Madeleine McCann Thread

Risks come in different packages, for example going at 200mph in your car is a bigger risk than cutting a loaf of bread.

What's your point?

My point is that leaving your kids alone in a room in Portugal is a big risk, lots of people get abducted in Portugal every day.

I see that we will have to agree to differ on this topic and as I have already said earlier, I'm not condoning their actions but that I can understand why they did what they did.

I do sympathise with the parents as they could have just left Madeline at home with a baby-sitter but they wanted a family holiday. I agree, it was a risk and they are at fault but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that Madeline is found and when/if she is found, the parents learn from their mistakes.

Fair enough although maybe one day you will. Experience teaches us many things, understanding is one of them.

I accept this, but not to the extent of leaving a child of that age in a hotel room by itself.

They obviously didn't, if they did they would have spent the time together.

Or at least taken their children to the meal.

They obviously didn't, if they did they would have spent the time together. Why not give the children a kids meal at a family restaurant?

How do we know what they did? Maybe that had taken her for meals before but she was sleeping and they saw this as an opportunity to have a meal on their own?

We were not privy to their conversation on how they came to that decision. Maybe they were lulled into a false sense of security due to the nature of the complex they were staying at or just fact of being on holiday made them take a risk they normally wouldn't have.

Equally, they may just be very irresponsible people who viewed the children as a chain and were glad to get away from them for a few hours. Like I said we don't know and probably never will.

So if your child is sleeping, that means they are safe?
