Leaving a child alone is illegal in UK? Nah! From .gov.uk "The law on leaving your child on their own. The law doesn't say an age when you can leave a child on their own, but it's an offence to leave a child alone if it places them at risk. Use your judgement on how mature your child is before you decide to leave them alone, eg at home or in a car." If there are no other risks, the small child is asleep in a cot, and is checked frequently, would one reasonably be expected to plan for a kidnapper on the prowl? I'd say not. however leaving young children, toddlers or babies alone is a big no no. Parents can be prosecuted if they leave a child unsupervised ‘in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health’. leaving a very young child in an unsecure property may be a risk too far.

The facts are simple enough in this case. The couple wilfully left the kid unattended. They made the decision. As has been pointed out, if they had done this in the UK, the likelihood is they would have been prosecuted. This was not an accident or mistake, it was a decision thought about, and carried through. I suspect, had it been in the UK that they have built up enough hysteria and publicity that it wouldn't be in the public's interest to prosecute. Your probably correct. In fact, perhaps those exact circumstances have led to where we are on it now.

You haven't said yet whether you have any children, and if so, have you ever left them alone for a few moments? Yes. No.

The Maddie case will always stir up debate because leaving children unattended in this manner is a definite no for many.....however what happened was a dreadful tragedy and whatever they did wrong they did not deserve this. The victim was a child and her parents who must live with the consequences for the rest of their lives. Debates are healthy, we all express opinions based on persona perspectives. I left my kids very occasionally and only in circumstances where there was no other solution...husband worked away and I was solo parent and it wasn't easy....I was lucky no thing went wrong though we did have one horrific scare which lives in my mind and reminds me no matter how much you try there is always the wild card.

Personally, I'm sick and tired of hearing about this case. Hundreds of people go missing every year without this level of publicity. It's obvious that she's dead, why the police have to carry on with this case is beyond me.

My roots, what's left, are decidedly grey, possibly pointing to the left. I haven't claimed to be clever, where did I say that? Laters, car to load, cozzie to prepare, work to do.

But he's right. I have two grown up kids. We had a babysitter once who we knew. Other than that they were always in sight, always. I bet once you leave them once it becomes easier to do it again, and again. A slippery slope. My missus didn't work either so no child minders, no grandparents helped either, not even babysitting them so they were literally under our eye or at school.

I think this is what splits opinion. however parents are prosecuted for it and repeated or for long periods will see the children removed from the home. let's not kid ourselves unnecessary suffering and injury to health did happen. whatever the outcome she had.
