They left for the church a little after 7:30 AM, yet Danny doesn't show up at Rikki's door until after dark. A bike blessing service wouldn't take that long and I would think being gone all day would've raised a red flag somehow.
I thought of that too as i was watching the ep...It bothered me that a parent could let their child be gone for that long without bothering to call or find out where they were... But thinking back to the interactions between Danny, Rikki, and Rueben, it seemed to be that they had been close for a while, and it could have been that Danny and Rueben were often out hanging out and were pretty good buddies. Letting a person who lived in her building in New York city take her son out at 7:30am and not have any qualms about it led me to believe that Rikki did in fact trust him completely with her child, and that maybe she just assumed that her boy was safe with her neighbor, and perhaps Danny was spending the day with him like he had before.
That's just my opinion....but i do think that if Rikki did believe this was the case, she would have called to double check with Danny, or believed that he would call and let her know what they were up too. Then again, Danny never has had children or been a parent, and from the evidence seems to have been given free reign as a youngster, or at least had absent parents, so might not have known to call Rikki immeadiatly if the plans had changed to make sure she knew where her child was...unfortunately, his actions in regards to caring for a child are partway what caused the tragic event =[
