shepherdlass BS: Child neglect and the law (629* d) RE: BS: Child neglect and the law 19 May 07

I can't imagine what they're going through and what self-recriminations they face every day.   But I do suspect that the gloves would have been off if a similar incident had occurred on a council estate with the parents 100-200 yards away in the local working men's club.

This is not to blame the McCanns - I'm sure they were behaving according to the 'norm' of the holiday centre where they were staying, and they just happened to be the unlucky ones. God knows, it's a horrible price to pay. I just wonder at the hypocrisy of some parts of the media who seem to bay for the blood of working class mothers who leave the kids only long enough to nip round to the corner shop.
