FIND MADDIE
3 year-old Madeleine McCann has been missing for 16 days now, and it appears that the Portuguese police are just as clueless as they were on day 1. As much as I wish for her to be safely returned, I do believe that her parents are responsible for her disappearance. Who on Earth would leave 3 children under the age of 4 at home and go off for dinner? I know they had dinner 50 yards away and they checked on the children every 30 minutes but still... YOU CALL THAT RESPONSIBLE PARENTING? And I am pretty sure it was not their first time leaving their children behind.
Most families live in high-rise block of flats here in HK. There had been countless cases of children falling to their deaths because they were left at home and they leaned out of the window to see when their mothers would return, lost their balance, and fell to their deaths. All of their parents had the same excuse, that they would be gone for 10 minutes only so they thought it was fine to lock their vulnerable children at home.
People should learn from mistakes, their own ones and that of others. This is why we have history lessons at school!

If I will learn from this. When the time comes to make a quick decision, I would...

Would you take your young kids to a nice restaurant or find a babysitter?
I was so nice to strangers when I was four. Everyone was nice. I remember that too.
I would find a babysitter. Kids can't appreciate find dining really, and I don't think a positive element to a fine dining experience with the significant other anyway.
They should have seen if there was day care of something. It was the horrible end to a bad mistake.
I guess it is because I am American but I can't imagine leaving my child alone like that.
i saw the news on tv. Did my bit and tagged her picture on my del.icio.us. Sad really, what would anyone want with her?
