Girl Kidnapped in San Diego

From http://www.msnbc.com/news/699959.asp -

7 year old Danielle Van Dam was abducted from her home Friday night. Her parents didn't notice until 9:30 AM Saturday.

That's normal, I guess. Besides the fact that most kids <b>don't</b> get kidnapped. Parents let their kids sleep in, go to wake them up at 9:30... no fault in that.

Here's the part that gets me:

"At 1:30 a.m., Damon walked the family’s dog and noticed a breech in their home security system, though he did not check on the children."

How does that happen? What, he's just kinda walking the dog, notices that the house has been "breeched", says "Oh. That's funny" and then goes back to bed? I don't have kids, but I tell you what - the first thing I'd be doing is making sure my family was alright, getting them all to lock themselves in a bedroom or bathroom or something, and then taking Mr. Glock to see if someone was indeed in the house. I can't believe that <b>idiot</b> didn't check to make sure the children were alright. Who knows - he might have caught the kidnapper in the act and been able to stop them (or at least give some identifying details to the police). Sadly, there's probably very little chance she'll come home alive. Not to say that this is the father's fault, but if you're <b>that</b> absentminded, I'm not sure you should be allowed to have children.
