I don't think that the parents should be prosecuted. Let Mother Nature take care of her own, meaning fewer homo sapien for my children to compete with. ...I always laugh when I read posts by libertarians who make noises to the effect that, "Why bother to stop carnal behavior in children-- its irrepressible!" You can always tell those who were raised by people who didn't love them. .... A dog will eat cat feces from the litterbox. Its purely natural behavior, but most people don't care enough about their dog to train him to stop. ... "Yeah- let's blame the parents for this.... are you saying they are partially responsible for the dead SOB doing what he did to their daughters?" Yes. I also blame parents who let their children play in freeway traffic. But I am a nasty person.

No you are not nasty. You are sick. There is no parallel at all to letting children play in a freeway and having a daughter raped by a sexual predator at gunpoint.

The parents were negligent. But for the girls being out at 2 am in a secluded area known to attract horny teens, they would not have been hurt. The parents were not the cause of their ordeal, but they contributed to it.
