Missing British child
Friday, May 25 at 10:37 AM

Leroy M. Martinez of Denver writes:

Concerning a young British girl left alone in a hotel room while her parents go out to a restaurant in Portugal resort. I would not even thing of leaving my three year old daughter alone in my home while I go out shopping, eating or anything else.
But to go to another country and leave your child alone in a hotel room while I go out to ear is just plain stupid, foolish and dangerous. This all seems not right.

People do stupid things all of time. Why should this instance concern me more than any other?

When 2 of my babies (out of five) were under one and two, I delivered them to their mother every day for feeding as often as needed. We were three on a bike. I look back on it and think that was pretty stupid. Three on a bike is also unlawful.

Note: Reloy, click on "post" one time; sometimes it takes a minute to work. But, I guess you found out. "This all seems not right" doesn't seem right to me, and I won't call it "stupid."

Richard,
We live in different times,now. You were doing the right thing for your children "at the time". Don't beat yourself up for it. I, also, would not leave my 3 y/o alone, in a foreign country, in a hotel room. Nor would I allow any of the many things my parents allowed me to do. The times they are achangin'. Let's hope (and pray ;-) ) the child is found and restored to her parents.
