if the child didn't even know the phone number..or her parents name..i am not suprised the dog had no tags. There was a 3 yr old found out last night..was grabbed and then tossed out the van (and of course they ran over the child's arm) the child is going to be ok..but man oh man the kids i have taken home..it just does make me shiver. At the apartment complex i foudn 2 yr old KOKO out by the pool (the gate had been left open) at 1 am..at my burned house i found a toddler in my front yard and walked up and down the street for about 15 minutes before a panicky dad ran out. Aaron escaped one time at the apartments.they went around a central courtyard that had sidewalks that went in a square. He was riding his hotwheel buck naked (his favorite style at that time) at 6 am in the morning. He was returned by a neighbor when i discovered he had chicken poxs. It is not uncommon for one to escape ONCE, but to not know at 5 the crucial info is bad. Hyia knows my phone number as well as mom's..her address, my mother's full name and mine. That is just common sense that you start teaching that as soon as they can talk. She knows 911 too and when it is appropriate to use it. I had a shoe tag for Aaron because he was a late talker and a monster for thinking he could do things he wasn't old enough to even try. you never took your eyes off that boy for one second..when he was 2 he got up before i did (4:30 am to be exact) snuck out of his room, got the lb jar of vasoline out of the bathroom..coated his whole body in it..the front of the fishtank, the tv, and the low windows and then poured a box of birdseed on his head. That is when i had to put a hook and eye on his door. I know you are not suppose to but i didn't know what else to do. I left my husband shortly after this and just slept in the same room as he did until he was a bit older and more trust worthy. He would start following a robin and nothing else would enter his focus..he would wander right out of the yard without realizing it.
