Kate McCann

Charlestown, Cornwall

Did anybody hear her talking on Aled Jones's Radio 2 show 'Good Morning Sunday' this morning?. What she must have gone through in the last 2 years has been traumatic & her (& her husbands) pain continues. She does seem a very strong person though.

I got no sympathy for either of them. they should be in prison for neglect, at least. Both are in well paid jobs. The resort they were staying in offered a babysitting service that charged £10 a night. What they did was abosuletly disgusting.

Would you go out for a night and leave your kids at home???????

Having said that I would not like to be in their shoes emotionally speaking.

They have to live with the consequences of their actions.

But please don't ask me for a sympathy vote.

Yup as a mum of four I echo this sentiment £10 a night is a very small price to pay for your children's safety! Am sure she has suffer tremondously but again I have very little sympathy

I am not a parent but my wife was and we agreed that no-one should go through the torment of having their child abducted but this tragic situation would almost certainly not have happened if they had not been so selfish in the first place. I heard conflicting reports about how effective the child-minding service was but to not even make use of it was unforgivable.

I still think there is something missing, there were 3 children in that room why just take maddy. And as for saying it was like being at home in there back garden its not they were in a foreign country on the other side of the resort from their room. If it was a single mum on a council estate who left their children unattended what do you think would happen.

I dont even have kids yet when the news first broke i was horrorfied that they had left them children alone.

When my little sis was young we either took her with us (when appropiate) or on occaision i would stay at home and let the parents go out for a meal on their own.

At the end of the day - if you go on holiday as a family you are there as a family. And if you need a break to go out for dinner - you do what you would do at home, and get a sitter.

All the facts dont add up properly - but its the parents that have got to live with what they have done. Hope the other two little uns dont suffer as a consequence.

Would you trust a doctor to treat you if you knew they had a lackadaisical attitude to child care. I am not saying they deserve what happened but I have yet to see them stand up once and admit it was a selfish and stupid act to leave young children alone in a strange room in a strange country whilst they enjoyed an evening of alcohol and self indulgence.

As a mother of 6 children, yes i said 6 all to the same man I can sympathised with them to only a certain degree i know what its like having the kids running around and sometimes being a pain when all you want is a couple of hours by yourself or with friends just for a yap or even a meal but that is where the parent bit kicks in til they have left home and have their own family to deal with. my children have never been left alone with anyone other than family members when i have been going out on either a meet or for a special occasion betwenn myself and hubby. The only other time they are out of either mine or hubby's sight is when they are at school or asleep in their beds xxx Lois xxx

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

Unlike Denise Bulger, the McCanns actively seek publicity as they have no concrete proof that their child is dead. Cynics may also say that it may be to deflect accusation away from them, and publicly show how concerned they are, after initially leaving their children alone in a room.

"Would a single mum living in a flat on moss side who popped next door to the pub be treated the same?? I think not"

I was vilified when I said something similar to friends when this happened, cos they said I have no idea what its like to lose a child - well no I dont but I know not to leave my girls alone in a strange place while I go out with mates

We are due to go on holiday in a few months and I know hubby and I will not get an evening "off" cos its a family holiday, not a piss up with mates holiday.

When I lived in a flat in Edinburgh and had to take rubbish out to the bin chute when the oldest was a baby I locked her in the flat walked the 7 steps to the bin chute and raced back cos I was that paranoid something would happen

my mother said why lock the door your not leaving the floor just the flat my answer I cant see my front door from the bin chute room, and I would rather die than have something happen to my daughter

Even now when my girls are 7 and 11 I still wouldnt go to the pub without someone to watch them.

I never left my son on his own until he was 15 i simply didnt go out. Every other weekend he went to his dads so that was my time. Was i over causious well maybe but i lost him in woolwoths 6 months after the jamie bulger affair and he was the same age, that was the worst 15 minutes of my life

This was a family holiday at a resort that caters for families. The children could have gone along with the parents or they could have made use of the sitter service available at the resort. I also agree that hindsight is a wonderful thing. What the McCanns did was make a seriously bad judgement call and now have to suffer the consequences. My thoughts are with Maddie whose life must be in turmoil, wondering what has happened. I do hope she's still alive.

totaly agree when our kids were little if you left them in the another room without being able to seeing them there was hell to pay, you wouldnt leave a baby upstairs without a monitor to hear never mind going to the bar for a nice meal with your friends, they wouldnt have gone to the pub in the uk and left them so why did they do it on holiday.no sympathy at all they should be locked up for what they did!

You have to think that if they were not in high paid jobs and lived in a poor area, would the other children have been taken into care due to neglect?

What has happend is terrible and I have no doubt that their actions it will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Leaving the kids alone was unforgivable.

i agree with you, if me a joe bloggs noone with a normal job had left my kids alone and one went missing i'd have had the lot took off me, but because they are well paid mecidal people who drugs their kids to save on babysitting money thats ok, they keep the ones they aint 'lost'

When our girls were young I worked days and my husband nights so one of us would be there to pick them up from school etc.

Any where they went we were there ever vigilant.

I therefore can't understand how the McCann's could leave their children alone and how their "friends" didn't say anything to them!

I've found them very cold and their arrogance towards the Portugese police has been astounding!

The McCann family are suing Gonçalo Amaral for having had the audacity to write a book about the disappearance.

It seems they feel they're the only ones allowed to make money out of this tragedy.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

I think they are involved in Maddie's death.

G. Amaral had the guts to say what the police was not allowed to say officially because their incompetence screwed up the gathering of evidence and making them inadmissible in court.

So the authorities know they did it but cannot prove it.

I have sympathy with the McCanns and I hope that one day thier pain is ended.

The hope remains that one day Maddy will be found alive. Slim though that maybe the fact that in USA those 3 women were found earlier this year after having been missing for 10 years or so must give hope. In addition there gave been other cases in recent years where missing people have been found.

As for what happened on the night in question, suffice to say that however poor the decision was to leave the children alone in a room, the price that the parents have paid far outweighs any misjudgement on their behalf.

My prayers are for all the McCanns and hopefully one day they'll find Maddy.

I hope one day Maddie is found alive but I believe she died the night she disappeared.

The McCanns both come across as very cold and hard, and whether guilty or innocent - and I make no judgement either way - put their 3 children in danger by leaving them alone so they could drink and dine with friends...had they been an unmarried couple from a council estate instead of wealthy doctors they would have been vilified and prosecuted.

What amazes me is that whilst you hear of families selling everything they own to fund the search for missing loved ones, the McCanns still live in luxury and have used other people's donations to look for Maddie.

There is something just not 'right' about it all

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big)

The McCanns get no sympathy from me. They put there children in danger and it is there fault one of there children was taken. They should have the rest of there children took off them and shouldn't be allowed to bring them up. They have neglected there duty as a parent to put there children before anything else.

The amount of publicity that they have received is ridiculous when compared to other children that have been abducted.

I don't disagree with all you've said but ... what luxury ? From what I can recall they did do all in their power to find her. Selling all they have and recovering old ground won't find Maddie. My guess is if a strong lead came up they'd sell up and give all they have to get her back.

Child abandonment!!

Under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, parents in England and Wales can be prosecuted for wilful neglect if they leave a child unsupervised "in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health".

Punishment can be up to 10 years imprisonment but I'm guessing the mcCanns somehow are above the law!!

"They" did not "do it" until arrested/charged/found guilty.

"Child abandonment!!

Punishment can be up to 10 years imprisonment but I'm guessing the mcCanns somehow are above the law!!

Haven't you noticed,Portugal isn't actually in England or Wales?"

pretty sure they would have similar laws

no matter what anyone says, leaving your 3 YOUNG kids alone while you go out and get pissed is disgusting behaviour and it should be punished but for some reason the McCanns have seemingly never been called to task over it.

Yes it is tragic that their daughter went 'missing' but unfortunately actions have consequences (no i am not a heartless bitch, just stating a fact).

We will never know what truely happened and i believe that they were more involved than the media steam train wants us to believe.

The only person I have any sympathy for in the whole sorry situation is Madeleine herself.

If her useless excuse of parents had hired a babysitter, and not left them alone for the night, she would have still been with them. And in any case, if they did that here, and social services got whiff of it, the McCann's would likely have had those kids taken away from them.

I hope that the poor little girl is dead, and that she died very quickly.

The alternative is ( to me) more scary.

I am of the opinion that there was more involvement from the parents than the media and McCanns led the public to believe, but when all said and done, it is just my opinion.

The only people who know what happened are the perpetrator (be that the McCanns or A N other) and possibly poor Madeleine.

I DO believe that THE McCanns should have had a case to answer for child neglect.

Its an opinion. Just as yours is. You don't know the facts just as I don't. The only 1 fact that's true is they did neglect their children that night so whatever happened is they're responsibility because if they'd taken care of the kids at they should have Maddy missing wouldn't be an issue. As for my other comment I can guarantee I'm not the only one who's thought this.

But I also think people need to think in the real world as well! How often did your parents leave you alone as kids thinking you were safe, because they were just next door? I know mine did!

