That is terrible. I bet his parents are in a panic too! I can't even imagine losing/leaving my children behind.

Why don't the police "ping" the mom's cell phone? That will give them a location. Used in Westchester County by police to find a fugitive...

A shame in all the chaios of evacuating things like this happen. Very sad. I'm sure his parents are going nutto. Even if they did find moms location, how do you suppose they get to her? Isn't traffic at a stand still? Hopefully family is trying to get back to him, but with all the heavy congestion it may take them hours to return to the store. :(

For one boy they could probably just move to saftey elsewhere? I dont know? Maybe. Helicopter ride for one boy seems a little over the top, but maybe. If it where my boy I would be thankful for them to helicopter him to me. I doubt that will happen though.

At the rate traffic is going, she is probably just a mile away.
