They were on vacation and thought they were in a safe environment. They likely didn't know where to find a baby sitter, and didn't think it necessary. Yes, in retrospect it was a horrible error that they have to remember for the rest of their lives. They didn't know that someone had been watching them and must have discovered their routine. A pedophile saw the opportunity, and grabbed the child after entering by a window. The suspect, who is now in prison on other charges, reportedly told a friend that he had captured something small at the time of the disappearance.
