Have I really missed something here during the mass reporting? Did the abductor walk in of the street into the complex past reception and all the other guests, checking each room at his leisure for a victim? Or did he break in around the rear of the complex with a crowbar?

You're saying they didn't do enough, ergo are to blame for her being abducted.

How about appologising for accusing me of misquoting you?

how can I have accused you of misquoting me for a post I had not even yet posted

If they'd gone out drinking at one of the nightclubs in town with no intention of coming back for hours and having no one check in on them, that would be irresponsible.
And you do mind what people think you mean, other wise you wouldn't be going on and on about it so much

The last time they checked before noticing the time MAddie was abducted was 50 mins (police report based on evidence given by the parents)

I can't believe that people think its reasonable to leave 3 children under the age of 4 home alone. And so what if there are other people in the complex supposedly 'looking out ' for your kid. I have yet to read anything about the parents saying anything to anyone else to keep an eye out on their kids, more that it was an 'understanding'. No aspect of childcare was formalised or agreed or talked out.

Responsible parents? IN THIS CASE definately not.

Therefore placing blame on them. Which you've been doing thoughout the thread by stating that they should not have left the children.
Why shouldn't they have left the children? Because to do so left them open to abduction you've said, hence the mobile phone analogy.
Now you're trying to backtrack like a Tory front bencher being asked about Grammar schools

I dont think anyone is they seem to avoid the question when I ask

do you think its ok to leave 3 children under 4 alone while the parents go out without any proper supervision

The abductor is to blame for the abduction
The parents should not have left the children alone.
I would say the same if there was no abduction and just news of negligence

They should not have left the children because of accident fire distress other reasons ive also constantly highlighted in this thread

[Xaccers]

Yes I think it's ok to be 100 yards or so away from the kids while having a meal and checking in on them regularly.
That is no different to being inside the house while children are playing out in the street, or in a next door neighbours garden.
Millions of parents don't sit and watch their children every minute of the day, especially at night.
Are you saying that millions of parents are negligent because they leave their children asleep in bed for 30 minutes?

Thank you for you answer.
Im sorry but im not gonna answer your question as I feel its rediculas. Totally different

Most of what I have read says the patio doors of the apartment were unlocked.

If you are in the next room then it is possible that you hear a noise or your child shouting and you go investigate. If you are in a tapas bar 100 yards away you are not going to hear anything.

Children's screams normally go further than 100yds.

an apartment block will have a lot of noise surely who could know which child made a noise

Really?
No family apartment blocks I've stayed in have had lots of noise after dark, normally because they're family orientated.
As a parent, you KNOW your child's screams if they need help

And of course Tapas bars are quiet places with no music playing.

Also according to the paper today they could only see the wall of the apartment, they couldn't see the door or windows.

well I definately would if I was in the apartment, 100 yards away around a corner in a bar with a few drinks inside me I could not say
