Hi Rebel,
Whilst watching a documentary on penguins, what struck me was the anxiety exhibited by parents and chicks when they were lost to each other.
We lost our eldest daughter when she was 3 in a furniture store. Store was closed down. Staff and public searched frantically for nearly 45mins. I was traumatised and sinking into unconsciousness the longer this went on. Police were called because a little 5yr old girl missing in Edinburgh had just been found murdered that weekend. Daughter was found in a lounge setting sitting comfortably, swinging her legs, humming the tune to her favourite tv programme, staring at a blank tv screen. Waaaah!
