Family forget five-year-old daughter at airport

A family returning from a holiday forgot their five-year-old daughter at the airport.

In scenes reminiscent of the Home Alone movie franchise,  the young girl was left stranded at Stuttgart Airport, one of Germany’s busiest airports, located in the nation’s southwest on Monday, reports Yahoo News.

According to Stuttgart police, several people witnessed the five-year-old girl walking aimlessly around all by herself in the airport’s arrival hall.

Despite multiple announcements via the airport’s intercom system, no parents arrived at the information desk to pick up their lost daughter.

After officers brought the unfortunate child to the police station, they received a phone call from her worried mother.

She explained that the family had come back from their holiday abroad and resumed their journey home in two different cars.

According to the police, both parents assumed that the other had taken the daughter in the other car.

“The five-year-old was eventually safely picked up by her father,” a police spokesperson said.
