So do you have statistics for people who go out and leave 3 very young children by themselves in unlocked accommodation whilst out wining and dining ?
I also wonder how many people would never dream of doing what the Mccanns did or have done that.
I also wonder how many case in the UK there are of people being prosecuted for doing what the Mccanns have done, though of course many hearings of this nature are held behind closed doors and never see the light of day.
As to the baby listening service, what relevance does this have ?
Why do you need statistics, the very fact that the Baby Listening service is offered in holiday resorts is proof that it is used and even more importantly - proof that there is a demand for it.
I'm sure there are lots of people who wouldn't dream of doing what the McCanns did - but that's their choice. Different people make different choices.
The Baby Listening service is legal, otherwise it would not be allowed to exist. The McCanns duplicated that service with a superior one - where instead of just listening at doors they could actually go into the apartments.
IMO Suggesting that they should be prosecuted is like saying the loving mother of a child who drowned in the bath because it was left unattended for a while should be prosecuted - or that parents of children who wander off for any amount of reasons and drown in garden pools should be prosecuted. They are not because it is recognised as 'human error 'Stephen - and we are all capable of it - including the McCanns.
