Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second.

He was not a custodial parent. Okay, that's lamentable, and indicative of the disturbing decline of the American family. I fully agree with you there. But I cannot agree with you blaming the girl's death on the father's absence. He was not neglectful of her, nor did he actually harm her. He just wasn't around as much as a parent should be.

This guy is blaming himself for something that is not his fault. While the breakdown in his child's family is partially his fault, his daughter's death is not. Don't let a "pro-family" agenda make you blame the father of the victim.

What Mr. Christie is quoted as having said is absolutely and undeniably true.

He was not neglectful of her, nor did he actually harm her.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

Nearly all victims of child abductions and neglect are from dysfunctional families. This is why cases like Elizabeth Smart get so much media attention; because it is so unusual for a kid from a stable, two-parent home to be abducted.
