Subscribe to RSSPrime Minister David Cameron admitted that he, his wife and their entourage left their 8-year-old daughter in a pub after a recent Sunday lunch and didn't realize it until they arrived back at the government headquarters. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
LONDON -- British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife left their eight-year-old daughter in a countryside pub by mistake after lunch on Sunday, according to reports.
Cameron rushed back minutes later to pick her up, the tabloid Sun newspaper reported.
Nancy had gone to the bathroom when rides were being organized to return home, the newspaper said.
The prime minister's office said Cameron and his wife Samantha were "distraught" when they realized Nancy wasn't with them, according to the BBC.
Former top aide to British PM charged in perjury case
The Camerons had been having Sunday lunch with two other families near the prime minister's country home, according to reports. The prime minister went home in one car thinking that Nancy was with his wife and two other children in a second car, the Sun reported.
Britain's PM eats humble pie over snack tax
The child, who was looked after by staff at the 16th-century pub after her parents had left, was separated from her family for 15 minutes, the Sun reported.
The Sun quoted a pub "insider" as saying: "You'd have thought someone would have done a headcount or something."
From May 2010: How tragedy transformed UK's Cameron
The incident, which was widely reported in the British media, could prove especially embarrassing for the Conservative leader as it came just a day before the government relaunched a so-called troubled families program. The government says 120,000 troubled families are at the root of high amounts of crime and social disorder throughout the country.

in the US, she wouldve been safely with the secret service... however, it wouldnt have happened anyway. who guards the PM's family in the UK? thankfully she wasnt kidnapped by islamic extremists.
RRROOOFFFLLL Islamic Extremists? Mate seriously?
good things she wasn't kidnapped either way - 'but it could only be a Muslim surely?'
sense the sarcasm...
Pub buzz, drunken Limeys.......Duh.
Yet another misleading sensational headline from MSNBC. At this point, they are giving the National Enquirer a run for their money.
And yet Cassandra, you can't stop looking in. Admit it, you can't wait to slam MSNBC. Pretty cheeky...
Guilty as charged, Bluelake. I could not resist looking in to see why he had left his daughter in the pub. Well, the National Enquirer is not going out of business...unlike other publications with much more accurate (and boring) headlines.
Thinking about it further, BL...the real problem comes when those misleading headlines seem to show a political slant. For instance, today you can read about "1 dead, dozens wounded in Nigeria church attack." Need I tell you who did it? Sure enough, the story starts, "Islamic militants..." No, guys: People who blow up churches are called "terrorists." I might add that I am not the only one who has noted this.
Now we see why you have such a slanted view on the news. Only a person with a grudge would even compare this story to the national enquirer then we see the pro islamic statement so we move on.
Just shows that anyone can make a mistake like this. I'm glad that the girl was OK!
If Nancy had gone to the bathroom when rides were being organized, I wouldn't want her in the car either.
I agree JK...anyone can make a mistake
I was left behind at a service station in the dead of night on a major highway when I was 8
good this girl was left in an English pub...
....PM...or no PM....English pub keepers treat all people very well indeed !
SLOW NEWS DAY! Seriously MSNBC ---front page? Hasn't this happened in most families? My parents left my brother one time at a restaurant--- exact same story....he had a great time for the 20 minutes helping the waitresses. Most people in this world are good, contrary to what the news would have you believe, and most people watch out for each other and little kids. Silly "news" story.
There is actually a pub closer to the residence - the Russell Arms - but a sign on the wall discourages some: "No thieves, fakirs, rogues, tinkers or skulking loafers".
she would have been safely with the Secret Service? You mean when they wouldn't be out trolling for hookers, that is?
Kallie
No this has not happened in most families. Most families that I know are responsible. I have only read about these things happening and NOT to most families And it is news worthy because it is the family of the PM of England, by the way some asked where were his guards, you would think that they would have some. And your brother being left behind you must mean that YOUR family most that you are talking about. And you would think that the PM being who he is with all the responsibility would be more attentive. Assumption is the mother of all Fu+k ups and he did just that,
Alcohol can ruin lives and eat brain cells.
British Pubs, are very friendly, all she had to do was have a pint of half/half; while waiting to be picked up by her parents, no Muslims in the pubs, alcohol you know, so they are safe places.
Rock me Brittany sees evil and danger everywhere from everyone (only after getting slammed for pointing at Muslims). So sad.
