There but for the grace of god, go a lot of parents. As adults and parents we make decisions and act in ways that sometimes we pay for , for the rest of our lives.
On this occassion and probably many others, they took a chance and it didn't come off.
Should we prosecute every harassed mum or dad who puts the kids to play in the garden, while they do some house work?
Or leave the kids in the house, while they pop to the shop or even send the kid to the shop?
Or leave them in the car at the petrol station?
Or being babysat by grandad, cos lets face it, paedophiles are usually someone you know.
So come off it, they made a mistake, they'll live and probably die with that guilt... but no-one is perfect. Perfect if they weren't attractive middle class professionals, there would be more sympathy for them?
