I hope they find her safe and well, and then lock the parents up.
Who in their right mind would leave a 3 yr old girl alone anywhere.
Never mind in a foreign country... idiots!

Damn Sony are so slow with providing parts.

The trouble is that I get told "sod off, you're not in the UK" when I try most sites.

No, I'm not being over-protective, just realistic. There's some very bad people about, and you just don't know who they are.

But I had gone out with people that have. They're not mine, but they're very much part of your life.

you sound like a scary dad.
my dad wasn't like that at all.
you know he'd just come in, wave about and scream "it's your fault i drink" then he'd like cry and fall asleep in front of the 10 o'clock news.
you know, normal family.

A quote from the BBC news website by one of the grandparents "To all the people that say they shouldn't have left her- When you look at the layout of the complex, it was perfectly safe to leave her".
Well obviously not, moron.
Actually, As a point of intrest, I live about 4-5 miles from them.

My dad's colleague went to Bangkok with wife and 13 year old daughter.
One morning they sent her to the lobby in the hotel to get a newspaper and never saw her again.
His wife ended up in a mental institution.
It's horrific.

You never think something llke that will happen to you! It's horrific, but you only head about it with other people until it happens to you.

At first I thought the same thing. But from what I've heard, the restaurant were only a few yards away, and they were checking up every half hour.
I'm not a parent. But I do realise that it's a damn tough job, with a hell of a lot of responsibility. And I don't know how often they left their kids in a similar situation, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was their one break in God knows how long. And I can't hold that against them, because I can't say with absolute conviction that I wouldn't have done the same thing. Hindsight is 20/20, and everyone thinks that that type of thing only happens to someone else.

Like I said, I'm not a parent, and things like this is one of the reasons I don't want to be just yet. I'm smart enough to know I'm not responsible enough.

when you want a piss-up. It's a commitment you make, from the birth until they are old enough to look after themselves (not fucking 3 y/o) You are responsible for them 100%. If you can't do that, you shouldn't have kids.
Anyway, why were the kids not at the dinner with them? Holidays are for the family to enjoy.

You have your meal as a family all together, and then go get drunk with your wife/husband with duty-free rum on the hotel room balcony whilst watching the sun set.

that's the point, just cos someone doesn't find it funny, doesn't mean it's wrong, when you start marking things out as being funny and not funny, you're causing discrimination, and that's bad man, that's what the MAN wants you to do! free your mind from the fascist state man! *considers starting board hippies club to combat board nazis*
