To be honest, I have to agree with Elvis here. The children were very neglected, and more to the point, knowing that they'd be on holiday with friends, and expecting to dine/drink out without the children being there, then the parents should've paid for a nanny to go with them, or at the very least, used the childcare service on offer. Who in their right mind'd leave toddlers all alone in a strange country?? They might've woken up at any minute, thirsty or just wanting to see their parents - as youngsters do. Can you imagine their distress if they had, and not found anyone there? It was disgusting of the McCanns, but despite it all, it's poor Maddie's fate which upsets me most.
