If I lived in London and had three young childrenno matter how clammy it got, I wouldn't be leaving the door open. I don't mean any harm with the comment, I just think that the situation could have been avoided with sensibleness.

sweet shitting christI actually commented to my other half that I was glad that I hadn't heard of any "it's her own fault" gubbins from brain-dead spastics...

ha! now that's what I call intelligent debate.whose fault is it then? Foxes in general? Should they be taught not to walk into open doors and bite unattended children? Boris Johnson's fault for allowing foxes into London? The kids' fault for smelling interesting to foxes? Or perhaps it was just an unfortunate accident. An unfortunate accident which might have been avoided by doing something such as not leaving your front door open when you have small kids.
Edit: You seem to be of the opinion that I'm implying she "deserved" it. I'm not saying that at all. Nobody deserves such a thing.

It was a freak event, foxes do not enter houses and bit childrenFrom the BBC:
Urban wildlife expert John Bryant said such an attack was extremely rare.
"I have only ever heard of two cases in my 40 years of dealing with foxes, one of which turned out to be a German Shepherd and the other a cat," he said.
What difference does it make that it was London?

Surely such attacks are extremely rare because most people in urban areas keep their doors firmly shut at night.

are you trying to dispell, or substantiate, my belief that you're a spastic?it was an unfortunate accident, obviously. Putting actual blame on anybody in this situation is the work of a moron.
In fact... you know what... you're right. This horrific incident, despite being unbelievably isolated should lead to people keeping their houses entirely air tight. God knows that a rabid bat might fly in through my window at night and bite me...

this aggression is quite odd. I'm sorry that I have a different opinion to you.I'm not saying that she should have expected that a fox would come in and attack the children. All I'm saying is that, personally, if I left my front door open with small children in my house, I would find it somewhat risky. Perhaps I'm paranoid, but closing the door seems to me to be normal behaviour for protecting my family from danger.
I'm not trying to say that it's any less horrific or unexpected, I just find leaving the door open to be strange behaviour for a parent of babies and young children.

I'm with you on this one.Foxes aside, there are a whole host of other reasons not to leave small children unattended near open doors.

I leave the back door open in hot weather when the baby is asleep upstairsthere are a few massive foxes around my way.
The chances that one will come in are very very small, the chances that one will come in and find it's way to the baby's room are incredibly small.
The chances that one will find its way to the baby's room and attack the baby are infinitesimally small.
This event is so incredibly unlikely it's frankly suspicious. Much like the Maddie case... so... your picture works!
Hurrah!
