Madeleine, who turns four next Friday, and her two-year-old twin brother and sister Sean and Amelie were left in their apartment alone as their parents dined at the tapas restaurant 200 yards away.
The resort offered a creche service but the couple opted to leave the children sleeping at the apartment, taking turns to check on them at regular intervals.

I really hope this child is found safely, and that her parent's are then prosecuted. They even have the cheek to complain the police aren't doing enough to find her, after leaving three young children unattended whilst they enjoyed their dinner.
By the way, the regular interval was an hour after last checking, according to latest reports.
