What a typical Press sensation story. The children were not "left" by the mother, their grandmother was in charge of them. Maybe she was lax in watching them every second but children tend to wander off, no matter what. The woman was searching, frantically, for them and it's only due to where they ended up that there's any news in the story.
I must be the world's worst mother as I once "lost" my elder daughter in a Scarborough department store and "lost" my son in an open-air museum. Both, thank God, did what we had always told them to do if they couldn't find us and went to the car park and stood beside our car. I am obviously wicked and uncaring, just like these children's mother, and very lucky the BBC didn't hear about it.
