Great Pictures, thanks for sharing
The funny thing about fawns is how easy they are to domesticate until they hit a certain age, then they just wonder off. I wouldn't worry about it in the wild, it was born with more than enough survival skill to get by.
The hard part is when children get attached to one and it leaves. They keep thinking it will come back and they rarely do.
Bucks are different, and will consider that home their territory and during the rut will come back. Many a human has been injured and killed by a pet deer coming back during the rut and wanting to prove his dominence.
