, we see a child climb up and get onto the baggage carousel at the check-in counter. 

Very quickly the child starts moving on the carousel and is transported with the baggage. Although it may look like fun for the kid, it isn't. 

Baggage goes through the carousel and is dumped into a holding area and it could be potentially extremely dangerous for the little boy.

Thankfully, the staff were able to spot him and get to him in time because we don't want to think about what could've happened. 

Moral of the story: Watch your kid attentively. A good way of doing it is to tag team it, one parent handles check-in and one parent keeps both eyes on the kid or kids.
