About 18 months ago a 15 yo girl was left behind in a restaurant where I worked. I noticed her sitting alone about 15 minutes after the table had paid the bill. i asked her if everything was ok to which she replied, calm as you like, "my parents have left me behind".
Apparently they had come in separate cars (dad straight from work) and when leaving, dad and daughter go to the toilet. Mum and other daughter leave thinking other daughter will leave with dad. Dad exits toilet and thinks daughter has left with mum.
So I offered her the use of the phone which she declined saying, "It's ok they'll come and get me when they get home and realise I'm still here, it happened before" !
