    We all make do things which in hindsight we know were stupid but most time we are lucky that the results are not devastating and even more lucky, that the mistakes did not become public knowledge and thus allow all the 'perfect ones' to tell us, over and over again, how stupid our mistakes were. !!!

    john i've not lead a blameless life, but i've never left my kids alone in the house, not even for 1 min never mind go for a meal in a restaurant 120metres away.

    little joe is over 4yrs old now, no way could i leave him in the house alone, he could wake up anytime, open doors etc, that would be irresponsible

    I guess though you left them in an upstairs bedroom on their own whilst you were downstairs, watching TV etc. If anything had happened ( I have investigated many cot deaths) it would have been so easy for others to say the same about you.


    The couple who's child was attacked by a fox in an upstairs bedroom whilst they were downstairs is such an example.

    the doors are locked on this house john so no one can take them, also another reason is little joe can open the doors, sure something could happen to them, fall etc, , but how can you compare that to leaving 3 kids alone in an unlocked room while you go out for a meal ??

    i dont think maddie was taken by a fox,

    i'm sure if you was on this case john, you might say they are not to blame to them, but you would be thinking the opposite.

    i've a lot of sympathy for them and especially maddie and i hope this is a warning to other parents to be responsible for their children.

    and john my daughter use to go to the 'kids club' for years, an after school club run by teachers by the school, they looked after the kids from 3:15 to 5:15pm, they were cheap and very good, but until one day i was late, got there 5:20pm and they told me if i had not got there before 5:30 they would have phoned social services , so i dont use them no more, i pay a childminder alot more money to look after them..

    and they dont need blame from me, i'm sure they are still blaming themselves
