No, he was asking me if I had no comment (on that Scottish case) and I was throwing it back to him asking if he had no comment that if the McCann's hadn't left Maddie there is every chance that she would still be safe and well.

I didn't make it clear - my fault

I want to see what proof he has of the MILLIONs of people leaving their kids alone, LT is normally such a stickler for facts and figures, I am sure he will have such proof at his finger tips

Well, I've never come across it. The "norm" around anyone I know when taking kids on holiday is take them with you to eat, they just go to bed a bit later

This. Or eating earlier to get back to the apartment earlier.

OR, something even easier when you have such a large group of people... taking it in turns to babysit the kids whilst people have an evening off.

Quite, that would be so bloody easy and the parents would have had to miss out on ONE night each.

When we go away as a family, if its too late for the kids to go out (and 8pm or whatevers not considered late for kids on holiday) we do this, one adult watches them all. Easy. But thats of course for parents/family/friends who actually give a crap. Kids love it too as its like a sleepover, a bunch of kids in one room. Its quite stressful for the adult drawing the short straw though
