As I said all the couples deemed it safe and normal. They did not expect an abduction just as you would not expect one in the shops but it does happen

I think the only thing i'm guilty of as a parent is over worrying and over mothering, i've never said i were the best parent and they may criticise my style of parenting but i think it were madness for them to leave their kids all of them under 4 years old, in an unlocked apartment out of eyeshot, could you honestly leave your kids in the same situation, did you ever think your kids were/are 100% safe? I know i worry about my kids every minute they aren't with me, they could have used the child-club/babysitting facilities and they chose not too, and yes it was their call and what a call/risk to take for now it has life long repercussions for them for the rest of their lives, i question their common sense if they think/thought it's safe and normal to leave such little ones alone in a foreign country alone in an unsecured apartment to have a meal and drinks with friends, we all make mistakes as parents, but wow, what a mistake to make.
