Rather worrying to learn that putting someone on a "watch list" which should prevent them from leaving the country, does not necessarily have that effect.  Problem is that the checks are not always carried out by the police or border authorities, but are often left to the airlines or ferry companies, who sometimes for whatever reason simply fail to ask for or inspect the necessary documents.  Particularly worrying in that one of the more important uses of the watch list is to try and stop underage girls being taken abroad for forced marriages.
