A north Tel Aviv mother who went to pick her five-year-old son up from kindergarten one afternoon, only to discover that he was not there, became alarmed and sent her husband and police scurrying to look for the boy, reports www.local.co.il. But when the frantic parents arrived back at their Ramat Aviv Gimmel house with police to discuss what to do next, they were amazed to discover the little boy there, happily playing with his toys and unaware of any fuss around his "disappearance."
According to the report, the confusion began after the mother left for work early that morning, expecting her husband to awaken their son and take him to kindergarten. Some time later, the father left for work, thinking his wife had taken their son to kindergarten and not realizing that the child was still asleep in his room. When the boy eventually woke up, he reportedly wondered why he was alone, but occupied himself by playing with his toys. The report said that after the boy was discovered at home, police detained the parents for questioning, but when it became clear that the incident had been a one-off occurrence caused by a misunderstanding, they released the parents without pressing any charges.
