    I remember reading something many years ago about a way for parents and their children to be reunited when separated in a crowd.

    When the kid asks for help the adult would hoist the kid on their shoulders and start singing a song or something to that effect. Other adults would join in to help in the singing which would help put a spotlight on what’s going on and would continue this till the kid and parent would be reunited.

    If I remember correctly it was somewhere in the Islamic world that this was practiced. I remember thinking that this was a great way to get family’s back together.

      Northern Europe, Finland or Sweden I believe, but yeah that’s the general thing they do for lost children.

        That’s good to know that its pretty widespread and not just a local practice in one area.

        You Europeans have got a lot of shit figured out! One more thing i have to add to the European + column.
