Read all about it But when I first heard about the British girl missing from the Portuguese vacation villa, I immediately thought of the parents. I totally sloughed that off as that seemed like a ridiculous first assumption; these tragedies happen, unfortunately (which is an incredible understatement), even to good parents. However, today I read the following:

McCann vanished May 3 after her parents left her, and her brother and sister, both aged 2, alone while they went to a nearby restaurant within their hotel complex at Praia da Luz, a vacation resort in Portugal's Algarve region.

Now, I realize the parents could just be massive idiots. But who in the hell leaves a 3 year old with TWO 2 year-olds alone in a hotel room while they jet out to eat at a restaurant? Either their horrendous parenting caused this poor child's disappearance by giving a monster opportunity, or they themselves are the cause. Personally, I don't think any sane parent on this earth would have done this, and this makes me wonder about my first suspicion. It's just too much of a coincidence that a monster found this girl alone when the parents happened to be out and about. Three children three and under alone in a hotel room? JFC I just don't even know what to say.
