When this argument rears it's head here it makes me think about a girl I used to work with, a few years ago and before I had kids. She had two kids at the time, one was about 18 months and the other was about 4 I think.
She told me that she had left them alone in the house a couple of times, to pop to the shop for milk I think. She stressed it was a 2 minute walk down the road and that she felt it was easier to go by herself.
Horses for course, I suppose.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

If a single mother in a none too desirable neighborhood popped next door to get a cup of sugar leaving her child momentarily alone and when she returned, the child was gone. Yes, there would be the police search, the appeals, etc. but would there be this enormous press coverage (worldwide), would there still be police on the case some years later, would there be donations and so on? No, she would probably be villified by the press and public and seen as an unfit mother (and if she had more children, they would probably be under the care of social services by now) but if you're a white middle class telegenic professional family then presumably anything goes. Personally I feel sorry for the child and would feel sorry for the parents if there just wasn't this huge sideshow around the whole bloody thing.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

If the OP is who I think he is, its a pretty odious post from a decent lad, especially as he has a young child himself. Ive no truck with the mcann's and think if theyd have been council stock would have received a different reaction from the press et al.
The anonymity of the tinterweb web, eh?
Just surprised the mods allow this sort of tulip even in General.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment
