How is anyone criticising parents who leave 3 under 4s alone in an apartment being over judgemental.
Frankly I am sick and tired of people saying that its wrong to criticise the parents. I've seen people on the news saying that Maddie could have been snatched from a garden while her parents were 5 feet away. I'm sick and tired of peopel saying that you could leave your kid in the bath alone for 2 mins and they could end up drowned, and this could have happened to anyone.
The FACT is that Maddie and her brothers were left alone in an aprtment at night. The FACTs are that these kids are under 5 years old. The FACTs are that their parents were enjoying a meal some 50 or so yards away. What is not established as a FACT is how long they were checking up on their kids. Some reports say 30 mins, a police witness report, I think, says 1 hour.
The FACT is that Maddie got snatched from a house where she and her brothers were alone in.
And you know what, I don't care how insensitive I am in saying it, but Maddies parents do have to take a lot of blame for leaving their children in such a vunreble position.

Ok, then I will put it like this... She was not alone, she was snatched, and in my opinion her parents are to blame for her being alone. Insensitive, maybe, FACT, definately.
Does it serve them right? NO
