Hello BB, I was in no way suggesting that the families of the girls were in any way to blame. Their parents, as with many other parents of children who have been murdered or abused are obviously very caring and loving. I was referring to the children, thankfully few, that I have seen wondering around the street at night as young as 7 or 8. When we had the jubilee party in our road, there were 3 children from many streets away, (they told us) who were 4, 6 & 8. Many of our neighbours had their front doors open for people at the party to wander around, use their kitchens, toilets etc. These 3 children didn't know any of us, yet stayed for the whole event, some 7 hours. They ended up asking us for drinks and food. Not a single person came to check on them the entire time. Maybe they have very trusting parents but I certainly wouldn't do the same with my children.
