This happened on Friday. In the biggest mall in the tri-county area, at my job.
Crazy busy in that whole mall that day, and a little (~4 yo) girl goes past the store manager. He asks who she's looking for, and says her mom, so he calls security. After they get there, they get the whole story out of the little girl. Her mom had left her, and her ~7 yo brother, in the arcade while she went shopping with her (the mom's) sister.
They try to page the mom, she doesn't respond, the older brother ends up giving the city cop who was called in because it was a lost child his mom's cell phone, which she'd given them, to call his aunt.
As soon as the mom comes back, she starts in on the older brother, and the cop basically dresses her down right then and there.
Boo bad parent, but yay cop!
