They were not honest from the outset and I don't believe they have been honest at any point to this day. I blame the parents without reservation, whether that be for abduction, an accident or murder. They remain responsible for the situation and I don't know why they haven't had to face the consequences in a court of law.

Yes exactly, they've never admitted that leaving them alone was wrong, I believe the most they have ever said was that they were sorry that they weren't there when it happened......but the whole point is that (if we're going with the abduction narrative) it wouldn't have happened if they were there
