These Are Your Parents On Drugs
After a cousin's birthday party, two-year-old Almedia "Mimi" James was left behind at a Fort Worth Chuck E. Cheese.
For two days.
No one reported her missing. The parents say they thought she was staying at the house of one of her two aunts. The two aunts, who were both at the party, each say that they thought the other had brought Mimi home with her.
Maybe Mimi is the world's biggest brat (though she certainly looks sweet in the pic). Maybe the grownups involved thought she'd like having the run of Chuck E. Cheese for the weekend.
Even so, leaving her there for two days seems rather extreme.
Mimi was found shoeless and alone Saturday at the restaurant, and taken into CPS care. She could tell the cops only that her name was Mimi. After no one reported her missing, police distribute her picture to the media on Monday, hoping that someone would recognize her. Neighbors of Mimi's parents told them that their daughter was on TV.
Some people have all the luck. Whenever I leave my daughter behind somewhere, within minutes she invariably tracks me down.
