The indisputable fact is that had the Mcanns not left their daughter and and twins alone that dreadful night, or been more responsible, then none of the resulting furore would have happened.

As much as I loathe KH, I have to agree with her. They were negligent and they are guilty for leaving their children alone. I'm prepared for a barage of abuse now.

I completely agree. What I found despicable about their conduct was that , given their professions, they should have known better.

Is this something they did on a regular basis when at home in England?

love her or hate her she has an opinion that invariably gets people talking and for that reason she will always get airtime. On this topic, while the outcome was horrendous, I'm afraid she is right, leaving your kids unattended at that age in any circumstance is not right.

I'm not going to give you or anyone abuse for holding an opinion but it isn't just the parents there are nine year old twins who deserve as normal a life as possible and all the time their parents are hounded wont get it.

No public figure gets 'left alone' these days. It's the way of the media world.

The reason why the McCanns are public figures is highly unusual but they can't expect to get different treatment (scrutiny) to everyone else.

It would be preferential for their twins to live a normal private life but when the parents are putting themselves front and centre of the media then they are not choosing a normal private life (no matter what the reasons are).

People don't care about nuance. If you're in the papers, people will talk about you.

If the Mcanns version of events is to be believed then it is understandable to keep hunting for Daddy. However it is them that are constantly keeping the affair in the public areana. Perhaps they should stop litigation against everyone they can sue, and think of their remaining kids and now keep out of the news and get on with their lives?

I understand your point and I am not saying they have never apologised for letting Maddy down but I have never seen or heard them reproach themselves at all. They are always blaming others for not sorting out the mess they caused. Everyone has probably done irresponsible actions in life and with their children, the sad fact is that when it goes wrong in the first instance it is your own fault.

What they done was wrong and selfish. They put their social life before the safety and well being of their children.

If it was in this country and they tucked them up in bed and walked to the local pub surely this would be classed as neglect?

In saying that they have suffered more than I hope anyone else would ever have to so what's the point in some minor celebrity troll adding her two pence worth now.

Precisely.

"I understand your point and I am not saying they have never apologised for letting Maddy down but I have never seen or heard them reproach themselves at all.

I agree. I have never once seen them show any remorse for leaving their children unattended. If anything, they have defended themselves for doing so.

Personally, and speaking as a parent myself, I can't imagine what possessed them to do such a thing. I'm not even comfortable with popping into my garage to get a screwdriver when my kids are with me - and it's joined to the side of the house!

"What they done was wrong and selfish. They put their social life before the safety and well being of their children.

...and Social Services would no doubt have gotten involved and may have brought care proceedings against them.

I would imagine those thoughts have gone through their own heads a million times on many a sleepless night, does it need a self serving mouthpiece like KH to point it out to them again? These are two people who are in the public eye because they've lost their daughter and they're trying everything to get her back, they're not celebrities who are to be used to raise someone else's profile.

PS I'm not having a go at you, I just think it's a little sick that people feel they can abuse this couple via twitter or or use them to get their name trending like KH.

The simple fact is that they left their children alone to go out and as a consequence one of their children went missing. I've seen the book thrown at parents who did the same thing (note their children did not go missing). I don't like what KH stands for never have never will but as stated there are many people who have said the same thing..the only difference is they said it behind closed doors.

There is nothing slight about leaving three under 5 year olds in a room/apartment whilst you go off having dinner with friends.

I feel sorry for them, because they will have to live with that fact for the rest of their lives.

Exactly my thoughts on the matter theres are people out there that have had their children taken.away for far less! It was sheer neglect brought on by their own selfishness, I know that my kids come first and foremost id never dream of leaving my kids alone like that

It is true, and they deserved some extra notoriety for exploiting Max Clifford's publicity machine but they have paid a very heavy price and enough is enough. The media should now leave them alone.

The subject of the McCanns is an emotive one and I'm not surprised that the publicity hungry Katie Hopkins giving her public opinion on this. It is nothing new that hasn't been said before.

