The last news item I read was that she( the child) was sleeping in a cot not far from where they sat. I think it is a bit harsh to insinuate that the mom was negligent. Yes- that might be true if that abduction of babies her age was a common thing in that part of the world she resides and there is a red alert about a kidnapper on the prowl.

I sincerely think she would not want to be careless with her own child. It is rather unfortunate it happened this way!

she was negligent. the parents were british and in britain its illegal to leave 3 young kids alone in a room. Should have known better

Its sad that this happend,it just goes to show what an evil world we all live in!!

even if the kids are asleep and you're in another room in the same house?
And mind that they were NOT in the UK so all this took place under different jurisdiction.
The Empire is no longer able to assert its will on the world, and hasn't been for quite some time.

It's a sad world where someone breaks into your home to abduct your kid and you're blamed because you weren't in the same room at the time...

It's also a sad world where someone is accused of being a child molestor just because he's a single white male living in an area where a child disappeared...

empire?

what i meant was they should have known better

and yes i agree that that man is being amde a scapegoat

People have to remember that parents do things they shouldnt all the time, its just that this time the worst happened. I dont think that there is a single parent here that could say they havent done things that would potentially cause their child harm

Did you watch the news today?

She was sighted nearly two weeks ago in north africa but the police failed to respond

Is that positively confirmed though? Or just a little lass who looked like her?

Lets hope it was her!!!!!!

They are pretty sure. Would make sense anyway, from portugal its easy to get to morocco and places like that and disappear easialy.

Her dad has now returned to the uk. I think they have given up.
