Nobody said to leave the poor girl alone all night and to continue on with his special camping trip with his son. There is a huge difference in being cautious and being overprotective. What Rob did was being cautious. Not leaving the kids alone to go check the mail is overprotectiveness. So, you'll leave your child alone to go collect the laundy (which will take at least 2 minutes to go down, gather up and haul up, longer if you fold it) but you won't go right down to grab the mail, which might take a whole, what, 5 seconds?

I live in a very secluded area. I know my neighbors. There is one way in my property, and it's the way I am walking towards my mailbox. I'm sure I'd catch a kidnapper on the way down.
