Stockholm Syndrome is psychological thing where people being held captive become sympathetic to their captors. It happens usually to kids, but can happen to adults.

Regarding the ’she was left unsupervised, the parents are to blame’ theories... well, as much as I feel parents should watch over their children as much as possible, you can’t really defend them against someone climbing in through the window and abducting them. There’s no way you can watch over them every minute of every day. That’s such a random occurence. I don’t know the full situation, neither does anyone really, but it’s hard to blame the parents if that’s what happened.

I feel the same way. People say "they could have prevented it" but you can prevent anything with the right information and knowledge.

I agree that they cannot watch them 24/7, but I still find it silly that they:

Left three young children in a room, with no protection other than locked door.
Did not bother getting someone to look after them. A "nanny" or sitter would of been good.
Did not check everything was locked up. I don't think there was any reports on a broken window or door?
Went out together, and did not bother taking them with them. Yes, they deserve alone time, but in a strange country to them, they should not of left it to chance.

I find it slightly amusing still that they leave the remaining two with relatives. I think the last things those children need are to be abandoned again, while they see some glorified icon who will just say "God is with you" and leave it like that "/
