What does their history matter? They went for dinner every night and left the kids in the room alone, maybe it's true what i've thought about 'highly intelligent' people- they usually have no common sense. Or they've lived such a sheltered life they didn't think it would happen to them, that's a bad decision which caused poor parenting.

If you took your kid swimming without armbands- and it drowned because you weren't watching them would that be a bad decision or poor parenting? Not putting the armbands on is a bad decision, not watching them is poor parenting. Kind of similar if you ask me.
I think there would need to be lots more information - more than any of us have any right to know, in fact.

Parenting is something that goes on every minute of every day, waking and sleeping, from the moment your child is born - you have at least one child yourself IIRC, surely you know this.

How anyone can presume to pass judgement on all of that based on the miniscule amount we know of the McCanns is totally beyond me.

Really, what is it with some people here? There seems to be some kind of desperate *need* to judge other people.

Here, if you want to pour scorn on someone, use this pair as your punchbag, at least they've been found guilty by a jury of wilfully and repeatedly setting out to harm their child:
