Sorry McGrath

You believe what you like.
This threads title concerns law, children & neglect.
My children were NEVER left alone.
They have been asleep in another room but always where we could hear them if they cried, called etc.
You & others may think it normal to leave children to go for a drink but I & mine do not.

If you do not want the responsibility of looking after your children you should not have them.

Your veiled insults will not change my point of view one bit. It tells us more about your sense of responsibility than anything else.
