I agree with you. The other couples who they met up with had also left their children unattended. I guess the difference between them and the McCann's is, the McCann's are the ones who have to live with what they did for the rest of their lives.

It was a neglectful thing to do but we could also say that Jamie Bulgers mum was not properly watching her minor and allowed him to wander around outside the butchers whilst she had a natter.

Neither parent deserved what happened, one was careless, the others neglectful but persecuting someone who has not only lost their child but have absolutely no idea if she's alive or dead seams heartless to me.
