Difficult one this. Truly awful for all involved but let's hope the girl is found alive and well very soon.

We do need to find out exactly what happened and the stories I've heard about the parents have varied from them being a few yeards away and checking every half and hour to being 200 yards away and checking hourly.
I can only speak for us and we would NEVER leave our children (10 &12) alone in that manner even now let alone at that age. I was under the impression that the appeal of this hotel complex to parents was that babysitting facilities were always available. If so, I'm wondering why the parents didn't use them on this occasion and how often they'd done likewise.

Having nearly lost our youngest a couple of times due to serious medical issues we are perhaps more protective and paranoid than most about leaving them unattended especially in situations such as this.

A very salutary tale I feel but let's all pray that it ends well.
