Put me in the "not neglect" camp.
Methanolic- what would you have done differently here?
Put some sort of lock on the tent zipper? What if there was an emergency in the middle of the night?
Had the parents sleep in shifts?
Tie the kid up or tie the kid to a parent?
I just can't think of a way the parents could have prevented this. And I would suggest you ask your parents about your "wandering off adventures before the age of 4", as I'm sure there is a story. For me, it was riding my trike to K-Mart when I was 3, and having a neighbour pick me up and drive me home.
