This is what made me mad when the case firt opened Karma. How could they leave young children on their own even if they were only a few hundred yards away? The guilt of this will surely rest with them.
I'm sure it will, and it does. I remember on C4 the amount of rows over this when it happened, people saying myself and a few others were bang out of order for not seeing past the circumstances. I just couldn't comprehend how a mother, let alone a mother and a father, thought it was perfectly ok to leave their young child and baby twins alone in a hotel room while they were knocking back the vino at a restaurant with friends. In a foreign country as well? There are people out there who miscarry or can't have children and to hear of something like this is a piss take.
Seeing Kate and Gerry McCann on the tele leaves me cold. The only people I feel any sympathy for is Maddy and her siblings, tbh.
