Question

Steve Bennedik, The McCann's children were left unsupervised in their hotel room. If the parents were from a different socio-economic background would the media be asking the questions that many are asking and not trying to normalise this issue?

Answer

This argument has some justification. In the early days of the investigation, part of the pull of this story, for us and the public, was the fact that these were doctors, a supposedly ideal family unit. But I think by now all the questions have been asked, and the parents actions on the night Madeleine went missing have been properly scrutinised.
