Toddler sparks full-scale search by wandering off

First rule of parenting: Ya gotta keep your eye on the little fuckers every second.

A three-year-old sparked a full-scale police search in England today when he wandered off from his mother in a busy market and hopped on a bus.

Lee Loram became separated from her in the town centre of Blackburn and somehow managed to board a service from the town to Bolton.

The toddler stayed on the Lancashire United route 225 service – an hour’s journey each way – as it winded its way through Darwen, Egerton and Astley Bridge to its final destination.

He remained on the bus at Bolton for the return journey and got off at Blackburn bus station where he was quickly spotted by police officers who returned him to his family safe and well.
