Not necessarily the McCann's fault but our society's that we have such double standards.

..I totally agree with this, I think the McCanns were completely wrong to leave their children alone in a holiday apartment while they went out, they were as wrong as anyone else would be regardless of who they were, as a parent I find it an astonishing thing to do with children so young...but I don't believe that their 'neglect' as parents assumes anything else sinister that they may have done...
