Hope this question doesn't offend anyone but i cant help thinking.....?

that the parents in Portugal of the missing little 3 year old girl need their brains checked out. Considering that they are professional i.e. doctors and presumably intelligent human beings, how on earth can any parent leave 3 young children under the age of 3 ALONE? I dont care how near they were. As a parent myself, i wouldn't have been thinking of any of the children being abducted but my thoughts would be, fire, one of the kids having nightmare, just waking up and finding no mummy or daddy there. Anything could happen. I am just so sad for this poor little girl. I know the parents are going to have to live with this guilt for the rest of their lives but i just cant believe that intelligent parents would leave 3 young kiddies alone in a strange country and strange apartment. I wouldn't do it at home let alone abroad. What are your comments please.
