I doubt that they will ever leave the other two children out of their sight. I suspect that they have learnt in the hardest possible way imaginable that it's not ok to leave your children alone.

They probably can't be charged with child neglect because there is no one who is able to do that. It's against the law to leave your child alone in the UK but they weren't in the UK so not under our law. For all I know it may not be an offense in Portugal so they weren't charged there or it may be that because they are British they couldn't be charged.
