Who's said that?

Pointing out they were at major fault for leaving their children even after they were aware Madeleine was scared and left along to cry herself to sleep and couldn't find them doesn't mean I want them to spend the rest of their lives suffering.

It was a piece of information most of us only found out during the crime watch reconstruction and when most members bring it up it's in response to the "it could happen to anyone" excuse.

There is no excuse, they left their children along, with doors unlocked and goodness knows how many obvious dodgy signs so they could go and have a night wining and dining.

I feel terribly sorry for them and I hope they do get closure one way or the other so they can move forward with their lives, I wouldn't wish this kind of torment on my worst enemy but the actual mistakes they made were not accidental IMO, it was neglectful.
