They didn’t feel bevvies were more important - they probably felt the kids were perfectly safe and were unaware an abduction was being planned.

That’s my main point.

I don’t believe the thought “sod the kids” entered their heads.

would love to know what you think their rationale was to leave them in a room and not have them with them regardless of whther they thought they were safe or not

Mmm how many kids each year are miserable , self harm and occasionally kill themselves because of obesity, how many lose their teeth every year , how many get type2 diabetes. I am not saying or even trying to suggest that if you give your kids sweets you are a rotten parent. My kids had some sweets .
But looking at it form what does harm to kids the number of instances of childhood abduction is vanishingly small , the number of cases of miserable fat kids is not.

Fucking lol.
Ban sweets now!!!

Not at all just don't jump to insult folk who put their kids to bed have a meal within eyeshot of their apparent and check on them regularly.

Actually what they did was have a meal after they'd put their kids to bed, kind of like what an awful lot of people do.

really i wouldn't of, the most i would of done is be on the veranda right outside, absolutely not 77m away with an obscured veiw gradually getting more inebriated

Kids are usually upstairs though and not across a complex

Plenty of times they are that I have seen

Exactly. 60 yards as the crow flies or a 100 yard walk is not a short distance. I used to live in a house 20 yards from a pub and wouldn't dream of leaving the kids alone in the house while I went to the pub, especially leaving the door unlocked.

It makes it normal behaviour.
My parents generation always put their kids out in front of the house to sleep in a pram, no one would have thought twice about leaving kids outside a shop in a push chair.
On the continent in holiday camps it is normal to leave your kids sleeping when you are having meal
