I don't blame them at all, they made one mistake and will pay for it for the rest of their lives. I feel very very sorry for them.
I would suggest they made that same 'mistake' more than once hence whoever snatched her knew her parents would be out getting pished while their very young children were left home alone. If what they done isn't irresponsible then I don't know what is. I do feel sorry for them though.
It was irresponsible I agree but we've all done irresponsible things before and not paid such a high price.
I've been irresponsible my entire life. Never done me no harm. Well, apart from the fingers. And the divorce. And a couple of golden business opportunities missed. And the crippling debt. And using alcohol as a crutch. Apart from that, nowt.