Serioudly, Night Hawk? Things like this happen all the time by accident. It was a mistake, not an indictment of character. Gosh, it must be wonderful to be so perfect.
If this had happened in the United States and it was a poor to middle class family then you can bet the farm that there would have been some type of criminal charges pressed on either the mother/father or both! Things like this are not considered mistakes here in the good ol USA unless you are either wealthy, politically connected thru the DA's office/police or local/state government at which point you could pretty much eat your child without so much as a fine or scolding! Prison, the first/only answer for anything and everything that anyone who is in the class of citizens that the laws apply to!
We have all made mistakes and none are perfect, but some of us have never forgotten our kids at anytime nor anywhere. It all comes down to if you focus more on your kids or yourself. It really does. If you have children, you need to remember every second of the day that they depend and TRUST in you. Stop screwing that up and betraying their trust. I may seem harsh, but for regular folks like me, this is how your children can get kidnapped, killed, hurt, etc.
I totally agree sumatymrolls. Like the mom who left the kid in the car seat on top of the car recently. An accident (and yeah, it was negligent, of course) but she's facing charges and possibly losing the kid. Or the outraged comments I saw about the parents that left the kid for several hours at Chuckie Cheese's because of this same scenario. One thought the other took care of it.
But... when you're rich and powerful it's ok to make those mistakes and no one should be critical? Pfft whatever. Not the worst parenting in the world, but it was negligent. I also read recently about a parent who thought they already dropped their kid off at daycare, but instead the kid was asleep in his car seat and then cooked to death in the car. Started with innocent negligence...
I would like to point out that neither my brother or myself were ever forgotten. I have never forgotten any children in my charge. No one in my extended family has been forgotten. So, I don't think this is something everyone does. Although... one year they did forget my birthday cake. Maybe my parents were unfit afterall.
I'm sorry. Call me crazy but there is a HUGE difference between this case and leaving a baby in a car seat on top of the car and then driving off so the baby flies off the roof. And that's not even getting into the fact that the mother admitted to being high at the time and that she was looking for alcohol. She deserves to have charges pressed against her. If you can't see that then...wow.
This man was having a meal with his family and friends and made a boneheaded mistake. There are no indications that he was drunk, high or in any other way unfit to care for his child. It was a mistake that parents make every day. Get a grip.
Oh please...make a big deal out of nothing. The "pub" in question was more like a local restaurant. And it was in the countryside. No doubt family owned, so the girl was in no danger. The people running the pub, probably sat her down and gave her an orange soda while she watched the tele for 15 minutes. I live in a rural place, if, somehow I left my 10 year old daughter at the local pizza place for 15 minutes on accident, she'd be just fine. The family that runs the restaurant would probably call me and ask me if I "forgot something" and laugh about it. It isn't that big of a deal. Anyone who has raised a couple of kids has had these kinds of adventures.
I have sympathy for him. We were in Wales with friends visiting a country restaurant and accidentally left our 4 yr old (5 kids between the families, we though he was with them). The place was about 20 minutes from where we were going and we were so lucky they brought him outside just as we were pulling out. I'm glad it happened over there and not here.
She giving lap dances for 20 quid per dance upon their return, but most of it fell out of her Underoos as the Prime Minister whisked her out of the pub. Prince Andrew was shocked and dismayed when she was pulled off his lap knocking his ale onto his Kates new dress.
Cassandra - You may be surprised, but MSNBC is actually using the National Enquirer as a source! I read an article the other day in which they were talking about one of the Happy Days stars, Erin Moran, and "how bad off she is" where they actually stated they read their info in the National Enquirer. So, yeah, not at all surprised MSNBC is as bad as that anymore. It's sad really. I mean, this girl was left for 15 min each parent thought she was with the other in their car (most political families won't travel all in one vehicle). It was an honest mistake. It's no excuse, but it's something that's possible (obviously) and at least she wasn't "unnoticed" for 15 hours!
"Alcohol can ruin lives and eat brain cells."
Lee, I'll drink to that.
They brought charges against a woman here, in Cincinnati, for accidentally leaving her 3 year old at a WalMart. She was with members of her family and thought she had gone home with them. It was an honest mistake, but she was still prosecuted (persecuted).
Ok, I'll call you crazy, PH. My point was (and it totally went over your head of course, when I said that that mother was negligent) that hers was a mistake as well. She didn't intentionally do it, it was a mistake. BTW- From what I read, she admitted to pot, but the alcohol was related to her bitching out the baby daddy for getting a DUI.
