I am actually more reluctant to leave my 5-year-old asleep than awake. when she's awake, I know she's a responsible girl who won't be opening the doors, or turning on the gas burners, when mummy needs to pop out for a pint of milk. But when she's asleep, I won't go out unless I have somebody else in the house, simple as that. I can't imagine what the girl's parents are going through, and especially with people blaming them, but it was their judgement - and it proved wrong.
