Those parents who leave their babies outside are Nordic parents.
Swedes, Danes, Fins - the same folk who also believe in hot saunas followed by rolling naked in the snow.
It is a cultural belief.
They never ever leave their babies outside AT NIGHT.
They never leave their babies out of their sight, either.
The McCanns didn't leave their babies outside, they left them in an unlocked foreign hotel room completely alone and unobserved.
This is not acceptable anywhere save a war zone, in my country or in the UK or even Portugal or any of the Nordic countries.
The babies in the cold are with their mothers or carers. Madeleine and her siblings were entirely alone.
That is not true. They just park them and go in, I have more pictures of prams parked all over the side streets and no one can see them from inside. They can not watch them every minute from out there. It would take a second for someone to push one right down the street. It is a practice that would never been done here, I would not do that either. It is a parenting decision and very much like this.
No matter what they did leaving the kids in that room does not meet neglect for me. IT may not be the smartest thing but I don't see neglect.
"For Danes, the dunes are a matter of necessity because their kids nap outside year-round. If the family doesn’t have a yard or a balcony, the babies might nap in the courtyard while moms check on them occasionally from their fifth-story windows as they bring their minimalist houses to the impossible levels of perfection Oprah featured in her Copenhagen segment."
