Cute picture. I bet the story is made up though and it's the parent taking the picture
I think I remember this being posted 14 years ago. There were other photos of the kid with the cosplayers, I think the dad took them so the kid definitely wasn't lost, just loved the flash
Yep, look at that crowd going wild over this display. Hmmmm
I’m glad Batman didn’t find him, he would’ve recruited him as a new Robin.
And that significantly increases your chance of no parents.
Batman used orphan rage.
It's super effective!

you ever notice that Batman's relationship with Robins is similar to Joker's relationship with Harleys.
You thought you were the first? You won't even be the last.
You mean how only one is really trying to turn the relationship sexual? Yeah.
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.
There's a touching video that I love of an entire crowd doing just that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hfKZovpEAtY
That's awesome! Maybe I was wrong about the culture that practices this? Would love to know how widespread this idea is.
Just seems like the right way to go about it. I like how the kids safety and reunification is being aided by the crowd.
The video is from Italy, not sure if practiced elsewhere.
Thank you for sharing. That was rather wholesome.

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.
Oh I'm not European, just a well travelled American.
......I'm lost too.
"Give me a hug Wonder Woman please I'm lost!" while rubbing his hands: All according to plan huehuehue..
~~Catholic priests take notes.~~
It's a classical predatory move that kids need to be aware of. The representation of authority.
Like, obviously I'm glad this worked out, but anyone could have been dressed as an action hero, and led the kid away
Seems like a dangerous thing
They're at a convention dressed in costume. They're safe. It's not like he approached a priest or a cop.
He "knows" them. Nah, kid just has w rizz and needed an opening with WW.
