If they'd been on a lower "social level" I'm pretty sure the reaction to and consequences of such gross neglect and it's horrific outcome would have been far more severe.

If a chav couple went on holiday and left their kids in the hotel while they went out to drink alcopops and dance the night away, they would be slaughtered in the press. Absolutely slaughtered.

Two doctors? Did nothing wrong, just unlucky.

I do feel for them (if the story of them not knowing what happened to her is true... which I am far from convinced of) BUT I feel much worse for the poor girl who was utterly failed, on many levels.
