To think the Camerons don't really deserve the bollocking they're receiving

[MilkNoSugarAndAShotofWhisky]

Never ever ever thought I'd be on his side btw! But it was a mistake ..they thought she was with each other, no harm came to his DD! She's absolutely fine and mistakes happen! There's enough "I'm a shit parent threads" on here to prove that its hardly unusual

And yes I know he's in charge of the country but bot sure it has much to do with it Tbh

Awaits flaming

I like your thread title, is it a rap?

No yanbu and I don't like him either.

I agree. It's no big deal, just a mistake and she was fine. I haven't done this myself but have done things of similar risk, such as losing one child for 10 mins in the zoo. Found him watching a penguin. Give them a break, his family life is private and its a pity someone leaked this to the papers.

Although who am I to say anything considering my inability to do a thread title properly

I totally agree, it's such an easy thing to do when travelling in two groups. Vague Sunday School memories tell me Jesus' parents did the same thing with him at about that age too!

Love the idea of a rap :o

Ha, you are very passionate about it ain't ya.

Agree

I couldn't agree with you more. I once forgot to put a child in the car and drove about 100yds before I realised.

It doesn't make me incapable of doing my job, what a fuss about nothing. Its a funny family anecdote for years to come that's all.

I hate him with a passion, although not as much as Thatcher.
However, these things happen.

A similar thing happened to us once, on a slightly smaller scale - easily done when there are different people travelling separately.

Knowing how easily it happened, I would never judge anyone else for doing it!

What was that again

YANBU.

YABU

The Cameron's I don't blame - it happens!

The lack of attention by their protection detail isn't so easy to forgive, though!
The Cameron's DCs must have a fairly high risk of kidnap, so should be fairly well monitored - the fact that none of the Police Officers were aware that she wasn't in the party is a bit of a worry!

Erm what's happened?

Yanbu. Can't abide David Cameron but goodnessmewhatafussaboutnothing!

No, as much as I dislike him, I suppose it happens. However, I DO get annnoyed at some comments (attached to story, not so far on MN) that it is the fault of his security personnel as they didn't notice she was missing. Surely it's the parent's job, not security's, to make sure they have all their children.

They are forgiveable even though I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire, the bodyguards are going to get a bollocking I would imagine.

cant tell you how much i dont gie a shit

this is not news

Apparently she went to the loo without telling anyone so I guess that was where the confusion came from.

There is another thread on this and from what I have read they are mostly all slating him.

YANBU. All the people criticising the Cameron family must be 100% perfect parents.

I don't think his children are accorded any security. This isn't America. Even princess Beatrice and eugenie don't have police protection. And remember when one of the Blair kids was pissed in the gutter, underage drinking. I don't think the police can be blamed.

Sounds like it was more Samantha than Dave anyway. He left first and kid was still there. Samantha then left with other kids and assumed Nancy was with Dave. It's not the end of the world, no harm done, etc. I've never left my kid anywhere but I can see it could happen.

I left a twin in a car seat in the council offices once.
Granted didn't get all the way out before dh said, have you forgotten something?

Agree, OP.

Maybe the people criticizing him aren't perfect parents. Maybe they are disabled or unemployed or poor or women and are using this opportunity to get the boot in. I can't blame them
