For those of you who are so quick to judge the parents: I have yet to see, anywhere, any *proof* of the allegations regarding their behavior. It's all been "somebody said that somebody heard that somebody thinks that somebody suspects that somebody just *knows* on account of the vibes..." If you are receiving some secret tittilation from the idea, so be it, but keep it to yourself, and don't add to the pain that family is bearing.

You may very well be correct, but if it were me and it was not true, I believe I would flat out denounce the allegations to avoid negative publicity. I saw them on TV a few weeks ago saying something along the lines of, " this isn't what we should be focusing on" which to me sounds like a neutral answer. Having said that, there is no doubt in my mind that they loved their child and my heart goes out to them.

I'm not sure exactly what some FReeper posted - but I think he said that the couple were advised by their attorney to keep their mouths shut. But I am not sure if that is exactly what I read, because I don't remember hearing an attorney's name mentioned anywhere - just the pro bono PR outfit.

I have to admit something though. I did kind of get a bit of a startle when I heard the mother giving a press statement before the poor little girl's body was found. Her voice inflection just didn't sound right. It made me wonder if the police department has one of those voice/body language experts bisecting her every word/action.
