Whereas, he inflicted both misery and fear on the parents of a missing child. IMO.

Actually, they managed that all on their own because of their terrible parenting.  Had the McCanns properly looked after that child we would not be here discussing this eleven years later and she might have had a life.  The reality is whatever happened to her it was down to her parents stupidity.

The term in loco parentis, Latin for "in the place of a parent" refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, it is applied in two separate areas of the law.

And not one member of the group had the sense to point out that it was risky. OC were under no obligation to tell parents how to behave.

That backfired a bit then didn't it?  Business on the whole was not improved by having a child go missing from their resort.

It wasn't due to any oversight or failure on the part of the Ocean Club. It was more likely due to the depiction of PdL in the UK media