Whilst I feel that the McCanns' judgement to leave their children without a babysitter in the same room was flawed, many holiday companies abroad offered a similar babysitting monitoring service and hundreds of families took advantage of this. Abductions are rare and unfortunately the McCanns have paid the highest price ever.

Its all down to perception of risk, some people would take a dim view of inviting strangers off the internet over to the house for sex whilst the kids are in bed, a very high risk activity, after all you don't know the history of that person, could be a paedophile or a seriel killer, others think its an unlikely scenario and want to put their own fun first. I expect the McCanns never thought an abduction was very likely either.

Leaving children alone in the evening on holiday was a risk I personally couldnt take, but there were many others who thought it acceptable and it wasn't unusual. Its only when a tragedy like this happens, and it is a rarity, that we rethink our actions.

There's a good rule of thumb that says anyone hiring Max Clifford is almost certainly guilty.

When I was 9 we went to Pontins where they offered a child listening service, you left your child in the chalet and a blue coat walked round listening to hear if they were crying. Loads of parents used this so that they could attend the evening entertainment although my parents didn't.

I don't need to point out the dangers inherent in this system but what the McCanns did is nothing new and they are not alone in having done it.

But they didnt use the babysitting service did they. They just left their kids in a room while they enjoyed themselves. Ok, they took it in turns to check on them but that isn't good enough in my opinion. Going on holiday with your children is that, you go on holiday to spend time with your children. If they had wanted some kid free time, there was enough of them to take it in turns each night to let one couple have time to themselves while the others had the kids.

Neither do I which is why I would never hire hotel babysitters.

Those children must have been used to being left alone. My son would be petrified being left alone in his own house let alone an apartment on holiday, he would have screamed the place down!

I wouldn't leave my kids alone or with strangers....EVER........but plenty did and still do, from all walks of life. Loads of parents allow young kids out of sight to play, to run to the corner shop or leave them in bed while they drop a partner at work or the station. It happens happens all the time because no one thinks it will ever happen to them.

"The indisputable fact is that had the Mcanns not left their daughter and and twins alone that dreadful night, or been more responsible, then none of the resulting furore would have happened.

I completely agree. What I found despicable about their conduct was that , given their professions, they should have known better.

Is this something they did on a regular basis when at home in England?

Exactly, and had they not been in their chosen professions I feel it would be a whole different story regarding their twins

There is only one victim, and thats Maddy. Her parents were instrumental in her not being here.

When you make a mistake in life you either get away with it or you get caught and punished. They did not get away with it, they lost their daughter and people like you and thousandsw of others are prolonging their agony and damaging the two children left behind. They have suffered enough. let them and the surviving children live the rest of their life with their own demons. There is no need at all for all the "perfect model citizens" of this world to keep ramming it down their throat that it is their own fault - they are patently acutely aware of it.

They made a mistake, a huge mistake, probably the biggest mistake anyone could ever make. But they are human, we make mistakes. We get complacent, feel safe where perhaps we are not.

Either way, the have suffered more than I ever want to over anything. They needed to use the media to try and find her, we all would.

So why be so spiteful, hateful and nasty, just be thankful the mistakes you've made do far have been minor in comparison. Let them be, perhaps consider feeling empathy for them, but at least stop the vitriolic attacks.

If they were different people with different personalities or were prepared to rend their garments and don sackcloth and ashes they would have the publics sympathy? I doubt it, they aren't likeable people, they have no recognisable frailty or vulnerability, they aren't prepared to blame themselves publicly and people think they should and one of their worst crimes as far as the media and general public is concerned is that they are educated, professional people who should have known better and if it can happen to them it can happen to anybody and that is an unbearable thing to face so it's much easier to hate them, blame them and even accuse them of murder.

Agreed. During discussion elsewhere on this subject I have encountered people who otherwise decry media evidence as flawed quote it as gospel in this case.....because it suits them to believe it.

I've always thought there was a huge amount of inverse snobbery attached to the media's attitude to the McCanns.

