I think the whole thing is shocking, but it's another case of "little white girl syndrome" - many, many kids go missing all around the world every day but the way the press, especially the British press have had a field-day on this one is appaling ... I mean sky news have a whole subsite dedicated JUST to this!
I hate to say this, but it's one little girl - far worse atrocities are going on in this world!
Saying that, I think parents should have some charges brought against them just for being so damn irresponsible and leaving a load of small children alone at night! I don't care how close they were or how many times they checked, that's just plain stupid!
