Airports can be very harrowing, sometimes even for seasoned travelers. And with so many things to keep track of, you can easily forget your belongings. From IDs and gadgets to ornaments and bags full of money, each year, Indians forget an alarming amount of items at airports. And the newest addition to this list are babies! Recently, a real life Home Alone incident happened at the Delhi airport, when a couple forgot their kid in a trolley. However, unlike Kevin McCallister, this baby’s adventure ended quite early as the parents rushed back to the airport within an hour.
‘People forget items every day, but babies are latest addition’
Sharing the recent incident, a CISF officer tells us, “A couple requested us to allow them to go inside the airport since they had left their baby inside. We were quite surprised to hear this. After enquiring, we got to know that they offloaded the luggage but left their baby in the trolley. They realised it while they were in the cab. Since this could have been an excuse to enter the airport, our team searched the premises and found the baby.”
A similar incident happened last year as well. A couple forgot their four-year-old girl at the airport and it was only after the CISF contacted her parents that they came to pick her up. While forgetting babies at airports is a rarity, CISF officials say passengers forget valuables daily at airports. Hemendra Singh, PRO, CISF, says, “People forget items such as bags containing lakhs of rupees, gold and silver ornaments, laptops, cameras, phones, almost every day. If someone can forget their child at the airport, valuables are no big deal.”
