Only someone with the hardest heart could have seen April&#8217;s mum make her TV appeal and not been moved to tears themselves.  The woman is obviously in pieces, so why are people who have nothing whatsoever to do with the case being so cruel and judgemental?<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s very easy to sit with your own children safely by your side and say what you would or wouldn&#8217;t have done.  With hindsight everyone has 20\/20 vision.  But give April&#8217;s parents a break!<br \/>\nLook at how you bring up your own kids, would you?  Do you spend time with them?  Do you feed them properly &#8211; no junk food?  Do you always listen to them?  Do you never swear at them?  Do you make sure they go to school every day and help them by reading to them or with their homework?  Do you talk to them as opposed to shouting at them?  Do you give them boundaries and show them by example what is right and what is wrong?  Do you shower them with love and let them know that  you love them unconditionally?  Do you always support them and do you make them realise their own self-worth and value?  Do you let them be children and enjoy their childhood?  No, I thought not!<br \/>\nNothing anyone can say in their nasty, venomous comments could possibly make April&#8217;s parents feel any worse than they already are.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is to blame for April&#8217;s disappearance, except the pervert that took her.
