Little ones get left behind by the adults (and I use the term loosely here) all the time. Sometimes they're collected by the good guys first,
as in this happy case.

3-year-old found on street; mother may be charged

A 3-year-old boy found wandering alone in Pioneer Square early Sunday while police say his mother was in a nearby nightclub will remain in foster care at least until Wednesday, according to a spokeswoman for Child Protective Services.
The boy was cold and not wearing shoes when a man saw him wandering alone through the downtown Seattle neighborhood, said police spokeswoman Reneé Witt. His mother, an Issaquah woman, had left him in an unlocked station wagon while she went into a nightclub, Witt said.
"He got out of the car and maybe got tired of sitting in there, opened the door and crawled out," she said.
