I feel stupid taking roll call when I get in the van, especially when two of my children can't speak, but it works:

> The Roy family came to the city for a Sunday outing: a visit to Largo Central Park and its Bluegrass Strings and Crafty Things festival.

> But the Roys accidentally left someone behind: 5-year-old Jonathan Roy, who was found wandering Largo Central Park looking for them.

> Robert Roy told police he saw all 10 of his children heading toward their blue van when they left the park, Largo police Sgt. Ryan Dulski said.

> "The dad said he saw them all following him and thought they got in," Dulski said.

> But Roy, 53, and his family drove home to St. Petersburg without Jonathan.

> About 2:16 p.m., Jonathan was found wandering the park.

It's good to see the authorities acting sensibly:

> No charges were filed, but, as part of police protocol, a child neglect report was generated and the Department of Children and Families was notified, Dulski said.

> "The officers were relating it to that movie *Home Alone* ," Dulski said.