Now, can you point out where it was investigated that this PM was in fact sober? You assert that he wasn't under the influence (with authority even) however, I'm sure no one even bothered with any of that. I mean, it was a pub after all. And why? Because of who he is. If it had been someone else, the cops would have been called and such. The rich and powerful get to make mistakes, regular folks don't.
I seriously don't know what kind of people you know to say that this is a mistake made every day by parents. What a silly comment.
You are unbelievable. Getting high and leaving your baby on the roof of a car is not a mistake - it's drug induced child endangerment.
I never said that the prime minister didn't have a drink - I said there were no indications that he was drunk which is true because it hasn't been reported. A pub in England is not like an American bar. It's a restaurant that serves alcohol, much like any restaurant in the U.S. (even Chucky Cheese!) so your comment that "it was a pub after all" is pretty ignorant.
A lot of people on this thread have commented on their experiences losing track of their child. If you think he should be in legal trouble, then naturally those people on this thread should be as well. Let's round them all up, shall we!
But, according to your logic, let's give the parenting break to the teenager who gets high while taking care of her 7 week year old infant and then leaves the baby on the car. I mean, hey, it's not like she wasn't drinking! It was just a mistake! That's so logical!
And your post is still willfully ignorant PH. We really don't need to hash it out, because it appears you still cannot read and comprehend. I do enjoy your putting words in others mouths... quite like putting your foot in yours. Good luck with that.
Although, I will agree with one thing. Yes, if one parent is to be held responsible for their child's wellbeing and whereabouts, all should. That's my logic.
Yeah, ok. Well, the minute you said the mother who smoked pot and went to drive her infant around just "made a mistake" and she "didn't intentionally do it" you lost all credibility. If that wasn't what you meant then the problem is in your writing, not my reading comprehension.
Moving on, now.
Leave it to the media to make a big something out of nothing. They didnt "forget" her, she was in the bathroom and they each thought the other had her. I am guessing they count on their staff to help keep things in order, considering the chaos that usually accompanies political figures. This is such a non story.
i completely disagree with you. it's the prime minister. you have no idea what kind of crazies could be following them. leaving your kid at a pub gives someone just enough time to grab her. maybe its no big deal if it were your kids, because i hardly doubt youre as important as the PM.
Yeah, because nobody makes mistakes "rockmebritney."
Give me a break. This is media sensationalism at its finest.
Exactly. This has much to do about nothing although it doesn't suprise me that conservatives left their child behind.
A weekend lunch in a country pub with two other couples doesn't sound like the kind of chaotic situation that would make someone need to rely on staff to sort things out. And yes, they did forget her. Whether they each thought their daughter was with the other one, fact remains that the girl was not there while they were sorting out the ride home situation, so she wasn't even factored in. As the pub regular said, you'd think they would have done a head count.
With the recent snack tax debacle, a budget that cut taxes on the wealthy but screwed the elderly, a party treasurer who's selling access to the PM in return for donations, coziness with Murdoch and media, lack of will to investigate media law-breaking, and hiring people later busted on criminal charges, maybe they should have let little Nancy return to Downing St and left Mr. Cameron in the pub.
What was he thinking taking his daughter to the pub with him? Perhaps the TV screen there is bigger than the one he has at home at Downing Street. His predicament started when he realized that he was a day too early for the England game (European Football Championship), he left in disgust leaving her behind.
wtw of KC - Pubs in the UK are traditionally family friendly, especially for a Sunday roast. I don't know the PM's local but I am familiar with several that have play equipment outside, games and toys inside to keep younger children entertained while adults relax and catch up on neighborhood news.
It's almost like the plot of Home Alone. Maybe Hollywood will come out with a sequel called Pub Alone? car56, your comment seriously had me howling. For the slow people, he/she was alluding to Bushes No Child Left Behind debacle.
True, Ranman, everyone screws up once in a while. Unfortunately, if this incident had occurred in the U.S., Children and Youth Services would be paying a visit to the family. In some states, they might even temporarily take the children away. They're good at doing that. At least for the kids' sake, there wasn't domestic violence involved. Then C&YS would just ignore it until someone died.
She did not leave with them so they forgot her.
