Leaving your children repeatedly in an unlocked apartment is intent.

Take it up with the PT General Attorney then.

No it is not.

[stephen25000]

No it is not.

Are you for real ?

[Eleanor]

Are you for real ?

Oh, indeed I am.  It's you I worry about.

Why allow hotel resorts in Portugal to have a listening service then if it's illegal?

[stephen25000]

Oh, indeed I am.  It's you I worry about.

There is nothing for you to worry about.

It's the mccanns with major problems now, and you know it.

[Eleanor]

she left her kids alone too from memory that may bias her opinion??

Yes, I did, Carly.  But everybody knows that, because I said so, and because you repeat it. Frequently.

There is nothing for you to worry about.

It's the mccanns with major problems now, and you know it.

Yes.  Their daughter is still missing.

[stephen25000]

Yes.  Their daughter is still missing.

I think I know that.

However, I wasn't referring to her being missing.

[jassi]

No it is not.

Quite right. Its more like indifference.

Why allow hotel resorts in Portugal to have a listening service then if it's illegal?

The MW PDL resort never had a listening service.
None of the 9 adults had ever used an MW listening service anywhere in the world.
A few of them had observed other parents using one at a completely different company's resort in Greece 2006.
The illusion that they had used an MW listening service in Greece was conjured up by the early PR people.

Infanticide is a powerful tool in ensuring the survival of a species, researchers are increasingly finding.

It sounds like the cruellest thing of all - mothers and fathers brutally killing their animal offspring.

But for many animal infants, the greatest threat to their survival they face is from their own kind.

"It's not like a predation event, which is quiet," says lion expert Professor Craig Packer.

"During infanticide, it's growling and violent, and really pretty disturbing," he says, describing how adult lions kill cubs. "They bite them on the back of the head, and neck, crushing their abdomens."

Most animals are killing babies for a very good reason. Adult male lions kill all the cubs when they take over a pride because the cubs aren't theirs. The cubs were fathered by the previous male or males. They kill them so the females will come on heat and have the new male's cubs. Dominant female meerkats kill other female's babies because only the dominant female is allowed to breed.
