So tell me it's normal to lock yourself in your garage getting stoned and not check your kids for 11 hours, even after running into the house for munchies and noticing open doors and alarm panel lights on TWICE?
I don't care if they were having a quilting bee in the garage: neglect is neglect. They left their little lamb unguarded because they were too wrapped up in their hobby...and it doesn't matter much what the hobby was.
Especially, if, as mentioned by DVD, they have a child (Danielle) that sleepwalks! My daughter had a problem with sleepwalking, so I put additional locks on all the doors (out of her reach). For them not to check on a daughter that sleepwalks after doors are found ajar is just too farfetched for me to believe.
If anyone would tell you this is normal, it would be him.
Neglect is NOT the same thing as murder. There are even people here saying they thing the father was selling the daughter to strangers,as well as being guilty of her murder. I ain't buying it,and neither should you without some actual evidence or signs of police suspiscion.
