the parents are not amazing, they left their children alone.

 

its all very well for them to point the finger at the police saying they didn't investigate properly - well they didn't parent properly.

 

there would have been nothing to investigate if they had been decent parents and not left their children alone.

 

i'm not convinced they had anything to do with the disappearance, but then i'm not convinced they didn't either.


I have left my children alone when sleeping... not gone far... we were camping and they were in the tent and I was at the fire... I checked on them every half hour or so... 

 

I have also stayed at hotels where I have left the kids alseep in the room to go to the office. 

 

People on holiday should be able to leave children blissfully sleeping in a locked room if they have not gone far.... unfortunalty you can't do that anymore. 

 

I do not think that they were bad parents for doing that. I think the bad thing was that the child was taken. 

 

But I totally get where you are coming from.. not everyone would think that leaving them alone is ok.
