I shudder to think of the times that my children were in bed and we were in the back yard barbequing with music and noise. We would go into the house to check on them, but there was nothing except a locked front door (and sometimes departing guests would leave it unlocked.) and something like this happening.



I really dont think they did anything unreasonable seeing that they were in such close proximity. They were in the same compound, not the other side of town.

Too right , they did not 'go out and leave the children at home'. They went out and left them in a strange appartment.

How big is your garden? Must be a nice size if you're a 100 yds from the house when you BBQ.

As for 'clear view' check out this pic and reassess.



I don't know if you have any young children but let me give you some tips. A kid who wakes up in it's own bed will normally go looking for mummy/daddy not out the front door for a walkabout. (With the possible exception of my eldest who at 2 yrs old liked to toddle downstairs and put the TV on).

In a strange place walkabout is much more of a possibility.

In case I haven't been clear , I do not approve of this couple's behaviour. Also , this apparently was not an isolated incident. They systematically left their children unattended while they socialised , as did their circle of friends. I would class the lot of them as negligent unfit parents.
