Then each & every one of them is guilty of child neglect & at best poor parenting .

OK
I could say the same about every parent who smokes in front of their kids every parent who gives their kids fizzy drinks or sweets every parent who had a drink whilst pregnant etc etc etc.
The fact is that it is very very common and the above have put kids at far greater risk statistically than having a child in an unlocked room.

Less of the personal insults hey?

I’m really not digging anything, I’ve followed this case quite a lot and changed my mind on their guilt quite a lot.

If you can be nice we won’t talk.

It seems those more willing to insult are the ones with the same opinion - debate the topic or we’ll get the thread pulled.

That’s fine by me. We won’t talk.

Although this has now gone off on a bit of a tangent, I would argue the average thrower of a stone could not accurately hit a target 77.38 meters away.

Are we talking the average person or the average person likely to throw a stone ;-) ?

You’re behaving like a child.

Goodnight.

Are you genuinely trying to equate leaving your kids in an unlocked apartment in a foreign country to parents giving kids sweets?

The ‘lots of people do it so it’s ok’ theory.

Lots of people use drugs around their kids.

Lots of people are involved in domestic violence around their kids.

Lots of people sexually abuse kids.

All alright this yeah?

Virtually every single one who left their kids alone came to no harm.

Something that seems to continuously get overlooked by the 'it could happen to anyone camp' is that there were so many things they could've done to hugely minimise the risk

Like staying in with their very young children and locking the doors rather than going out on the piss and leaving them alone with the doors open in an unfamiliar place?

Extremely simple and straightforward in my eyes.

Not really its probably safer.

Now now! That was a somewhat obtuse question; the de facto interpretation of an 'ordinary man' test holds no account of the particulars of the person in question, unless the standard is a higher subjective-objective one ;)

They gambled, and lost, massively.
