Ideas that they drug their kids, I think there is no real evidence for that, so that's something for people to look into, but I know many people [at the very LEAST] criticize them for leaving their children unprotected, so far away and alone, with the fucking doors unlocked in places. It's just crazy. I'm not sure if that counts as neglect in some description, and they've obviously paid for their mistakes, but fucking hell fire, it's so stupid.
I wouldn't call it criminal. That's the same kind of reasoning people use to victim-blame rape victims. No parent leaves their kids alone in a hotel room thinking they might be kidnapped.
Stupid? Yes. Negligent? Sure. Neglect? Possibly, given how things turned out. Criminal? Not at all. It's not the fault of the McCann's that someone abducted their kid.
