Kids will get you like this every time...When the policeman found him I'm sure you were crying, laughing and embarrassed all at the same time...at least that's how I would have been...my son got lost in a Sam's Club one time...several minutes went by and we alerted security and I imagined every horrible scenario. Then he just came walking up with someone who worked there and I just fell to my knees crying with relief...If I was as upset as she was said to have been, I can't imagine not alerting the police immediately...better to be embarrassed than to let time elapse so that there is more possibility of someone getting lost to you forever...
That is exactly how I felt!! My older son did something similar (no need for 911 that time) and even now, knowing that they are okay, when I think about it my chest gets tight. But I don't regret calling 911 at all!
