Clearly those kids shouldn't of been left and there's no excuse for what they did, but Paynes kids were also left in their rooms, not in the crèche and the reason the Paynes checked on the McCanns kids is, they had to pass their apartment on the way to checking their own kids. The Paynes kids were further away than Maddie and the twins.
In the case notes with all the witness statements, it says that someone was popping in every 20 minutes (which I appreciate isn't good enough). Mr Payne had checked prior to the next check when Maddie was found missing but he says in the statement that although he could see the twins in the cots, he didn't see Maddie because it was too dark and he just believed she was sleeping.
There is absolutely nothing in those case files that suggest Maddie was being given sedatives and yet the papers had a field day suggesting Maddies parents regularly drugged her.
