In a scene reminescent of the first installment of Macaulay Culkin film "Home Alone", a Filipino family leaves behind the youngest brood in haste to catch a flight at a Canadian airport.
A family boarded a flight on Monday in westernmost Canada, and forgot their tot at the Vancouver international airport, media said Tuesday.
The 23-month-old boy's family had just arrived in Canada from the Philippines, but they were forced to repack their overweight bags before catching a connecting flight to Winnipeg, causing them to run late.
In their sprint to the gate, the family became separated.

I find this really strange... How could you leave your child behind? It's not like your purse or your bag, you would think you would notice your own child missing. I'm not trying to judge, because airports can get crazy but what an odd story. Did the kid get his own hotel room and then fight off two intruders come to kidnap him with hilarious pranks and genius inventions?

It's really strange to me too... There were four adults with the child and each one thought someone else had the kid... From my understanding though they were all together so i'm not sure how that happens. As much as I hate those child leash things maybe they have a purpose afterall....