Yeah, I'm sorry whether you think this is "media sensationalism" or not. How can anyone-- that is ANYONE, under any circumstances whatsoever, possibly make such an irresponsible mistake like this? Makes you wonder what sorts of things are getting past him in his professional life.
wtw of KC, let's not hate on the pub(lic house). I vistied friends in the UK several years ago, and we had a lovely Easter dinner in their local pub. (It was my birthday as well, so I got a pound in a champagne cork, love the Brits!)
British pubs aren't like American bars. And good grief, this kind of thing happens. Get over it.
Mary and Joseph did the same thing with the boy Jesus, only it was a day before they realized he wasn't with them.
I accidentally left my wife in Las Vegas.
She found her way home, though.
Ippster ~ Babs ~~ I do agree with both your posts. It's very easy for people to point and judge, but under these particular circumstances, I think this is a mistake that can easily be made by any parent.
It's not really that it was a pub, and yes I have been in plenty of British pubs. Its that his 8 year old was left behind, that's the thing that blows my mind. Yes, that sort of thing happens all the time too, and its always terrible. Not the sort of thing you want an elected official of any level doing.
Media creating news...it was just a mistake. Same thing happened with Jesus when he was a child. When they left the temple, Joseph thought Mary had Jesus and Mary though Joseph had Jesus.
While this was a clear screw up and they did forget her it, certainly wasn't intentional. Sometimes mistakes happen and this could've gone either way (good or bad), but most likely would've been good considering where they were. Based on how this was explained it is reasonable to see how this happened.
I agree though that given who he is they could've been a little more careful and done a count or something to be sure. And like others said, people here in America think pub and assume a bar, but that is a misconception and you shouldn't assume until you know (I'm guessing the journalism award winning author at MSNBC clearly understood this though). That term is used broadly and in this case it was more like a bar and grill than a full bar that only serves alcoholic drinks, must be 21 to enter ect.
I will also agree that this does seem to be more media hype and sensatioanlism than anything, but that is typical these days.
It is time
People can be such idiots... Your child should be the most important thing in your world if you have one no matter who you are. If he had kept his head out of the mug a bit this might not have happened.
"This has much to do about nothing although it doesn't suprise me that conservatives left their child behind."
Now there's some idiocy for you... it's no big deal, but just enough of a big deal to take a shot at conservatives. Damn, I lose faith in humanity daily.
I think this is less about the fact that they forgot her (because the situation is understandable) and more about the fact that it could have been a potential tragedy on a wider scale than most child abductions. Could you imagine if someone had taken her and now the PM's daughter is being ransomed off? I don't know about England but many Western countries have policies of not giving into criminal demands so it would be a question about whether he gives in and for clearly personal reasons goes against policy (which they wouldn't do in other cases), or does he make an example of the situation to show that their policies are strong.
He's not a bad parent or irresponsible but I do think that had this gone another way ppl wouldn't be complaining so much about it being "Headline news" (which I think is ridiculous bc its the internet not a newspaper...if you don't see something you want to read at the top scroll down...if not there, then try another website)
Sad thing is: Here in Arizona, the parents would have immediately been arrested and the child given to Child Protective Services. Then the parents would have had charges filed against them for abandoning the child, drinking while the child was around, and who knows what else! Instead of taking the time to realize that everyone makes a mistake... Whether you are a head of state, or just a regular person.
kumar - u gotta bring in jesus on this...wow...lol
Oh tell the truth, she is British, she just wanted another brew
When my sister was that age, we accidently left her in a restaurant on a family trip. It took us 1/2 an hour to realize she was not with us because she had spent the trip hiding. So when we other kids said she wasn't with us, our parents thought we were playing. She also had gone into the bathroom and came out to find us all gone. We went back to get her immediately. Needless to say, she NEVER got over it. Eventually it came out that she had deliberately hidden, it was her way of getting attention. Unfortunately, she was testing us to see if anyone really cared, but given how wretchedly she had been behaving all through the trip, I guess she found that we didn't. Or at least the little break from her brattiness was too pleasing to question. She never hid like that again, but is a brat to this day........there's always two sides to the story.
hysterical all the peeps defending this. had it been mitt, you know you'd all be on this like oprah on a baked ham.
whenever I leave someplace, I do a quick check... key's, wallet, offspring... the main concern here is did he leave her to pick up the tab?
Wow! The PM's human, like MOST of us. Within minutes he was back to find her and most likely felt panicked and foolish, like MOST of us would. I like him better. My mother left me (with a crazy mean dad) and she didn't come back. The PM looks like a dad worth having, actually.
