ZAGREB, Croatia - Parents travelling in Croatia on Friday realized after driving 200 kilometers (125 miles) that they had left their 11-year-old daughter at a highway rest area, police said.
An employee at the Rascane rest area in southern Croatia informed police that a woman had called saying her child, a foreign citizen, was missing, according to a police statement that did not specify her nationality.
Officers found the girl, who was unharmed but scared and crying, at the rest area where the frightened parents arrived a few hours later.
The mother said they had been travelling in a group with several cars, and had assumed her daughter was in one of them.
No charges were filed, the statement said.
