Absolutely amaaaazing that these girls were found when they were. 3 days without food or water is excrutiating. My prayers are with them for their long road ahead.
I'm not really understanding the bashing of GB. THe age difference is a bit much but no one was calling Demi Moore an unfit parent for dating Ashton (after the rehab stint yes...but not while dating). No one is questioning whether or not Jennifer Lopez should keep custody of her kids for parading around with her boy toy. IJS Hind sight is 20/20. I think the Bains should have been more cautious in how much they trusted this guy, but in no way should him being naive and too trusting make him in any way accountable for what happened. He has to bury his wife, his daughter (legally she belongs to him), and in some way figure out how to help his other two daughters cope with what they've been through AAAAAAAND try and piece together some sense of a normal life. Talk about kicking a guy when he's down. JMO

I have to agree. What happened to this family is horrific, but that doesn't change the fact this kind of thing is the exception, not the rule. Between the ages of 9 and 11, I was left with no relation family friends for weeks at a time 400 miles away from my parents. It was great, and they never did anything bad to me whatsoever. We even did a taffy pull one time..
So what was GB supposed to do, never let his children have contact with anyone other than him and JB? Never let his kids out of his sight, never let them spend the night somewhere? If so, then I guess he should never have allowed them in a car, or even outside, or inside for that matter to protect them from accidents, house fires, etc.
There is a very recent story on here somewhere about some random guy breaking into a home over the weekend, raping and killing the mother and daughter, and inflicting serious head injuries on the father. The two boys were left unhurt. So apparently when it comes right down to it, nothing and no where is 100% safe.
So I have no admonishments for GB whatsoever. He didn't do anything wrong, he is a victim, just like the two girls. JB, I sincerely doubt she did anything wrong, either. I don't believe for one second any of those children were AM's, but whether they were or not, he had NO right to do what he did. I wish the best for what remains of this family, and I hope they are able to move past what has happened and make good lives for themselves.
As far as TM and MM, may they please plead guilty and not put this family through anymore, and may they both rot the rest of their sorry lives in prison.
