Which demonstrates an act - or acts - of magnificent stupidity.
It certainly *does not* justify a charge of being 'cold, callous and calculating'. If - and I mean, *if* - it ever turns out that the McCanns actually killed their daughter themselves, then, once it's all examined and proven in court, there will be opportunity to wave the pitchforks about and bay for their blood. But at this stage, that kind of self-righteous indignation just makes me sick.

Would you be defending them Chris if the apartment had gone up in flames because they thought it was ok to leave those little kiddies on their own. For them to leave the kids in any sort of routine way was a no no you just don't do that these days i would love to have total faith in humanity but we all realistically know that **** lives and looks to do harm to our kids. I doubt very much if you have done anything like leaving your toddlers alone i know i havn't so yes people will judge and thats tough to be honest.

I'm not defending them. I am - as I have said, repeatedly, this afternoon - trying to establish what it is fair to accuse them of, and what is simply self-indulgent, self-righteous indignation on the part of some people who I am beginning to think get some kind of perverse sense of security and self-worth out of demonizing others.
