Forget the baby in the hotel

It is one of the recurring nightmares during pregnancy and after motherhood: we leave the baby forgotten somewhere. But this nightmare becomes a reality for parents who left their 18-month-old baby forgotten in a hotel.

It is clear that when we travel, when we leave our usual routes, when our routine is broken and we are also loaded with luggage, we are much more likely to miss something. We forget our daughter's stuffed animal at the hotel (and luckily we got it back!).

Precisely Teddies are the most forgotten objects in hotels (no less than 75,000 in the last 12 months), according to the ranking of strangest objects forgotten in Travelodge Hotels in the United Kingdom during 2011.

Highlights the large number of latest generation computer and technology products forgotten in hotels, a wedding dress or the keys of a Ferrari. But if something has caught my attention especially, however inexplicable, it is the case of an 18 month old baby "forgotten" in one of the hotels.

Of course, these parents should not be surprised, from the other world, if later their children forget the urn of their ashes, which is another of the strangest objects forgotten in a hotel room.

But leaving aside the jokes, which I allow myself because nothing indicates that the end of this incredible story was bad, I wonder what must have happened to the parents to commit such a "carelessness", to call it somehow, and how they would come to realize that the baby was not with them.

Would it be fair when leaving the hotel, when taking the bus to the airport, when boarding the plane ...? Or would they notify them from the hotel when the cleaning service made such a "discovery" in the room?

We don't know anything about this story, if the parents were denounced (we don't really know if I was going with the father and / or the mother), if any legal action was taken, if they came back for the baby or notified them, if they had suspicions or an intentional abandonment was confirmed ...

Of course, seen these cases I am not surprised that devices are invented so as not to leave children forgotten, and if they are created it is because there is a certain demand ...

I cross my fingers so that something similar never happens to me, now it happens to me the other way around, that I go out without girls and I am missing something, and although I admit to having lost in the trips some stuffed animal, some garment and some neverita with the food of the girl , we have always returned the complete family pack.

You know, as weird as it sounds forget the baby in the hotel, if this has happened in a country only in the last year and in a single hotel chain, how many similar cases there will be of which we have not heard ... Do not forget to check all the "luggage" at the end of the holiday!
