Why? What punishment count be given thats worse than losing their child. You think charging them would help anyone?????

If she is still alive and I pray she is... I don't think anyone would be that stupid to take the little one out in public... its like oh she's in the papers everyday, lets take her to the bank for a trip out... I think not:

Yes I do. I think it would make other people be more careful.

Its like when the HSE fine you for chopping off a leg in an accident at work.

I;m not saying what they did was right, all i'm saying is, in my mind, they are suffering the worst possible punishment imaginable

I agree entirely,nothing could possibly be worse than what they have to live with everyday of their lives.

No they aren't but due to their neglect the poor child may have!

In the original thread I mentioned and stand by the fact, (despite the bleeding hearts that said I was wrong), with responsible parents this wouldn't have happened and that had the parents not been 'middle class', they would have suffered the full weight of the law, yes a slap on the wrist, but they were protected by the very newspapers that would have crucified parents from a blue collar background.

Again I repeat, I hope with all my heart that the child is found safe and well, but no way would I forgive a relative of mine that went with friends for a meal leaving their vulnerable children on their own espescially in a strange apartment, in a strange town, in a strange Country.

I am glad to see there are still members on site that have similar feelings, child neglect even had it been the Queen would still be child neglect.

I have merged the two threads on this subject.

so what you are saying to other people who may do the same is:
Hey its ok if you leave your children alone , whilst your on holiday or at home ... you have a nice few drinks... if anything happens:

You won't go to prison or have your other children taken off you:

you will have suffered enough... there there there..........

In my oppionion young children shouln't be left on there own, but how many parents went to Butlins and left ther children nowing there was a shally patrol, how many parents have just nipped to the corner shop? Hind sight is a great thing and I'm sure the Mackanns will rue their decision for the rest of their lives
