Minding their own business, shouldn't matter. What business of anyone's is that? The little girl was sound asleep, not passed out drunk or awake partying. Of what consequence is this to you?

A very quick snap-judgement based on little to no information. Some people LOVE demonizing partying and drinking and using drugs (which could have just been weed, for christsakes) as the worst thing in the universe, when in reality it's a perfectly normal thing to be up with other consenting adults, enjoying adult beverages, and having a good time. Who are any of you to dictate that these actions are those of a bad parent? That is a disgusting generalization.

Getting a music CD hardly means they're going to blast it, or disturb the little girl in any way. Again- I see no way in which this makes this woman a bad parent, and I fail to see your (and others') righteous indignations over such little information. It's very easy to wag your finger at people, isn't it?
These people went too far- plain and simple. If this was my little girl, i'd have beat the shit out of him while on hold with the police, but obviously not to the point of even coming CLOSE to killing him. You can all make your assumptions about the parenting skills of those in question, but you ignore the fact that this man may have been 20 seconds away from breaking her window to get in. You ignore the fact that he may be watching her and following her home from school. He may have planned on abducting her in the future. You don't know that- and yet it's REALLY easy to label these parents YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT as horrible people. The fact is, they were enjoying a good time, one of them went to get a CD for music and saw the man in the window of the little girl
who was still sound asleep, despite the horrible din you people make their get-together out to be... and craziness ensued.
Really, we can all say what we "would" do, but none of us would really find out unless it happened to us. Some people have buttons that should never get pressed in their entire lives, lest horrible atrocities befall the button-presser. Example: If the woman I love is ever raped or killed, not even God himself will be able to hold me back.
