Notice To Parents: Caesarland Is Not An Adoption Agency

March 16, 2010 at 9:07 am by  

WARREN, Mich. – A 3-year-old boy was celebrating his birthday on Saturday at a Warren Caeserland with his parents and approximately 20 family members. But at around 9 pm that evening, employees at the restaurant noticed that the boy was alone with no adults and called police. Police arrived and were not able to find the boy’s parents or any relatives and took him into protective custody. On Monday…36 HOURS LATER…the mother of the boy called the restaurant asking about her son, the father showed up at the store an hour later. Turns out the 33-year-old mother and the 41-year-old father, who do not live together, each thought the boy was with the other – or possibly with a grandmother in Detroit. Now the parents are facing possible child abandonment and child abuse charges.

Can you imagine that? Being 3-years-old and forgotten about at your own goddamn party? As a parent, and a friend to many parents, I have been to my fair share of birthday parties. Home parties, Chuck E. Cheese, McDonald’s, theme parks, movie theater, almost anywhere a kid can have a birthday party – I’ve been to at least one of them. Never, in all of those instances, did the adults not look out for the kids. So it just amazes me that this boy had at least 20 friends and family there, and NONE of them noticed the parents were not around? There is just so much infuriatingly wrong with this. So much dumbassery.

I would love to hear the excuses. I would also love to have some clarification on some of the reports that say that the parents realized neither of them had the boy on Sunday – but waited until Monday to start calling. I am assuming that when they realized neither had the boy, that is when they thought the grandmother had him. Who knows. But this is just another example of their need to be a license for some people to have kids. Anyway, happy birthday kid…good luck making it to your next one.

    He is an adorable little boy. How could they forget him? SEnd him to Texas to me. I will take him.

  • HotReadingMama

    I like how they called the store 36 hours later. Wonder how that convo went?

    On the rare occasions my children aren't with me, other than school hours, I actually find myself going to their room at regular intervals to check on them before saying to myself “Oh, that's right they are at so & so” How the fuck does this happen?

    I guess on the bright side….at least they gave the kid a party. o.O

    It could have been a stand-off over who was footing the bill for this birthday party. Poor kid. I hope he wished for new parents.

    Do you ever feel like you are looking at people like they are a pack of dogs? You watch the things that they do, and their actions are programmed by their environment. They cannot think for themselves, and they do some of the stupidest shit. I mean, really, animals take better care of their own…

    OMFG!!!! I once lost my wallet and didn't wait THAT long to go look for it!!! I guess these exes NEVER speak to each other. What idiots. Surely, as the guests left, they noticed if there was no parent staying. What a BUNCH OF ASSHOLES! It's everybody's fault!

    “animals take better care of their own…”

    Repeated for truth!

    According to the local news this morning, the parents don't live together, but they both live in the same building. Each thought that the other had taken the boy home at the end of the party.

    Caesarland is a lower-end version of Chuck E. Cheese that's part of the Little Caesar's company. As awful as I find Chuck E. Cheese (or Chuckie Jesus as my nieces and nephew call it), I can't imagine spending any time at Caesarland without undergoing a complete lobotomy or consuming a pitcher of margaritas first.

    36 HOURS?!? Christ in a catsuit, what in the fuck is WRONG with these people?!

  • defenestratethis

    He is extremely cute. Jeeze…I accidentally forgot my dog once at the local 7-11. I had tied him to a post out front when I went into the store…then blithely walked back home without him. I realized what id done after a couple hours and RAN frantically back to the store, completely freaked. But he was ok. But a little boy 3 years old…? Maybe they were all drinkin a LOT of beer that night. Thats nuts. Plus, wouldnt the parents decide ahead of time who gets Jr after the party, and then double check with each other towards the end of the it?

  • maureen

    What the heck don't these people communicate. Hubby and I still live together but when I go to work I usually call home or txt to make sure all is well with the babies. He does the same. I would think if you think your child is with the other parent in a different home you'd call periodically and check on him. At least at that age.

    I once forgot to pick my daughter up from the bus stop, thinking it was the day I had to pick her up from school..but danggggg two days? its kind of ironic because i realized it just as i was passing by the caesarland approaching the 696 exchange…whoa

    An arrest warrant has been issued for the parents of toddler who was left at a Warren children's restaurant for days after his third birthday party.

    After completing an investigation into the March 13 party at Caesarland Restaurant, the Macomb County Prosecutors said they have decided to charge the boy's parents with second-degree child abuse, which is a felony that carries a four-year sentence.

    Warren police said they have made arrangements with the boy's parents, Talisha Darlene Johns, 33, and Dion Musekela Johnson, 41, both of Warren to turn themselves in on Monday.

    Thirty-seventh District Court Judge Matthew Sabaugh will immediately arraign the Johnsons on the charges.

    Holy shit… really how forget about your kid? and even if you thought your child was with the other person umm I might be going out on a limb here but wouldn't you call to make sure..why the fuck would you wait 36 hours to find out about your child. Hello..can we say stupid asses!

  • Siobhan

    OK, I understand that all parents need some “me/alone” time, as all of us do, and I am not a parent.
    That being said, I honestly can't go 36 hours without talking to my pets (yes, we talk to them on speaker phone – o.O), but this is a 3yr old boy, damn it.
    He'd naturally be missing his usual/custodial parent.
    Pick up the fucking phone and call to check up on your young spawn, you self-centered and brainless fucks!

  • karlawillis

    I live in the area where this happened and I want to adopt this little boy so badly. Not because he is adorable but because he needs to see what a true family and love are.

    We just lost a baby and people in the world are just forgetting, killing and throwing theirs away!!!