Just sayin'...
This is not news.
What a gossip hungry headline ...
Why not just say "UK PM drunk in the Pub stumbles out leaving 8 yr old daughter behind"
What crap .................
Metaphorically Appropriate
I think this is a metaphor of what conservatives around the world are doing to children: Leaving them behind.
Around the world, bean counters and profiteers are passing money to legislators to reduce social programs, especially those that benefit children.
Health care for children, nutritional support programs, education and protective services are all being cut by conservatives... leaving them behind.
Whenever governments are directed by money interests, legislation will benefit the wealthy and ignore the needs of the people.
Conservatives: Stop leaving our children behind!
This really isn't a big deal in a way, but considering that the Olympics will be happening soon, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the kids. Just my opinion. There may be some crazy people coming to town that maybe use something like this for leverage.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! LOL
To funny, no harm done! I walked off once thinking my son was with his mother shopping. 15 minutes later I found him sitting happily flirting with the bartender, he was 5. We are all human beings and as such prone to fault. Just because we live in the public eye doesn't mean we are fault proof.
We almost drove off without one of our kids at a gas station, in the middle of the night, driving across the country...never saw him get out of the car, we thought he was asleep, and he got out to use restroom. We were driving a big van, 4 little children, 2 dobermans....lol...thankfully we decided to check out the sleeping masses....one was missing!
If there is anything unusual about the story, it is that it would seem that no one on the msnbc staff has kids, and if any do, has never had this happen to their family.
I still remember when I was maybe 5 years old and got lost in a store. I was just a couple of aisles away from my mom, but it scared me enough that I didn't wander off again! Luckily, I haven't had any excitement like this with my two yet (knock on wood).
They figured it out quickly and rushed back to get her. People need to get over it. And I bet they do a lot more head checks now.
I once got separated from my Mother, my Grandparents, and my 3 siblings while shopping in a nearby city.
I actually found THEM - as I was circling the block on the back of a cop's Harley-Davidson three-wheeler.
Do ya think my brothers were JEALOUS?!
Funny. My husband and I went to church in two separate cars one day and inadvertently left the youngest of our three children. A church member who lives next door to the church kept her until we got home and realized that neither of us had her and rushed back. It was a little scary but luckily the worst thing was that church members teased us about it. However, for a prime minister's family, I think it is a little more problemnatic.
My mom left me at the store by accident when I was 8. My sister's friend was also there shopping with her mom. My sister left with them and my mom thought I did too. I just walked home ! No harm no foul. It happens . Here in the US today , my mom would be arrested for child endangerment !We go way over-board with not giving some parents a break ! It isn't easy raising kids and working and trying to remember everything and everyone at the same time.
Agreed...I have been "lost" a few times as a kid, also. Then again, I think kids were a little more independant and resourseful back then, than kids are now.
120,000 troubled families? We have that many in Scottsdale.
I think it is more like 120,000 troubled governments causing all the wars and mayhem in the world.
"Nancy had went to the bathroom" - where is the editor?
"Nancy 'HAD WENT' to the bathroom".... Please... if you can't write correct grammar then find another job.
Why can't the English learn to speak?
If you were to bring your child to a bar, would you not be keeping a close eye on her?
Too concerned about the image presented in the photo op.
It was a "pub" aka "restaurant"...
It's okay, it's okay....he's british.
WHAT A MESSAGE THAT'S BEEN SENT OUT TO A '' WORLD '' LIKE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!! ; but now , who can we blame , but the prime minister '' first '' ?????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i sure hope their families continue to be safe and sound , after this breach of irresponsible carelessness. there is a world out there , that is looking for a chance to cause calamitous national attention , for whatever the sick reason !!!!!!!!!!! MR PRIME MINISTER , PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED, AND WELL KNOWN IN THIS HUGE MELTING POT. BEWARE , A WORLD IS WATCHING YOUR EVERY MOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Puh-lease! If the president had inadvertently left Sasha or Malia somewhere, you be going NUTS!
So, bettershape, you believe your comment is soooo important you had to state it twice? You don't even make sense!!!!!!
you high bro?
At least he remembered her and rushed back. We had the same thing happen at a Chucky Cheese here in Baltimore a few months ago. Those parents didn't know their youngest wasn't there until they saw it on the 11 PM news!
