I lost my 3 year old dauther once in department store. I had to ask for help a security service. They found her in 2 minutes but in the meantime I almost died.

Yes. When I dated with my boyfriend in hypermarket, I was on the first floor and looking for new books. He didn't know where I was, so he called me and asked me where I was. He have never been there. I told him to go up the escalator and I would come there.
