Kate McCann answered the criticisms as to why they thought it was safe to leave the children alone in her interview with The Independent. We know how tragically wrong she was.

I also hope Social Services don't take any action against the couple. It would only make an awful situation even worse, assuming they are innocent in her disappearance. If they did, they have to take action against the other parents too. Otherwise they'd be penalising the McCanns for being the unlucky (for want of a better word) ones.

It's never safe to leave a child on their own though !!! I'm not a parent and even I know if i had three young children I would not leave them without adequate supervision in place !!!
