The parents were in the wrong. I know it, anyone with half a working brain-cell knows it and, guess what, the McCann's will know it too - far better than any of us.

They must be suffering not only the torture of losing their child, but the even worse torture of knowing their actions, if not the cause, were a major contributing factor to her disappearance.

There's no need for us to beat them up, my guess is that they beat themselves up constantly. And, at some point in time, they will be taken to task by the legal system.

They're in hell already. Let's leave them to their personal misery, and pray for that little girl. I will.
