As the story originally went, she went missing while her parents were dining in the hotel restaurant. She was sleeping in the hotel room with her 2-year-old siblings.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea why any parents who care about the children would even seriously entertain the idea of leaving toddler and preschool children alone in a hotel room. Regardless how often they went back to check on them.<\/p>\n<p>It gets better.<\/p>\n<p>The parents are now suspects in the case. Apparently, forensic investigation turned up traces of blood in the parents&#8217; car.<\/p>\n<p>If I thought I had no idea why parents would leave their young children alone in a hotel room, I am completely baffled why they would kill their daughter. At the very least, why they would cover up her death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t been following the story, a 4-year-old girl went missing in May while she was vacationing with her &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/2007\/09\/07\/irresponsible-parents\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Irresponsible Parents<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Irresponsible Parents<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/2007\/09\/07\/irresponsible-parents\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Irresponsible Parents\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If you haven&#8217;t been following the story, a 4-year-old girl went missing in May while she was vacationing with her &hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/2007\/09\/07\/irresponsible-parents\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Our Thoughts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2007-09-08T04:28:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kim Siever\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Kim Siever\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/2007\/09\/07\/irresponsible-parents\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/2007\/09\/07\/irresponsible-parents\/\",\"name\":\"Irresponsible Parents\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2007-09-08T04:28:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2007-09-08T04:28:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/99e996edc89affe5206808d3f65869d1\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/2007\/09\/07\/irresponsible-parents\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/\",\"name\":\"Our Thoughts\",\"description\":\"Thought-provoking commentary on life, politics, religion and social issues.\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/99e996edc89affe5206808d3f65869d1\",\"name\":\"Kim Siever\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ourthoughts.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/417c7b5f55d329bdd0f64ef4396831db?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/417c7b5f55d329bdd0f64ef4396831db?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Kim Siever\"},\"description\":\"Queer Mormon poet with radical political views.
