I agreee, it was a very stupid thing to do, but I suspect it's not so uncommon as we might like to think - especially amongst intelligent parents who think they have weighed up, and are on top of, the risks, as the McCanns apparently thought at the time.
I think some amount of their Press 'courting' can probably be attributed to feelings of guilt, and trying to make up for what in hindsight was obviously a critical error of judgement.
But I don't think an error of judgement, even if repeated, makes you a 'bad' parent, requiring the serious attention of Social Services. There are plenty more deserving cases in this country where councils should be directing their limited budgets.
