Where the fuck was the mother when the child disappeared???
the parents should be punished as well...
Couldn't agree more! She'd have been so afraid and wanted her mother! Disgusting.
I read today that the family are paying the ultimate price and should have our sympathy. I think the child is paying the ultimate price for their stupidity!
If it was a single parent from a poor area there would be a child protection outcry! That little girl deserved better and I pray for her safe return.
Punish the parents? I think they're going through enough at the moment.
As you rightly pointed out though, and a point which myself and the good Doctor also highlighted, if the girls parents had been Wayne and Waynetta Slob ,unemployed, and on a package holiday to Torremolinos, we'd be witnessing a different media slant on the story.
Imagine if Wayne and Waynetta had been in a pub, the same distance away as the girl in question's parents were, with mum and dad checking up on them at the same time intervals. We'd be looking at exactly the same set of circumstances. But do you think we'd witnessing the same kind of reporting in the media? I doubt it.

Makes you think, eh? Or if it doesn't, it should.
