That is such a stupid think to do! I read one report that they had left it open in case of fire! How would the children have coped if there had been a fire?

The little girl (and the twins) could also have wandered off along the beach!

Apparantly Potugese police have sealed off the home of a british woman and her son and are conducting investigations there. Pray to god it is better than how it looks

Would you still have this opinion if it was a chav single mum of three that had left her kids while she was down the local pub getting drunk. I think not.

Given the extent of news in the UK, and some other countries I really find it quite strange that nobody has started a thread about that 3 year old girl's abduction from the holiday resort in Portugal. I see there are two separate threads on the Ozzy forum, one of them spanning 12 pages, but not a stitch here. Peculiar considering the number of young mothers who post on this forum. So I'm going to do it. The general feeling is that the parents are primarily to blame, and the perpetrator obviously, here's a post and an answer which pretty much sums up the general way the thread has been going. Just to start you off..

<<<If Denise Bulger hadn't let go of James hand. If Holly and Jessicas parents hadn't let them play out. The list could go on. Yes I know there is a higher degree of irresponsibility on the parents, as I've said I'm not condoning it, but it does appear that these people were determined and had targeted Maddy. Parents on holiday with friends, 2 toddlers to mind + a 3 year old, plenty of distractions, the sicko(s) must have been biding their time. Plus a person(s) had been seen tampering with the shutters on other apartments, so what's to say they wouldn't have taken her whilst the parents slept.

What I'm really trying to get across is that we can all tut and shake our heads, but shouldn't we rather be outraged at the lack of action from the police and be calling for the EU to regulate how abductions are handled.

Shouldn't we be outraged that we have these sicko's in our society who are allowed to live freely and be calling for our childrens right to safety.

I'm in no way saying that what has been said on here is wrong, just trying to change the focus.>>>

Answer
<<<I'm sorry but the basic fact that a child can be abducted in a split second is the biggest reason that you don't leave your three babies locked in an apartment whilst you swan out with your mates for a meal (allegedly every night of the holiday).

Lack of action by the police? says who? Please don't assume that what the papers say is fact, what the police do is their job, they don't feel the need to publicise every move.

I would be interested to know quite how any country is supposed to regulate abductions Also perhaps you could tell me how we are supposed to know who the "sickos" are so we can keep them locked up. I would assume they would have to do something sick first. Whatever your feelings on the case, the parents have stuffed up parenting big time and very sadly the child has gone. They will never forgive themselves and neither will the general public. It makes no difference how many "there but for the grace of god" stories there are, their lives have gone pair shaped and you can't absolve the parents from the blame.>>>
