Parents Realize Next Day They Left Son At Chuck E. Cheese
POSTED 700 am CDT June 6, 2006
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A 6-year-old Florida boy who was accidentally left behind by his family after they celebrated his birthday at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant will temporarily remain in state custody.
A judge said the state Department of Children and Families will likely determine Tuesday whether Michael Emanuel can live temporarily with a relative.
Emanuel's family said they accidentally left him Saturday night and didn't notice he was missing until the next day. Each relative thought the child was with another family member.
Employees at the Boca Raton restaurant called police and the child was taken into state custody.
An attorney for the boy's mother told the judge there were 12 youngsters at the party and as they all piled into cars to leave, the boy was simply overlooked.

1.) this is completely the parents' fault
2.) Chuck E Cheese has a policy where you are stamped with a unique number that is cross referenced to a list this is to A.) Prevent your kid from being abducted and B.) Prevent kids from being left behind
Way to go family AND chuck e cheese!
