| "I think I was probably naive and too trusting of the people around her that claimed to be her friends, but that was probably the worst thing I have done. | |
| "I do not think I was negligent in any other way. As far as I was concerned she was in very good hands and these people cared for her." | |
| Ms MacKeown was on a six-month holiday with her boyfriend, Scarlett and six other younger children. |
