Here's a story that is hitting the strange stories today where a family got on thier flight without their three year old daughter. From the BBC news:-Staff at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel have found a three-year-old girl alone in a duty-free shop after her parents accidentally took a plane without her.In their defence, they had 5 kids which must have kept them busy. On the otherhand, perhaps this kid was the red headed stepchild. What a complex this kid will have when she grows up : Talk about neglected !
The parents boarded the flight to Paris with four of their five children.
The parents did not realise their mistake until the captain of the plane informed them after take-off, according to police.
The girl was put on the next flight to Paris. The parents will be questioned when they return to Israel.
"It is usual that travellers in a rush forget their luggage but not a child. This never happens," AFP news agency quoted a police official by as saying.
Forgetting the relative is not a one off where in 2005, a Macedonian man drove away from an Italian service station without his wife. He only noticed she wasn't in the car when police phoned him six hours later.
This also happened in France where a motorcyclist also left his wife at a service station after coming back from a ride into Germany.
The cops advised "You'll need more than a bunch of roses".
