Maybe I'm turning liberal or something, but it seems a little cruel that their sexual habits are becoming fair game for the whole damn world while they are also having to deal with a missing and possible dead child.

What is the likelihood that the little girl would be missing if her parents weren't into "swinging" or some other "alternate life style"? What is the likelihood that the little girl would be missing if her parents had spent the evening at home and tucked her in? It's not a matter of "sexual habits", it's a matter of parental responsibility.

Her Father was home all evening. Is that an indictment on ALL Fathers? Come on..crap happens.

Identical chances.

Her father WAS at home all night,and he even tucked her in.

You are right here,but why did you try to make it a issue in your first sentence?

it's a matter of parental responsibility.

No,it's not. Remember Polly Klass? There are untold numbers of children abducted from their homes every year by strangers,with the parents being home and totally blameless. "No,I do NOT know how this is possible.",but I DO know it happens. What everybody should be focusing on here is that a little girl is missing and either dead or in danger. Instead,we have a bunch of sexually-repressed idiots who want to play voyuer.

I have to agree with most here that something is really fishy about this. Who does not double check on thier kids in the night? I know I do if I get up for anything else and certainly I would have if there was an intruder alert or a door unlocked even(even if I had left it unlocked and overlooked it before bed). I don't know about anyone else, but I brought my daughter and son into our bed when I first read about this story more in depth a few nights ago. I just could not get to sleep without them nearby and within reach. They are preschool/toddler age, but even if they were older, I probably would have had to camp out in thier rooms to be able to sleep that night. Saying all that, I just can't understand how someone could not check on thier children for nearly 12 hours, particularly when something suspicious has happened during the night. Something doesn't add up.
