Amber's story was not for me about a child murderer who was never caught, it was about modern America's attitude to raising children where the mum has to work, while leaving her child to be looked after by someone else.
In which case this "someone else" was a relatively disturbed old man who could see how the little girl he was asked to look after while his mum worked, was not being cared for properly by her own mother.
This true story demonstrated the mum's irresponsibility toward her own little girl, because mum needed to work to pay the bills.
How we in the western world solve this problem of latch key children is another issue.
Because in the ideal, young children need two mature stable parents to raise them.
Young children should never be left with strangers, no matter how friendly they might be.
