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.
