£2.5m Reward to anyone who can help with information leading to the safe return of Madeleine McCann

Madeleine McCann wasn't around to celebrate her 4th birthday with her family because she was was abducted from her apartment bedroom in Praia da Luz holiday village(Algarve, Portugal) on Thursday 3rd of May 2007.

Why did Madeleine's parents (both of whom are physicians) leave 3 toddlers alone in an apartment at the resort of Praia da Luz?
Apparently the parents wanted to eat alone together at a Tapas Bar located in walking distance to the apartment and thought they could check up on the children (this is between 9 PM and 10 PM -- rather a late time slot to leave one's children unattended).

Once a couple has babies, toddlers, it's not always possible to flirt with each other late at night at the Tapas Bar while the very young children are left unattended. It's lovely for a couple to have a romantic meal, but it's not always easy to accomplish with small children: that's what baby sitters or nannies or au pairs are for. The resort had childcare available but at earlier times.
Frankly, it's best to have a vacation closer to home when very young children are involved. Just because anyone is "on holiday" doesn't mean that safety issues can be ignored. Both the parents are doctors so they could have arranged for some type of baby sitter, perhaps an au pair or nanny to help care for their children and to be on the "entertainment committee."

Please be on the lookout for little Madeleine. Many newspapers and websites are referring to her as "Maddie" or "Maddy" but she is used to being called Madeleine.