That is why there is the saying 'hindsight is a wonderful thing!'

If only we were all so perfect and lived in a perfect world! Unfortunately we don't, yet sometimes we live in a false security, so whilst it is and has been a massive tragedy, I think it was a very easy mistake to have been made, just my opinion of course and yes my mother and I did discuss this often since this has happened, and yes, we were left on quite a few occasions with the odd head poked round the door to make sure everything was ok.

They are both without a doubt intelligent people. What they did that night was not the actions of intelligent people. All parents need the odd break from your young ones,but to do so in another country ? Draw your own conclusions but it all makes very little sense to me.

I have always had an inkling that "something went wrong" ie maybe they did "drug" their children to ensure sleep etc but something happened to her. In that situation they would be well aware that their jobs and social standing would be ruined and also that their other two may be taken off them. However, if they did have something to do with it, I think that there would have been one of them, more than the other, "in charge" and the guilt would be eating them up....I would not be surprised if, sometime in the future, one of them cracked and admitted to something.....

Highly qualified, apparently responsible people/parents.... The mind boggles as to why they would have wrecklessly abandoned their child in such a selfish manner. BUT, the fact that, potentially their child has been abducted still warrants empathy. In my mind, the jury is still out on the full authenticity of their claims. God bless that young angel. Whatever the case is. I am just very sceptical of the genuine facts surrounding her disappearing. Peace x

Mine left us all day during the school holidays. We couldn't afford childcare. I was five and my sister three and a half the first time. However, we weren't drugged to keep us quiet.

That was over 40 years ago. I can't imagine leaving children so young on their own here, let alone in a strange country.

They weren't protecting her so of course they are to blame. If they had of been there or arranged a baby sitter it couldn't of happened.

It is impossible for parents to always"protect" their children.

By your argument then other parents of abductees could be blamed too.

Not unless they are leaving a child to fend for themselves while they go eat and drink.

If they were with their child no one could have taken her

That is the point I was trying to make, so many unsubstantiated statements. I know nothing about this video and its authenticity beyond what has been said on here and so far no one has said anything which makes me inclined to think that it contains anything that might contribute factually in any way to finding out what happened to a small girl.

A lot of brick throwing going on in this thread. Must be all perfect people.

That would only apply if any one had done what the Mcganns did, which was leave three young children on their own while they were fed and watered.

For us, we NEVER left our children alone in a building be that abroad or at home on their own.

No food or drink is more important than a childs welfare.

If that means I am perfect then yes, I was perfect at never leaving our children in a building alone while I drank and ate in another building

this to me is what every parent would do.

however, cant help but think they havent been doing just this.

we discussed it at the time and V couldnt believe how calm they both were.

she said her youngest was 20 minutes late coming in after playing round his friends house and she was out, with the other kids, searching the estates for him, and thats 20 minutes.

they have only ever been back to portugal for photoshoots and money making opportunities.

we would be bankrupt, travelling the world following every lead ourselves, because thats what worried parents that are missing a child do!

Pretty sure that they (Mcanns)know all too well that they fucked up in a major way when they left their kids to go and eat..

pretty incomprehensible to us as parents tbh, but in raising ours we did make mistakes also and I would hazard a guess that we are not the only ones..

called being human and learning etc..

theirs was at the very higher end of whatever scale one would attach it to, possibly had they done that over here they most likely would have been prosecuted and probably deservedly so..

Interesting thought ...If you had allowed a child of yours to go on holiday with these people and this crime happened ...would you accept their version of events ?

I rarely judge anyone but theres a lot of double standards going on with the parents. If they were both on long term benefits and from the lower end of society they would be getting hounded and not a great deal of sympathy. No because these are two people with responsible careers and well respected in their community,they get the red carpet treatment. Anyone who thinks your class and upbringing matters little these days,is living in cloud cuckoo land

I understand there are doubts - that's inevitable but I think a lot of people are making judgements based on very little besides a bizarre lynch mentality. It's not pleasant and says much.

Regrettably this is another case of trial by media and conjecture ....

There was another case on Crimewatch last night, where a 7 year old girl was murdered 21 years ago ... Her mother had left two daughters and a cousin in her flat whilst she went to visit family in the same estate ... One daughter and the cousin to see Mum and then left to go back to the flat ...

Tragically the daughter was taken and killed ....

But where is/ was the vilification in this tragic case ?

I watched the video and really based no judgement on it. I thought it was interesting. The only people who know the truth are the people involved...the parents fucked up and they know they did and they have to live with that for the rest of their lives. The only person i feel sorry for in this case is maddy...
