Would they 'of' indeed? What do you mean, 'a different background' ? They were and are ordinary people. They thought the children would be safe with the apartment in sight and one of them checking up every half an hour. Obviously afterwards they wished they'd done it differently.
It was a dreadful thing to happen. They were with two other couples and it could have been one of their children abducted, they must feel it all too, including the person who last went up to check and didn't open the bedroom door! Imagine how he must feel.
Somebody abducted the little girl, the McCanns and their friends didn't take and murder her. There's no point in piling on them. So many people seem to want to believe the worst of this couple.
When I was ten and eleven I went away with my parents, aunt and uncle, cousin and her husband with their three small children. We stayed at holiday camps, the second one was Butlin's, can't remember what the first one was called. That was 1960 and 61.
My cousin's children were left in the chalet in the evening while we were all at the dance hall or wherever. People were employed to go around the chalets and report if a child was crying, a voice would come over a loudspeaker in the dance hall saying parents of child in chalet number whatever should go and see to a crying child.
That seems quite dreadful now but was normal then.
I'm not sure whether or not I will watch the documentary.
