We all do that anyway. Parents who wheel push chairs and shove them right at the edge of the road do so. leaving a child on its own in the bedroom carries risk. Entrusting the child with a minder or even leaving the child with teachers at the nurseries carries risk.
I will also point out that what the Mcanns was pretty well risk free. it is not as if holiday camps have a history of child abduction is it?
Tsk risk management
The likelihood of that risk being realised was low.
However the impact if this risk was realised were very high.
And so anyone who has done basic risk management would be able to put a matrix together and it would be a yellow

With risk management, you are constantly reassessing the risk. They only assessed it once, if at all. I disagree with your grading anyway. I would upgrade everything by one slot or leave out the bottom line if it were a critical activity - which this was. Please don't tell us about good/best practice. How many programmes have we all seen badly managed and off track?
Talking about risk, I would imagine there was more risk leaving them at home under the care of someone known to the family if the statistics are to be believed. So all of you caning the McCanns just remember that when you are thinking about leaving your little mini-me cherubs with 'Uncle Jimmy'!
I'd never wish this kind of misery on anyone but over the years, it's mildly amusing thinking which of the people defending the McCanns would have been incensed if it was a dole mother in the spotlight instead of two very well educated people?
