The resort that they were staying at has a policy which encourages parents to do this. The parents are given monitors for the rooms and staff members are normally stationed around the hotel to listen out for crying children. It's part of their marketing material that it is safe in this way. I doubt they will be using it in the future though.
man, the kidnapper/peado had obviously been casing the joint.
Just to clear-up, the McCanns refused the baby-minding service and only one of the couples in the group used a monitor. Mark Warner Resorts run a service by which members of staff check on the sleeping children. This is the service they said they didn't need.
To my mind the media tried to create a consensus that it was acceptable to leave children unattended on holiday--'everyone has done it at one time' --when in fact, I'd say it's unusual. Perhaps, no one wanted to cause the McCanns unnecessary distress over the abduction.
It's not unusual for children in Morocco to have sandy hair, especially small kids. There's been three sightings in Morocco, in completely different parts of the country, accompanied by different people. If you see the entire sequence that the photo (now 4 weeks ago old) is taken from its clearly a family traveling somewhere. There's even a dad, pushing a wheel barrow full of suit cases, off to the left. I mean, these poor people don't even have a car and we are expected believe that Madeleine has been abducted to ride round in a sling on an old woman's back.
And yet, we are being asked to accept this 'proof' over DNA testing from the UK Forensic Science Services and the presence of a 'death scent' in the apartment and in the boot of their car. It's a stretch...
I have to check this, but the Spanish woman who came forward with this photo, did so at the behest of the McCann's lawyers. Almost every news story this week seems to have come from Clarence Mitchell the McCann's PR director. Conversely, the Portuguese police have been very quiet.
Another thing I find irritating is that if the McCann's know or have suspicion about something they talk about it being 'intuitive'...a parent's intuition. This is some really emotive horseshit-way of tapping into the public psyche. I dislike it a lot. Lately, they 'feel' that Madeleine is in Morocco. Just in the same way Gerry 'sensed' the abductor was hiding in the apartment when he checked on the children, and yet despite this he returned to the meal unconcerned.
As a point of interest, the idea of an abductor hiding in the apartment when Gerry checked has only been proposed this week, since Jane Tanner's description of 'a man carrying a bundle' was contradicted by neighbouring holiday-maker Jeremy Wilkins. This caused the group to rethink their time-line and change their version of events. It's almost as if they felt they had to help us visualise a bogeyman crouching in the flat to convey their story.
