DA, all you are trying to do is mitigate what they did. Others will not, as they'd not leave their kids alone full stop.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Why do you think he is showing an obsessive amount of control simply because he is ensuring the safest possible, least risky environment for his children?
Really? I am genuinely interested in how you think it is wrong to do that?Bazza gets caught

So, define unattended.
Oh, and my wife and I are very happy with how we bring up our children by the way.Comment

My 4 year old is autistic and difficult to predict and my 2 year old likes opening doors and will happily walk through them and shut them again. Hence our external doors are kept locked most of the time.
When they play in the garden we lock the gate, otherwise they might open it and wander off. Or someone might open it and snatch them or steal things from the garden.
In an unfamilar environment they might end up doing anything from my son getting into a random car with an open door to my daughter getting caught in a behvioural loop and repeating the same actions without any observtion of the environment (oncoming cars, causing an obstruction for other people etc).
I am wary of allowing unobserved access from their bedroom to outdoors in unfamilar areas as much to stop them from leaving as to prevent people coming in.
Which part of this strikes you as obsessive?Comment

What you have to consider m'lud are these questions:
1. What is a permissable length of time can you take your eye off your kids? Is it 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 45 minutes or 1.0000000000.19999 minutes?
2. What were they doing when they were absent from their kids? were they working? were they attending church? or were they god forbid enjoying themselves eating dinner with friends?
3 In the time that they were away from their kids did they have a line of site to the door of their apartment?
4. How often if at all did they go back to the room to check their kids?
5. What horrible foreign country were they in?
6. What sort of place were they staying? Was it an apartment in the midddle of a city of paedos or was it in a gated area on a holiday site?
Now remember there are a lot of people who are disgusted by the behaviour of the Mccanns so we must get this right. We need to establish at what point the Mcanns fell over the boundary of what is acceptable parental behaviour (to the sanctimonious judgemental affluent middle class parents with serious personal issues about their own parenting) and what is an abandonment of responsibility. Once we have established this we can then sentence them (you have lost your child and it is your fault so we throw you to the mob) or dismiss them and see if anyone else may be responsible for the abduction of Madeleine.Comment

The notion anyone is odd for locking the door when they, and their children, are in their house, is in itself odd.
It's not odd, it's ensuring they don't come to harm, possibly a central tenet to being a parent. It's obvious why some on hear do not understand that, but for a parent to question it?Comment
