    RE: It certainly does ring a bell. I did that for a summer job at

    I don't know, their behaviour seems bizarre if its true. Going back and checking several times. Must have been a relaxing meal then. If they were so concerned they wouldn't have gone out.

    That was the case

    It said that there was a babysitting service at the hotel but they chose not to use it.

    If they didn't have anything to do with it then they'll have beaten themselves up every day over the decision to leave her.
    For their sake I hope it was a joint decision rather than one saying they shouldn't leave them and the other saying "It'll be alright, we'll check on her" - otherwise that marriage won't last once all this is over.

    If it had been some single mum from a council estate that

    had left 3 kids alone thenyou can bet she would have been pilloried by the press and they would be looking at putting the other kids in care by now.</p>

    I said no/little sympathy..

    Obviously theres a degree of sympathy as its a horrible thing to happen, but I know for a fact that when I have kids, I wouldn't leave 3 children under the age of 5 on their own in a hotel room. I'd consider that a fairly moronic thing to do.

    The same thoughts have gone through my mind, but you have to admit, it's a pretty fuc*ed up world we live in to have got to the stage where we are blaming the parents directly for something like this happening. This kind of thing should not be expected, but obviously it is.

    Sadly we are part of a blame culture now and we aren't looking for solutions, we're just looking for who to blame.

    I blame Ritchie.

    No doubt you'll be the perfect parent

    </p>

    but from a mere mortal, who has made mistakes, but still considers himself a good parent ... lets hope not everyone judges people as harshly as you.</p>

    Another 'text book' parent (clown) </p>

    obviously, when you have kids you will NEVER let them out of your sight. </p>

    Have you told the police about your suspicions about Ritchie?

    Mind, they're probably fed up about hearing he did it from Coachman and Spartacus. What with the letters from S.M. about how Davey would have found her by now too.

    Exactly what I said to the wife the other day, can you imagine if one had had said to the other "What could possibly happen to them?". I have a 10 week old and it would be more of a fear of fire or burglary why I wouldn't leave her on her own. Doubt I would relax anyway.

    Not perfect? You don't have to be perfect to realise that

    leaving 3 kids under 4 home alone in an unlocked apartment is totally wrong.

    RE: I have no/very little sympathy for the parents..

    I'm sure you won't, and you know you won't.</p>

    But you've never had kids and had to put up with the pressures that they bring, especially when they outnumber the parents.</p>

    You might not leave them unattended, butI guarantee you will do SOMETHING potentially as serious, through naivety, forgetfulness or something. 99% chance nothing serious will come of it, and you'll think yourself really lucky.</p>

    Why?

    It's tragic the poor little lass is missing, but they are culpable in this matter. If they had been working class scum they (the parents) would have been villified by the media.

    RE: why? nt

    Read what it says again.</p>

    How could you say something like that, especially as you accept it has no basis in fact?</p>

    We all do foolish things - we're human. Most of the time we survive them. But to suggest, well whatever that is suggesting..... words fail me.</p>

    Oh and another thing...

    our wonderful press pilloring the Portugese police for not acting quickly enough. Apparently posters were up within an hour and door to door enquiries within three.

    And apparently far better detectives than the police as well, mind.
