Was there any reason any of them had to expect any harm to come to their child?
When your child has dropped off to sleep, do you keep going in and looking cos I didn't generally. No sounds outside the door and that was good enough for me and most parents.
My bet is that Gerry carried out a visual that night cos the door had opened slightly since they left.
A visual check took place every half hour that night. Plus the listening one.
To remind you an audio check from outside, every half hour, was considerd enough for decades at holiday camps and hotels across the world.
THe Mccanns did visual ones
You still keep trotting this stuff out!..............Listening outside the
BEDROOM door of an UNLOCKED apartment open to the street is not the same as either a Butlins listening service or your own house.
"No sounds outside the door" might be good enough for you, but from an unlocked apartment, you could be listening to an empty room with the child already gone.
The McCanns had reason to suspect that Madeleine might wake distressed.........not sleep peacefully through the night. They discussed it..
They seemed to expect that there was a chance she might get out and find them and it is stated that they thought this might be "better" than waking and finding herself securely locked in. How "safe" is that?
On crimewatch, Gerry mentioned increasing the checks due to the possibility that Madeleine might wake distressed.
Never-the-less only one "checker,".......Gerry..... actually said he looked in and saw her in her bed the night she disappeared from an open apartment.
No-one else actually looked at her!
........and yet you still insist that this arrangement was somehow "superior"
Why?
Edited to add the omitted word BEDROOM.....
