So today was just like any other day with basketball practices and whatnot. Around 9:30pm, a woman was walking back and forth by the bathrooms of the gyms. Eventually, she asked me to check the boy’s bathroom to look for her son. When I did not see him in there, she looked in the gym and still did not see him. We then went to the multi-purpose room and when he was not there, she started to panic. She grabbed her daughter and asked where the boy went and last she had seen he was in the bathroom. When I looked again and did not see him, I radioed for a “Code Adam” which is the code call for a missing child. I gave the descriptions of the child over the radio and waited to see if he was in another part of the building. The mom started to become hysterical, running around the building. About five minutes after I called the code, a member of the staff spotted him in the corner of the gym. While I am happy that the boy was found this is just an example of parents leaving their kids in the Gemini. She brought her kids in, essentially said “go play,” went upstairs to workout and only came down to get them. This may not have happened if she had stayed and played with them in the gym.