Don't they have an equivalent of the Secret Service? Fifteen minutes of the UK PMs kid being unguarded in public is more than a bit surprising. If they do have something like the Secret Service, perhaps the agent detaild to the PMs daughter migh be more comfortable behind a desk somewhere.
Seriously. I know ultimately that parents are responsible for keeping track of their children, but this is the Prime Minister for crying out loud. Isn't it the detective's jobs to keep track of the entire family at all times? Some should get fired over this. This was a major security breach.
The U.K. has managed to do without much of the security we have around our President, probably because they have stricter gun control. And it is a safer country; the homicide rate in the U.S. is 40 times higher than in the U.K. In addition, the U.K. population is 20% of the U.S. so it good economically not to be paying for unnecessary security.
"Remember, remember the fifth of November. . . . .
I remember having a fifth in November, but just barely.
The child, who was looked after by staff at the 16th-century pub after her parents had left, was separated from her family for 15 minutes,
Everyone jump on the hysteria bandwagon - 15 whole minutes separated from her family! - the child will be scarred for life, his political career will go in the toilet, laws will have to be formed to prevent this sort of tragedy from ever happening again, think of the horrible things that could have happened, let's dwell on those for a few days, write news articles that make the man sound like the worst father on the planet...oh, wait - already done.
This morning I am watching C-Span-and former PM Gordon Brown is testifying about Rupert and James Murdoch journalistic abuses.
When I read this headline, UK PM David Cameron Leaves 8-year-old Daughter in Pub, I immediately questioned whether this story is some kind of Murdochian type political retribution.
Why in the world is this a headline story? The child is unhurt. She was returned to her family about 15 mins later. The only harm done was the parents were politically embarrassed.
It is a hateful kind of journalism that uses an unfortunate incident with a child to publicly embarrass a politician.
This, in my opinion, is worse than awful journalism, it is just downright paltry journalism. What it does show is a Prime Minister very much at ease, having a private moment in 'Publican's place'.
That's better than Cool, & is much more of a story. It is unquestionably unique anywhere in the World today.
But the constipated journalist, perhaps having just taken some constipation relief type medicine, decided to write this then in the loo, as they like to call it in Britain.
But I think this reporting is still full of it. It stinks to high heaven.
Perhaps this is now a permanent condition of MSNBC.
Come now, we hear of gaffes of politicians on a regular basis. So why would the P.M. of a major country be exempt? If you do something embarrassing there will be people who can remind you of it; if you're a high profile person doing something embarrassing the tale will also be high profile. It goes with the territory.
Wow! That Guiness Stout will really set your mind free.
And it couldn't have been because each parent thought the child was with the other in their car? I've heard of that happening multiple times through out my life lol.
No wonder there is virtually NOTHING left of the British "empire."
What does that mean?
Everyone relax. If you are a parent and haven't "left" junior somewhere you haven't lived yet. It may just be, in a store, with a friend, etc. but it's very common especially if you have more than one in tow and a spouse who could have the stray. If he wasn't the PM of GB you wouldn't even hear about this.
This incident is being reported as happening yesterday. It happened two months ago.
just aother uncarring conservative, they don't even care about their own children
and you say you are "not a troll"...
ever been to an English pub?...they are fabulously warm family places
Stupid statement, not a troll...

Pass it my way when you're done with it, Tina! lol oh wait, !!!!!!!!!!!! ... there...
The big news here is that his daughter was perfectly safe, whereas if this had happened in the US to one of Obama's daughters, she'd have been in real danger in our country.
Why would have Obama's daughters been in real danger? Are you saying that there are some sick individuals in this country who would harm children because they don't like his policies. I don't want to think we live in a world like that. At least I hope not. The fact that you brought this up says alot. Seek help.
Maybe the promise of a pub-friendly government needs to be rethought...
Uhhh. Why?????? When the parents went back for her, she was safe and sound, being looked after by the staff of the pub. I think it's time for all govts. the be not only pub-friendly, but small business friendly.
mcaro - in Great Britain the governments are not only "pub-friendly", but the pubs are "family friendly". A "pub" is NOT like a "bar" in the U.S. Pubs are more comparable to a U.S. neighborhood cafe really. One of the safest places for even a child to be.
So what?
guess you ignore and neglect your children until it is time to parade them out in front of your professional peers too huh?? i hope they go menendez on you!
bobg
Slight overreaction, what?
