oh - don't misunderstand me. It is absolutely NOT ACCEPTABLE to put that little girl at risk like that. I don't give a damn what the circumstances are. I'd sleep under a f'n rock with my daughter tied to my hip rather than make her "available" for some stranger.

BUT...What I don't know is all the facts in this case and I'm trying to keep from rushing to judgement... perhaps the guy had left and sneaked back in - perhaps she did wander outside - I don't want to rip into the father or the mother until I have good reason and proof.

Yeah, I don't want to rip into the parents either. They are already suffering horribly. The very idea of having to ID your dead child is so very sad. I'm just suprised and shocked by how iresponsible some parents can be. As if that sort of thoughtlessness, neglect or just plain guillible attitudes towards the homeless as being harmless, down-on-their-luck people who just need a little help has not been going on since time immemorial...
