Not safer than leaving them completely alone though, eh?

I think it was Ammi pointed out earlier, it's not even that you'd immediately jump to "what if some paedo is hanging around, waiting to take one of our children" there's loads of other scenarios that could happen from one of them waking up and falling to what if a fire breaks out all the way down to (the most likely to happen) one of them wakes up looking for me and I'm not there and is really upset with no adult there to comfort them?

They made a call and sadly it ended in tragedy ..

I recall the dilemmas of choosing child minders - we only went with extremely highly recommended babysitters

Sadly the McCanns didn’t have that luxury ..

If they didn't have that luxury - they shouldn't have left them. Period...

What does that even mean though? they didn't have access to highly recommended baby sitters that they knew personally so the only other option was to leave them alone? Come off it now. They had options, they could use the hotels baby sitting service(which had child minders they probably already knew from the kids club) or they could eat out earlier with their children or they could eat in the apartment after they'd gone to bed

Like I said during the day at a kid’s club there are more adults around ( and children)

That is entirely different to leaving a complete stranger alone in your chalet with your kids and any valuables IMHO

These child minders would have to be vetted by the Hotel I would imagine. So safer than leaving 2 two year olds and a 3 year old (who according to Kate had told her she had woken up the previous night and was crying because she couldn't find her) alone .......

Would you really trust the judgement of a hotel who will be paying the bare minimum to all employees ??

I wouldn't leave my children in the first place however if my only two options (for some bizarre reason) was to leave 3 children under 4 alone in the apartment or hire a babysitter through the Hotel I'd be taking the latter option

…and surely that’s the crux of it and of what’s being said in the thread…the decision was made and all events that evening in regards to Madeleine, stemmed from that decision…I believe that also has been the same thoughts that were expressed by Kate’s mother, the children’s grandmother of how they should never have been left alone…Kate and Gerry I’m sure have suffered dreadfully for the last 18 years for their decision on that evening and their actions that evening …and Madeleine can’t be left out of that, sadly…but for many parents, that would not have ever been ok is what’s being said because that’s the truth of it…
