Scary (But Whose Fault)

I was listening to "Thought for the Day" this morning. Not my favourite bit of radio I admit, but it was that or practice my lines for the 2nd degree. Anyway the speaker (Annie somebody?) was commenting on the mystery of Madelaine. And she said that her 4 year old doesn't like to be left alone since Madelaine went missing. And my thought. Well to be honest I thought "what on earth have you done to get a 4 year old that worried". The news really shouldn't be that big an issue for a 4 year old. For one to not even like being left in bed at night then somebody must have been piling it on a bit, because a 4 year old won't have learnt it from the TV.
