I don't think its a question of whether they were educated or not.
And i think neglect is a strong word for what happened.
They made a huge mistake that will haunt them for the rest of their lives but at the time they genuinely thought that she would be fine as they were in a family resort checking on her regularly.
What happened was a tragic yet unlikely event that they could never have imagined in their worst nightmares.
I think its time to stop vilifying them for what happened.
Surely the fact that they don't know where their daughter is and whether she is alive or dead is enough for them to try and cope with?
They will no doubt blame themselves to a degree forever.
I'm sure comments like yours and others in the media make them feel even worse than they do already and all the speculation in the papers is out of order in my opinion too,raising false hope over and over again.
Leave them to continue the search for Madeline,hopefully the media can still help them without the speculation and hopefully one day we will all find out what happened to that beautiful little girl.