Who is to say how grief-stricken people "should" behave? So much of the early criticism was focused on the way they seemed quite cold on camera. To me they just seemed numb, which is completely understandable.

The only victim in this is that poor girl. The parents haven't suffered anything the vile cunts. They make me even more sick than KH does and that's saying something. Would love to see KH verbally slaughter them

"Also we are using words like."resentment" towards people who have lost a child......resentment for goodness sake!

I must say there's not a lot in these comments to acknowledge there is still a missing child at the heart of all this.

Yep because people are so focused on blaming her parents and critiquing their media image."

someone gave me the book that Kate wrote,it answered a lot of questions and now years later I just feel really sorry for them and what they have to live with on a daily basis,even if what they did was the worst decision they ever made,for that they have paid the ultimate price,I hope they get as much support to counteract the vitriol and hate thats directed at them and I hope the twins that so many people wanted ripped from their parents even though they were coming to terms with losing a sister have lives that are relatively normal and not intruded by hate

What a stupid question what evidence do I have.

I don't think the police seem have much evidence.

I just made a point.

You made the statement if you think my question is stupid it's only because you have no plausible answer.

Unfortunately as yet no one has any answers.

But we are all entitled to our opinions at the end of the day its a very sad case

"What a vile woman KH is.

They made a mistake, a huge mistake, probably the biggest mistake anyone could ever make. But they are human, we make mistakes. We get complacent, feel safe where perhaps we are not.

Either way, the have suffered more than I ever want to over anything. They needed to use the media to try and find her, we all would.

"
that's it right there . Well said . Anyone who has children will know that no matter how much at fault we think them. . They have lost a daughter . Any additional hurt thrown their way is pointless and the person that hurls it only makes themself look smug or cold hearted.

At last ! Some compassion

No-one talks about Ben Needhams parents in the same light. I suppose for that little boy to have gone missing all those years ago, his parents clearly did have a close eye on him either.....

I'm saddened by a lot of what I've read in this thread. It seems that hate is much easier than compassion and I think we're all a bit poorer for it.

Life is to short to hate anyone .

I have a son who is currently fighting serious cancer for a second time he has a 4 month old baby he is desperate to see grow up.

And then you see people commit suicide .

Its very hard to understand

I completely agree. What I found despicable about their conduct was that , given their professions, they should have known better.

Is this something they did on a regular basis when at home in England?

given their professions they should have known better

what a load of crock. So a joiner would be excused?

As for all the self righteous accusing the mccanns of, at best, bad parenting skills - have a really hard look at your own kids and your own parenting skills

what a lovely person you sound . . So the parents are not bothered about losing a daughter ? You overestimate KH. . Maybe you suffer from the same delusional arrogance that she does . Whenever she's on tv or radio. . She's the one verbally slaughtered . . She has no grace or intelligent debating skills at all. May as well get john Mcrirrick to host question time ?

"love her or hate her she has an opinion that invariably gets people talking and for that reason she will always get airtime. On this topic, while the outcome was horrendous, I'm afraid she is right, leaving your kids unattended at that age in any circumstance is not right. "
Yes I

Agree and the mc canns have had to pay the Emotional price for the loss of their Daughter and always will do In their lives

I only wish something good could come out Of all this as its always been a sad story.

He was being looked after by his grandparents playing in and out of their farmhouse.

He wasn't left in an apartment with two siblings younger than him while the parents were not near.

I think they are two totally different cases but equally as sad for the children involved.

You see this I don't get....I don't know any parent who is perfect at what they do , we all make mistakes...but some of us don't and wouldn't have put our children in danger so we could eat or drink...and leaving children in this way is not something a lot of us would do.

I don't think it was a " mistake" on their part as they said themselves that Maddy had said her and the twins had woken up and cried for their parents the night before when they were out, so they spoke about it and went out again the next night anyway which had tragic consequences.

Maybe we all just have different definitions of bad parenting

If they were that bothered they'd not have left the children alone it really is that simple
