Got to admit i hadn't seen the pictures of the distance from the apartment and the tapas bar, and like korm, i have to admit to them being quite a distance from each other, and one that I personally wouldn't be comfortable about, the Mccanns however believed their children would be safe.
Before the incident happened i'm sure there were thousands of parents who have done exactly the same as the Mccanns- left their children in a room whilst they dined close by, i'm sure not all of them used the babysitting facility (often appallingly ineffective anyway). Does that make all of them evil and bad parents? Of course not, it's called never forseeing that kind of outcome in a million years.
I've said it before and i'll say it again, I think it's terrible kicking this couple when they are already down. I cannot begin to imagine their grief, and to state their lack of emotion in the public eye is an admission of guilt is downright evil.
