British 'binge drink' parents in Portugal

Facts:

Three children were sheltered in the early hours of this Saturday in the Aboim Ascension shelter (for endangered and unprotected children) in Faro.

The children are already with their parents.

The Public Prosecutor issued a temporary order for the children to be returned to their parents, after these have slipped into alcoholic coma and being transported to the Health Services of Loulé, leaving the children alone in the room of the tourist resort.

The Irish couple aged 32 and 35, settled into a tourist resort in Vilamoura last Friday.

The children were left in the room while parents went out for dinner.

Children are a girl and two boys of one three and six years of age.

After dinner parents went to the bar of the hotel where they consumed alcoholic drinks.

They were so intoxicated that ended unconscious and had to be transported to the Health Services of Loulé.

The children were left at the guard the police (GNR).

The police was alerted by the resort management.

During the night a representative of the Social Services was able to relocate the children in the Aboim Ascenção shelter in Faro.

When the parents recovered from the alcoholic coma, they fled from the Health Services.

Meanwhile, the public prosecutor issued a temporary order to ensure that children were returned to their parents.

The judicial process will enter today in the Court of Family and Children of Faro, where an investigation will be conducted to determine liability.

The Prosecutor believes that it may have been an act of negligence by the couple by having consumed alcohol in the presence of their children.

A Portuguese prosecutor and judge are today considering whether to bring charges against the British couple accused of abandoning their three young children following a drinking session.

The incident occurred on the eve of the first anniversary of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, who went missing from her family's holiday flat in the Algarve while her parents dined nearby.
