Sorry, I haven't got time to translate this article. An 18 month-old girl fell from the balcony of a seventh floor flat, bounced off the canopy of a cafe below and was caught by a passer-by. The child's three-year-old sister was also playing on the balcony.

The parents have been remanded in custody. They had left the two children alone while they went for a walk. A child endangerment investigation has been opened.

Would the McCanns have claimed the passer by had abducted the child?

He had probably been watching that balcony for days and would have got away with it if there hadn't been so many witnesses.

Just found this. . .

Even more amazing, the passer-by happened to be a doctor! I also noticed these parents expected their three year old daughter to act as baby sitter to her little brother while they were out, no doubt 'dining a few yards away. And so glad to hear they were immediately taken into custody. I am quite interested in what happens next.

immediately taken into custody.

Very different to PDL!
