You're spot on there
Unfortunately I see too many incidents of children being ignored by parents, usually because said "parents" are on their smartphones Facebooking or Instagramming to care that their child could walk into the middle of a road or wander off. You see it when you work in retail as well - parents too concerned with the sale rail to realise that little Jimmy has gotten his hand caught in the escalator, or that he's wandered off to another part of the store, so you have to put an announcement over the P.A system to the idiot parents to "please report to the womenswear tillpoint to retrieve your child".
