Parents probably went next door to drink, or smoke it up, should've never been out of ear shot.

You don't know that. For all we know they may have had company and of them could have gone outside to say goodbye and the other may have decided to check the mail. It's just as feasible as your suggestion and isn't nefarious.

When one of the parents go to work are you saying that the other parent has to stay in the same room as the baby when it is napping? They would never get anything done. They wouldn't even be able to go to the bathroom.

I did say 'probably', because it is just a guess, of course. I based it on the fact that they raised a 7yr old who obviously had no regard for life or protection of the meek. There is something obviously wrong with a 7yr old that can shatter an infant's face with a 2x4. That's where they lost the benefit of the doubt in my opinion.

And yes, the 'Never' thing is an exaggeration - see post #73 - if you have 'Never' as you rule, everything else is a carefully calculated exception.
