Bullet A 23-month toddler was left behind at the airport gate when his parents arrived in Canada from the Philippines. The boy's parents both thought he was with the other parent or grandparents – and because they weren't seated together on board, nobodyrealised the child was missing. Airport staff found the child wandering around near the departure gate and contacted the parents on board the plane. The little boy's dad then had to travel back 1200 miles to pick up his missing son. It would seem that the family had been running for the flight when they were split up.
