An entire generation of crappy parents. It's a wonder you folk are alive to worry about this.

Madeline McCann was not kidnapped. Her parents covered up an accidental death.

OP- I've done it to go to the next room. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving the floor though.

That was discredited years ago....

What? No. I thought everyone knew this wasn't a kidnapping. Cadaver dogs? There are other threads on this.

At what age is it reasonable to leave a child alone in a hotel room while you're downstairs?

No. So many shady characters have access to hotel rooms m

Has anyone left their sleeping 2 year old who never wakes up in a crib while their are sleeping in a hotel room alone to go downstairs in the same building while you had a video monitor on them at all times? It seems wrong but is it any different that being on another floor of a home?

100% wrong if you have to ask chances are you know that too

We used to do this when my daughter was 2-3 and a very good sleeper. I would use a monitor and we'd usually sit just outside the room in a lobby or garden. I would never have left her if she wasn't a good sleeper or if I couldn't use the monitor. Go ahead and judge but she was going to bed at 7 pm back in those days. We would get a sitter if we wanted to go to a dinner or such but not to just hang out in the hotel.

This sounds totally reasonable. A lot of parents are really overprotective.

Can you leave the kid home with a relative and go to the work function kid-free??? Why is a toddler tagging along in the first place?

My kids normally sleep like logs. But when we travel, all bets are off. I hear them wake and sort out where they are and then try to put themselves back to sleep, often.

What happened to Madeline McCann is a non-issue. The reason we bring it up is that it is so unusual.

What???

I think what PP means is: is there another case of a child being g abducted from a hotel? You can't make decisions based on exceedingly rare one off events, no matter how tragic.

To this day, no one has any idea what happened to this child.

It is probably the worst life regret the parents have sadly.

I wouldn't. Crap happens. What. Age is ok to leave a child? I don't know.
