That is unpopular at the moment limey, but I'm more or less with you.

Her parents don't disgust me - they made a poor judgement that they are paying for in full. No different than the parent who thinks they can get away with a short trip holding a child on their lap in a friend's car because they can't be bothered to transfer the carseat - they don't deserve their child to go through the windscreen when the car is rear-ended, but are fully responsible when they do.

What distresses me is the time and money and coverage being spent on one missing child of educated middle class parents. The child is missing due to their poor judgement. I'd rather see the same spent on the innocent victims of abuse, or raising the profile of those who suffer in care and getting children into secure, loving adoptive homes. Children who were born into families that never had a chance and never will have a chance unless they are "rescued".
