But in addition to the responsibilities of the parents, even for people as 'important' as the Camerons with much on their minds, there is the fact that we are paying for them to have security... round the clock, wherever they are.<br /><br />What were the security people doing? What if the kid had been abducted by the Provos or Al Qa'eda and they didn't notice till later?<br /><br />I'm sure Cameron at one stage gave us a lecture on parenting, didn't he?<br /><br />On a lighter note, I guess. Cameron is well known for U-turns (a sign of strength), so it won't have been too difficult for him to turn the car round when he arrived at his country estate, and head back to the boozer, the way he came!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-27261816426687555832012-06-11T16:35:11.955+01:002012-06-11T16:35:11.955+01:00Over large stretches of the planet the word 'k...Over large stretches of the planet the word 'kidnap' would be the first word to be uttered when a head of state's child went missing.<br /><br />What were the security services playing at - unbelievable.Keith Browningnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-78200221061169158702012-06-11T14:11:04.189+01:002012-06-11T14:11:04.189+01:00I have to say, I agree.

It is a big deal. <br /><br />I remember being Nancy's age and going shopping with my mum and stopping to look at something and mum being too absorbed in the shopping too notice, continued on and moved to another aisle and be being incredibly anxious about whether she would leave without me, thankfully I always found my mum before that happened.<br /><br />I don't know if by 8, I'd become more used to it and a bit more grown up.Nichttp://priggy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-58160395777552858462012-06-11T11:11:38.590+01:002012-06-11T11:11:38.590+01:00That's a bit different - so did I.

But we knew what te plan was, we knew where we had to go & it was all familiar.<br /><br />Nancy would have expected her parents to be waiting for her & found they weren't. That's a lot to deal with when you're 8. I wouldn't put Anna through it now. <br /><br />I wouldn't put Bob through it either to be honest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988201531739344840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-83977439442027870542012-06-11T11:04:26.120+01:002012-06-11T11:04:26.120+01:00"What if she'd gone outside on her own to..."What if she'd gone outside on her own to look for her parents and been knocked down by a car?"<br /><br />Anything is possible - but she is 8 and you usually have a reasonable bit of road sense at that age. <br /><br />I was walking home on my own from school when I was that age - how is that different?Hywelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094171587140185827noreply@blogger.com
