Parents should know where young children are and who they are with at all times. This woman is a grade A moron. Didn't realize he was missing and fell asleep? She might have been drinking, or zonked out on drugs. Unbelievable.
Bollox.
All of our kids at various times in preschool went and stayed with Grammy and Grampy or Aunt Pammy we never knew exactly where they were during that time. They also often stayed with their local "adopted" grandparents. Who took them various places. We did not know where they were. There is nothing wrong with trusting someone that you trust.
She could well have been anticipating someone was going to bring kiddo home with them. She fell asleep watching a movie while waiting for them. Woke up and found they had not arrived. Completely plausible. My wife would not have been capable of falling asleep until they got home but I can certainly see someone falling asleep while waiting, especially if she had been drinking. Heck, I fell asleep waiting for my daughter to come out of the airport after helping Grandpa get checked in and wheeled to his gate while I was sitting at the departures curbside line. I got a bit freaked out but then looked at the car sitting next to me and the driver was asleep. Sleep happens.
I do remember a time we flew in to visit my parents some years ago. They had to bring two cars to pick us up (bigish family). Grandma took the twins for ice cream on the way home (they were 4 or 5) and we all fell asleep before she arrived home. They had a great time with Grandma and we got some much needed sleep. Hardly the end of the world. Had she left them in the ice cream shop we certainly would have been miffed, but to call someone a moron with such little knowledge or any understanding of what parenting is like is well. . .
Sgt. Joe Monson told the New York Daily News that the boy and his mother went to the maze with a big group of people and somehow became separated. When they got home, the mother didn't realize her son was missing and ended up falling asleep while watching a movie, Monson said. She later went to bed, still without realizing that the boy wasn't home, according to police.
His mother called police at about 7:45 a.m. Tuesday after noticing that her son was missing.
How did she not notice that the house was quieter than usual and that she had a lot more free time than usual?
In a house with multiple families, it might not have been quieter, and in a situation where you are used to sister-wives helping to raise your kids, the free-time thing might not have been different.
The neglected kid has two biological parents; they are both responsible for him.
Of course. But in reality, it isn't just two parents and junior. It's multiple wives and multiple juniors and maybe one of the other mothers has been watching your 3-year-old for the past few days and you assumed she still had him. And dad has LOTS of kids to keep track of, apparently.

Drugs is my guess.
