Wandering off is what children do. Their attention span is very limited and they tend to get bored or distracted very easily. And while parents keep a strict eye on their offspring, a child manages to find a way to get away. Sure it's a safety hazard for kids, and parents should be vigilant in their attention to the child, but the incident you quote happens to almost every parent. We forget that parents too learn from their mistakes. They understand their child better by every michief he/she gets into and learn to anticipate the actions of their kid through it. I agree that parents should not walk in front of their kids leaving them behind but instead should either make sure the child is walking ahead of them or besides them.
