"That is one of the Social work problems, find people guilty by their lights, and not by the law of this land." quoted at 6.05

The hearing is NOT about detirmining the guilt or innocence of the parents, that will be heard in a seperate court. The Local Authority has an absolute duty in law to consider the welfare of children in instances of neglect or serious allegations of harm to that child or other children in the same household.

I have no idea whether this family has caused harm to Madelaine or not but I can only deduce from their negligent actions, during that tragic holiday, that they are not the "resposible" parents you seem to have decided at the beginning of this thread and which "judgement" you continue to defend.
