No disagreement from me, I did actually point this out in several of the posts above.
People seem to struggle with the premise of innocent until proven. Especially if it doesn't fit their amateur investigations and witch hunt. However that is not the case, at least at present. They are only guilty of leaving the child alone as it stands. In which case their punishment is not out of keeping with the law regardless of how much money they have or where they sit in society.
I'd probably fall on the side of them being parents who've paid a heavy price for a grave error of judgement and selfishness. However I'm open minded because the evidence is clearly not up to scratch to support any of the assertions being made. One thing I do know however is those on the witch hunt, sending death threats and hounding them do deserve punishment because there is very clear evidence they have done wrong. Complete morons but then that is the case a lot with the general public. They think they know better than they do, often without even arsing themselves to become educated on a topic.
