I totally agree with Zingle on this and am still amazed that folk think leaving young children on their own is acceptable. This was brought home to me recently when someone I know of had their 4 year old die in their arms, everything happened within a few seconds showing how quickly events can happen.

Part of me feels anger towards these parents for being so stupid and selfish yet my heart goes out to them in such a sad and awful situation. I hope that parents that may have taken such a chance in the future may now have second thoughts and realise that bad things can happen when you least expect them.

As for her disappearance I wonder if they have the same system in Portugal as they do in the States where paedos are known to the police and exactly where they live. Maybe that's why the police sound confident as they have an idea who may be involved?
