[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is comparable to leaving kids home alone. [b]The difference is that in a hotel, there are many people around who know you're there with kids. And when they see you at the bar they know for sure the kids are alone in the room.[/b] Creeps and predators know how to take advantage of these things. I don't think traffickers are trolling hotels to kidnap kids. But we do know that sometimes bad people do bad things.

Have the kid use the inside safety lock so A key wouldn't work. A very aware and mature 13 year old would be fine, if she understands she's to call you even if an employee knocks on the door. [/quote]

The first statement is not true in a large hotel, please.  And the kids could be upstairs with a sitter, or spending the night at a friend's house, or... OR.... maybe the random person who checked you in DOES remember your exact face and DOES remember you had a 12 year old with you yesterday WHO ISN'T WITH YOU NOW, and thinks OMIGOD THAT 12 YEAR OLD MIGHT BE UP THERE WATCHING A MOVIE ALONE!  But now, you have to go a step further and that person who noticed all of that also has to be someone who wants to kidnap and sex traffic a 12 year old.  So. [/quote]
