No, and not funny. The girl was mentally disabled and had behavioral problems, and the parents saw fit to restrain her by handcuffing her to the bed. This doesn't make what they did any less reprehensible, but it should serve to squish a few myths.
These are not monsters we're talking about. They're humans. They might be bad parents, but try and get the full picture before you dump your hatred and judgement upon them. Too often the media dehumanizes people, turning them into heroes or villains or Representatives of a Cause (the way they did Jessica Lynch); it's our prerogative as readers to look for the person in the story.
