If the place wasn't crawling with blue uniforms, they clearly hadn't called the cops. Missing children are not taken lightly by law enforcement.

Ahh my bad - I apologize. (When you assume, you make an ... nevermind)

I guess that's a good lesson for all of us. The next time we get detained at D&B, find out if they've called police!

Yes, it's a large enough place to lose a kid. It is not so large that it should take (as OP said) a half hour to fully search the place to either find the child or determine he is no longer on the premises.

Some states explicitly allow property owners to conduct "investigative detentions" without recourse to determine if an unlawful act has taken place on their property

The gaming industry is the worst offender when it comes to abusing those laws.

I don't know about that -- my fiance's son is 26 (equivalent to 7 in reality -- he's mentally handicapped) and we've spent a lot longer than that looking for him in a smaller place. And he's fully grown!
