Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
Rather than place blame lets just pray the lass is ok, the whole family must be in pieces

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
I couldn't begin to know how the parents must feel. I only hope the child is found OK. But in this sad, twisted, fu*ked up world, with so much sub-human crap waiting in the sidelines to steal kids, I fear the worst. I hope I`m wrong.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
Why when we read or hear anything in the news there is a rush to apportion blame?It's as if we become super human with no faults of our own and this in turn seems to imbue us with the right to be judge,jury and executioner.

would you leave a 3 year old out of sight while you go out for dinner?? no 3 year old I know stays asleep all night imagine the distress if she woke after a bad dream and needed mummy or daddy??? no way no how should a 3 year old be left unattended under any circumstances.
Im sorry but im taking a hard line on this . It would not have happened if the parents were there that is beyond dispute

Just watched it on the news the resturant was round the corner the reporter says the parents could see and I quote "the corner" of the block and to make matters worse there was 2 younger children I think this is crazy I also quote the reporter " the parents took it in turns every half an hour to check on the them" well it does not take long does it for something this bad to happen maybe one of them should have not gone out for a meal eh and thought properly about the children. All compassion apart no one here can admit to me the parents had common sense . There are loads of things that can happen fire serious illness 30 minutes as proven here could mean the difference between life and death . I hope there is no parent on this forum practices this kind of thing I doubt anyone will come forward and say yes we do but if there are I hope they no longer do

Would you have left a 3 infants/toddler then? the news is clear they were left unmonitored for half hour stretches that is wrong wrong wrong
I am judging them as irresponsible negligent and just plain stupid
Whats disgraceful is that the parents left 3 children no older than 3 years alone while they went out for a meal
There is no sugar coating this the child could be dead (God I hope not of course) because the parents were not there to look after her no ifs no buts

i can understand your rage zinglebarb but u were not there neither was i. i'm sorry but i think it would serve the purpose more along with the media if u directed your rage towards the alledged abducter and while we are on the subject of childrens welfare do u drive, tolerate the iraq war? lol i could go on.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday

This guy makes it sound like a cat they're talking about!
I agree with others that they should never have been left alone. I work in a hotel and i see people on an evening coming down to the restaurant and have left their kids in the room alone, and that's in the same building and it really really winds me up.
I guess there's no point blaming the parents they've been punished enough and learnt the hard way.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
The "checking every half hour" statement seems to be changing.
BBC
"Madeleine, who turns four next Friday, was last seen by her father at about 2100 local time. When Mrs McCann went to check on her about an hour later, she found the bedroom's outside shutter and window had been opened and her daughter missing."
Whilst I can't begin to imagine the anguish the parents and family are going through (and I am a parent), and I hope to God that the little girl is found safe and sound, I do believe the parents were negligent in leaving three children under four years old unattended.
