I suspect that the parents thought they were in a warm, family-centred, affectionate place where everyone around would take care of their kids, and hiring a sit-in babysitter was over the top.

It may be that their children make strange with people they don't know, and wouldn't sleep with a sit-in babysitter.

The service where a sitter walks around and listens outside the door is obviously superfluous since the parents were checking their own children every 15 minutes.

Under normal circumstances, surely leaving the kids asleep while you snack a few metres away is scarcely child neglect.

I hope - as all do here - that the little one is found safe and well. It's looking increasingly unlikely, but where there's no body, there's hope.

The man being questioned may yet prove quite innocent - I'm shocked at Sky's portrayal of him.

I pray that some lonely girl in want of a baby stole the child, and will give her back.
