Although i wouldn't ever leave my children like that, i know some parents who drop their guard a little while on holiday.
Even Butlins used to run a "listening" service for parents who wanted to go to the clubhouse for a drink. That consisted of a member of staff who would walk past your chalet door every 15 mins and "listen" if your child or baby was crying. I thought this was crazy, as anything can happen within a space of 15 mins. Yet the couple we went away with thought it fine (to leave their very young children)and came out with us.
I keep seeing the same internet trolls on many different sites/platforms trotting out the same well worn "facts".
The main one seems to be the "no comment" to every question asked by the police. These trolls then say what parent who has just had their child go missing would answer like that.
Yet, if you read the full story line, they were fully answering every question. They were trying to assist the Police in any way to help get their child back. It was later when they realised the Police weren't interested in looking for the child, but more interested in accusing them of having something to do with it. They weren't allowed legal representation for 16 hours of questioning.
It went from the Police helping to the Police just wanting to pin the blame on somebody....anybody.
I too would be pissed off when you suddenly realise they think you might have done something. So instead of you being out there looking, you might end up in a cell powerless to do anything.
The bit that pisses me off the most is the people almost desperate for them to be guilty. What right thinking person would want that?
What would they get from it?
I find it disturbing that any parent could harm their child. Therefore i have maintained the hope that they were totally innocent.
Until something proves otherwise, they are innocent. Shit parents maybe, but boy are they paying for that now.
