*dons flame-proof jacket*

I don't think there is a person here who's first thought wasn't to feel for the parents, but I think its a natural reaction after the initial OMG-reaction, to think, "how could this happen?" Its not judgemental, its curiousity.

The grandmother who lost her grandchild because of her negligence of owning a dangerous dog, and failing to secure it was shown absolutely no compassion by the public or the law. The fact she lost her grandchild did nothing to engender sympathy. The question of whether Madeleine lost her life due to her parents' own negligence will have to be answered eventually. As adults we all, Maddy's parents included, have to be held accountable for our mistakes, regardless of whether they are grieving or not.
