There was no 2nd floor ladder as in the Lindberg case, which was a ransom deal.
This was a "hot prowl" inside the house by someone comfortable with being there.
The VDs were locked in the garage getting stoned with strangers (I DON'T CARE IF THEY WERE PLAYING SCRABBLE!!!!!), and left their lamb unchecked and unguarded for 11 HOURS!
Please, skip your reflexive defense of what they may have been doing in the garage, and address the FATAL NEGLECT.
Wrong again. How could I have a "obvious devotion to the lifestyle" when I don't and never have practiced it? I DO have the quaint,old-fashioned view that adults should be free to live their lives as they wish.
I also agree that they were wrong for not checking on their children for so long. I hesitate to call it neglect because they WERE in their own home where most people feel a sense of security,and because I don't have any children of my own. I SUSPECT that when people feel secure in their surroundings,they may sometimes overlook checking on their children as often as they should. I leave it to the parents here to comment on this,although I would be shocked to see any admit they did this themselves. ESPECIALLY given the nature of the lynch mob here.
