But the witness, Brian Barron, also said under defence questioning that it would have been appropriate to keep child guests on the estate if their parents weren't present and that they probably would not let any children leave if they were unsupervised.

He said his superiors in Guadalupe suggested he not work there any longer because of the criminal investigation.
