The parents of a three-year-old New York state boy are breathing a sigh of relief after a surprise outing by the toddler. Police say Clarence Ricky Davis left his Springfield Gardens home around noon Wednesday, while his father was sleeping. Davis then took a city bus to the Jamaica Queens Multiplex about three miles away, and snuck into the movies to see "Robots." A security guard stopped the boy at the movie theater and called police, who were already searching for him. Police questioned the boy's parents, and while his father was initially charged with child endangerment, authorities have dropped the count.
Thank goodness for the security guard. Here's a question though...I'm sure that other people saw this kid as he walked three miles to a movie theater. Why didn't anyone else call the cops. Just askin'.
Because it was in NYC, where everyone ignores everyone else. Its the place people get murdered in earshot of others and nobody even calls the cops.
