SallyAnne, you're probably too young to have experienced this but...
"Baby crying in Chalet (whatever number)" would be written on a placard and paraded round a holiday camp nightclub to alert patrons that the child they'd left alone for a couple of hours needed attention.
Leaving kids alone for a couple of hours while checking on them regularly used to be the norm. Arriving back and seeing an empty bed did not.
I hope they find who's responsible.
I also certainly hope that the Portuguese Police are not castigated just because they're not as open as the UK Police are. They've got their own procedures and should be permitted to follow them.
