I've seen this brought up several times. It is very obvious where her parents are, I agree. As an adult reading (or rereading) children fiction I often find obvious foreshadowing that I missed as a kid. I think it is intentional by authors to introduce concepts such as foreshadowing to young readers, who are not yet used to looking for it while they are reading.

I thought the same thing Cristina! and I was really impressed by Coraline when she turned down the other mothers offer to stay with her. Coraline was very aware of the fact her parents still loved her even after a whole day when they didn't have the time to play with her.
