Someone will have to explain to me how this happens

Another family caught boarding a flight and taking off having left a small child behind at the airport, this one an Israeli family going on vacation to France:
The couple and their five children were late for a charter flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a policeman found her wandering in the duty-free area at Ben-Gurion airport, Israel’s bustling main international air portal. He said the officer alerted airline staff, but the flight had already taken off…
Rosenfeld said the parents were unaware they had boarded the aircraft with only four children instead of five until they were informed by cabin staff after 40 minutes in the air.
A similar incident happened a few months ago with a Filipino family that was emigrating to Canada. I’m curious as to why the Associated Press felt the need to mention in the headline the nationality of the family involved in the most recent incident but not the former.
Media bias questions aside, as a parent I just have to wonder, how does this happen? I’ve seen Home Alone 2, but I just don’t get it. I suppose people with multiple kids would tell me not to judge when I just have one, but come on. You go out with a toddler somewhere, you frequently check to see where they are and who has them. End of story.
