Am I hearing this right?
The little girl that has gone missing, probably kidnapped, in Portugal was 3 nearly 4, and had been left alone in a room with her twin brothers aged 2.
WTF? The parents had gone out to a “nearby” restaurant, and say they were drunkenly lurching back every 30 minutes or so (yeah, like a drunk knows when 30 minutes are up!) to check on their kids. Yeah right.
Even if it’s true, 30 minutes is a frighteningly long time for a distressed 2 or 3 year old waking up suddenly in need of help or comfort. It’s certainly long enough for a choking 2 year old to have died and be beyond help. And, I’d have thought, it was completely illegal to leave 3 young children alone and out of ear shot in such a way.
Look, I know I’m supposed to feel sorry for them and everything, but what the heck is wrong with these people?
If they ever find the young child then, apart from hanging the kidnapper, they also need to take the little girl and her brothers into immediate care.
