I just read this and tend to agree with some of the points Katie Hopkins has raised.
Would never leave my child and go out to dinner, to do it in a foreign country is just not something I could imagine doing.

Definitely very valid points.
And if we stop thinking about the McCann parents the way we imagine them to be, like our good selves, then we begin to realize that perhaps they WERE different.
Perhaps the parents were selfish and cared more about their entertainment in their lives and perhaps the children were considered second to the parents lives, inconvenient and a nuisance even.
We only see a small glimpse of the parents through media, and it's possible they are putting their best foot forward when eyes are on them.
Lets not forget they may be the best parents, totally innocent and perhaps it was the first time the children had been left alone and Maddie was abducted, BUT one cannot forget the fact that such young'uns were left alone. There lies the cause and problem.
Seems to be the bottom line doesn't it. There is a fantastic show I have been watching on Foxtel based on the story, absolutely brilliant.

It is very vaguely based on it, that aside it is very good watching.

If I turned my back and my child drowned I would be to blame, even though it would not be intentional. The fact of the matter is that it would not have happened if the child was not left alone, I think that is the point of the article, not that the parents are bad. We all make mistakes and accidents do happen.
