If it was a recurring event, it would be in garbage. One, as I've explained, I don't want something in my home that the parents had no idea where its been. The lovey can be in a public restroom for all they know. Two, if it has been hours as OP stated it's not really the child. I have watched many children, including mine and relatives, no child waits hours for something to be gone and freaks out. The parents are not only enabling negative behavior, they are actively encouraging it.
