And if it were your child you would shut up, give up ???

Well it's a moot question because if it were my child, I'd have taken more care of them. If it did happen though, i'd crawl over broken glass and deal with the devil himself if it meant finding them. I certainly wouldn't do what these two have done.

So do you have children ?
And if you do, you had your beady eye on them 24 / 7 ?
ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER.
No parent is perfect, we all make mistakes. Even you.

This must make their pain doubly worse, yes it was an error of judgement, yes it was a wholly wrong thing to do as it turned out but no-one deserved the outcome or the repercussions, least of all the little girl.
I wonder how many mums or dads have run out of milk say and popped across the road to the local shop, leaving small kids alone for a short while. There for the grace of god goes pretty much everyone.

This wasn't a "mistake". A mistake is locking your keys inside your car. A mistake is trying to put a library card into a cashpoint.
Choosing to leave your children alone in an unlocked apartment in a foreign country night after night while you went out on a jolly with your mates is neglect.

I've got a lovely example of that. My 2 year old son was having an afternoon nap in his bed, and woke to find mum not there. He opened the front door, walked half a mile into town, crossed a busy road and duly arrived at the shop we owned at the time. The woman working there shut the shop and brought him home.
Mum was at home all the time. She was talking to our elderly neighbour across the back fence. She thought he was still in bed, and was shocked when he arrived home.
So easy. Was she to blame ? The front door was shut (yale lock, but not latched down) but he managed to open it...

Jeez I bet that sent shivers down the spine of you and the missus. I reckon you were stunned, terrified and grateful all at the same time.

Spot on.
That door was locked from then on.

They were in sight of the accommodation.
They checked on the kids regularly.
I am not saying they were right to do what they did - but I repeat - no-one is perfect.
(ps you didn't answer whether you would keep your kids under surveillance 24 / 7)
