No, not even then. It's called omission of facts. One can't make an accurate judgment without all the details.

I suppose it was very stupid of the guy to hide where he hid, but I was kind of angry at the bias bit and was taking sides with him. I still think the mother did "the right" thing by letting him stay, no matter how obvious a hiding place it was. Here are some headlines from Swedish press:
"I didn't think it was dangerous" - 12-year old playing strangling games, the goal of which is to pass out. "Recess supervisors where nowhere to be seen!"
"Sjögren too similar to Elvis - sued in high court" - A woman thought artist Christer Sjögren's singing was too similar to Elvis, so she sues. Case dismissed.
"New Year's Eve rocket killed 16-year old *****" - Kid goes out, finds "1 meter tall, lamppost-wide" rocket, with a millimetre-long fuse. What do you do? Light it, of course.
"We were not allowed to clean" Family wants to be in TV reality show, doesn't read contract, which says they are not allowed to clean their house for two weeks.
"She sues the casino - for 120 millions" - Woman gambles away 6 million SEK, over a period of 5 days. Now she thinks the casino should have stopped her.
And it just goes on and on and on...
