This i can't argue with^^^^

But what made the McCanns think their kids were safe, because in my mind as a parent i'd be thinking that one of them could be sick and choke on their vomit, Maddie could fall out of bed and hit her head then be crying for a mum and dad that aren't there (as she's cried a previous night), to know your child is crying for you and you aren't there is a heartbreaking thought, Maddie could wander into a nearby room and injure herself in that room, there are so many things that can happen to really small ones, so what made them think they were safe, maybe the medication they gave them made them have a certain amount of safety knowing that the likelihood of the kids waking up were minimal, maybe they'd done this before on a previous holiday and it gave them false confidence, what i do know is that the regular parent would not leave children so small unguarded in a foreign country in an unsecured apartment whilst out having fun with friends.
