Surprised you ARE a parent with such comments.
Good post toffee, your post above happens to lot of parents. I think the difference is the parents of maddys was that they are both professional doctors and left all 3 children alone in the apartment and from what I understand it wasn't even locked according to the media but having says that we don't know. I'm no way looking for blame but don't understand why they left them alone. I'm not over protected but I still worry for my 2 boys and they are 18 & 20 yrs!toffee said:I lost one of my boys for two hours once, my own fault, out in the group with lots of kids running round, all safe with our respective friends, at a place called whinlatter, which is centre in the lakes, with various wooded walks through various fells.
I thought he was in front with others, as our kids were all running between the various parents at various stages on the walks.
He had ran off to hide and got lost, then was found by parents further on.
there were no phone signals to check updates from the others in a vast expanse of wooded land, yet quite busy with people.
I think without a doubt, that was the worst ever time of my life.
Had someone said to me during that time, 'its your own fault', it would have been simply cruel.
