We all have moments where our concentration has lapsed. I've done it too and it almost ended in tragedy.
If it had, I've no doubt society would be pointing the finger. But no more than I would be pointing the finger at myself. And I would have had to live with that for the rest of my life.
Parents are human. Since when do we have to be **** perfect?

Long may you continue to be the perfect all-seeing all-knowing parent.
I'm just human. And they're the most important thing in my life too.

tonyd said:Where does it say that because you're just human bad things are going to happen to your kids, only if you don't look after them that is. If yer can't be_arsed to look after them because dallas is on don't have them its as simple as that.

If you don't ask questions & sit on your hands,to afraid to speak out,invariably **** happens.
Get these questions in the open,maybe some one else who could of been in a similar position in 6 mths will have 2nd thoughts.
I don't,nor do many people,know all the facts.We didn't in the terrible case of the Mcganns.
Still babies were left neglected,tragically.
Noone new all the facts then but read between the lines & only a fool would not see neglect even before the facts came out.
Sorry McGanns if your reading this.
Jusy my humble opinion.
-----------------
And humble should be the word for you for the rest of your life you illiterate moron

I'm an illiterate moron, after that post?.
don't take the p-iss.
I may not be Mr grammatics 2012.but give me a break.
Comment on what I'm saying,not my literacy.
Don't let your 5 year old out to play at night,full stop.
Its not the middle of July,it gets dark at 7 p.m.
To all the other perfect parents who don't wrap there kids in cotton wool,good luck.
'Cos back in the old days we didn't need to! This internet sh-it is breeding nutters by the millions.
They spread stories & filth to each other like never before,so now,it is different.
Parents need to be aware of the 'boom' in child pornography & take APPROPRIATE action.
Trust me,theres some bad ****-ers out there so look after your most precious.
-----------------
Fair enough
The point I was trying to make is you cannot wear another man's shoes ,it is too easy to judge
We all make mistakes
I was upset because you got on your high horse and missed the point that there is a girl missing and her parents are beside themselves
Now is not the time

AussieSheila said:The question that needs to be asked is - why is it that men commit these heinous crimes against children/women.
Is there something in your DNA that pre-disposes you to this kind of crime? We very rarely hear of these crimes committed by females acting alone.
Just a thought......
I have always picked up my kids (and teenagers). And other people's too. But there may always be that one occasion when they decide they can do it for themselves.
No-one can wrap their kids in cotton wool. Most of these cases end up with a good, sensible kid being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And it never ends. I still worry about mine. And will probably do so till the end of my days. But if we instill fear in them (as opposed to caution) they will never live a free life.
The penalties for these offences are what we really need to address.
