When at the mall or any store, and this HAS happened to me, while looking for clothes on a rack a child will slip under the clothes or rack and explore. It takes no time at all! The sudden realization that your child is missing, even though they are merely out of sight a mere foot or two away, is enough to take years off your life and even terminate the outing.

I don't know if you have children, but until you do you have no idea how quickly this can happen. I am talking about less than 5 seconds here.

It has nothing to do with unruliness or bad parenting. It has to do with some parents concern with the safety of their children. As I stated earlier, I never went this route. I guess I take chances.
