I'm presuming the reason that the police might have released the name is incase someone can turn round and say "I saw him in Bognor Regis about 5 mins before the 'incident'" would kind of remove him as a suspect, or if someone can say "he left the pub round the corner from the 'incident' 5 mins before it happened then it does make him a suspect (but only under suspicion for now)
I don't have children, yet. however, we'll most likely be here when we do. The road outside will be out of bounds purely for the fact it's a bit of a rat run (not too bad and low speed, but lots of parked cars and trucks coming up and down. Go out the back of the house through the back alley and there's a quiet street surrounding a school complete with playing field where local kids seem to go to play. At 5 I'd probably be across there sat in a corner of the field reading a book or magazine if not playing with.
If we went to the park, up to about senior school age I'd still go as it's one of the main roads in the area that we have to cross, again, I'd take a book / magazine and sit on a bench with a "i'll be here if you need me, see you in a bit"
thats what I think will be the case anyway.
When I was 5 I was allowed to play on the street, it was a quiet cul-de-sac and the kitchen window allows you to look up the road so mum could see any car that came down and knew each neighbour's car, they all came slowly up and down the road as they knew us and other children on the street would be playing out. we were allowed anywhere from our driveway to the bottom end of the street (the dead end) As we got older we were allowed up to the lamp-post, gradually further and further until we were allowed to the top, just before the road markings started for the junction, and again, when older allowed off the street with a time to be back by. (I was born in '84 and lived in-between two large villages if that helps with perspective)
Hope that she is recovered quickly.
