[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think of the McCanns in this scenario. The chances of anything happening are slim but why risk it for a party? If it means that much to you to attend hire a babysitter for a couple if hours.[/quote]

Totally different. McCanns were at a resort with lots of unknown people milling about, didn't have a monitor, and were a good ways away from the room. Not at all the same thing as leaving your baby in your locked house in a trusted neighborhood where you know your neighbors and going next door with a monitor. [/quote]

It's not that different to the extent that the McCanns could see their room from where they were hanging out and it was 30 feet away.  Evem at such close proximity someone managed to take their four year old and she has never been seen or heard from since.  Sure, you'd like to think that nothing like this ever happens in YOUR home in YOUR nieghborhood.  But what about Elizabeth Smart or Polly Klaus? These girls were taken from their bedrooms while their parents were home!

Unless you're staring at the monitor for every second you're at the party then you provide an opportunity for someone to take advantage.  You want to risk that for a party?  Seems sort of desperate to me.  Get a babysitter and go out on the town.  [/quote]
