Havnt seen anything recently. The whole case never sat very comfortably with me. If it is all as tbe parents say its terrible, but still tbe parents have to take a massive amount of critism. Unfortunately i have never been able to take to the parents with their attitude of blaming everyone else and the way they court publicity is horrible. Personally deeply deeply suspicious that they are more involved than they admit to.

I have never seen all the case papers, the police reports and the evidence.

so, I never add to the conspiracy theories.

They were fucking stupid to leave the child, but I hope they do get the news one day they seek. The torment everyday must be unbearable.

as it is for all families missing a loved one.

Maybe I'm being overly protective but I think it's mindboggling insensitive to speculate conspiracy theories about the loss of a child in the name of creating media driven sensationalism....

Who made the documentaries and what we're their sources? What evidence did they give to substantiate whatever claims they made.

If our daughter went missing I would court as much publicity as possible until the day I died and I wouldn't give two hoots if anybody liked me or not.

I havent seen that documentry (when was it on and what channel, would like to see if i can get it on catch up) but i have read the book that kate did. I have to say from reading that my stance changed. I had always thought they were involved and or at fault. Reading that changed my mind.

Also the big thing about how a parent could leave children alone. Reading that and seeing the distsnce and the checks that were made also changed my mind.

As i said tho i would like to see the documentary what was it on?

Unfortunately there have been a large number of cases where the so called grieving parent or relative has been the offender in the case, and they have invariably sought and manipulated the media. One has to be sceptical in all these cases now.

I don't think she is alive but that's just me...there are many theory around her disappearance..I know they did a video using dogs and thry sniffed out blood etc..who knows what happened to that little girl...I do believe that the parents were idiots but they have to live with that for the rest of their life.

Doubt they got in trouble for child neglect or had their other kids taken away to protect them from neglect either.

Tbh they either desperately want to find their child (who wouldn't) or they're fucked in the head and trying to prove their innocence knowing where she really is. Don't really give a shit myself either way. They're nothing to do with me.

I would never leave a load of babies alone in a apartment by themselves, fucking over-selfish idiots they are.

I dont believe for 1 second the parents DID leave her.

I think something happened either deliberate or otherwise and the girl is dead.

They strike me as 2 people who have come up with a story and thought "right we've GOT to stick to it".

Everytime I see them in the media I smell such Bull shit.

They always seem too calm to me. A bit too compliant.

They both look like they know exactly what's happened.

I do hope we aren't going to see loads of posts from people using YouTube videos and media reports as evidence that they know more about what went on than the police. If it is a conspiracy just how many people would need to be involved in it and would that be possible without one of them wanting to make a fortune by selling their story to one of these many documentary makers?

Got to say that thought had crossed my mind.. They appear to be responsible parents - not the type to leave their children alone..Did some awful accident happen, they panicked and came up with a plan to cover it up as to not go to prison for their other children sake?

Who knows - either way, the poor girl has gone and they have to live with that loss and guilt for the rest of their lives..

They don't appear to be horrible people to me. Just people who made some horribly wrong choices. Choices they now got to live with..

I know that the circumstances are different but it appears tbat people havnt learnt, dont know the full details but letting a 7year old ski down the Alps on his own didnt seem to be the wisest of decisions, well it has been proved now to be a fatal decision.

They were not bad people. They are not neglectful parents. They are good parents.

IF they did leave her as they say they did, then they made ONE hell of a stupid mistake in not having the foresight to realise a pedophile would be watching.

It amazed me the amount of misdirected blame that victims often fall foul of which doesn't help solve a case at all. In fact it muddies waters.

Look for the killer or killers. It may be them who knows? but FFS can we stop with the moralising and oooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhh ing about who would and who wouldn't leave a child alone. It doesn't solve anything.

I disagree i think that its a valid point, they are articulate and have managed to dodge taking any responsibility for the circumstances. At best they were careless and selfish, putting their own enjoyment for the night above the health and safety of all their young children.

They've been "slaughtered" by the press and public opinion far more in my opinion than they would have been were they salt of the earth working class types.

People who suggest they should have had their other children taken off them and the reason that they haven't is because they're middle class should probably find out more about the circumstances in which social services actually remove children from their families.

They take them when there's a danger to the child. This can be because of neglect or abuse. They try to keep them within the family, rather than adopt them out. Might have been arranged privately for other family members to be with the kids at all times, without the need for court. Seen that happen to a lot of people, they stay with their kids but also another adult is responsible for the kids welfare.

I think Maddie is dead, but I've no real idea if the parents were more involved than they portray. I stand by innocent until proven guilty though.

There are many other child disappearance/murder cases that have many mysteries surrounding them. Two off the top of my head - Azaria Chamberlain in Australia in 1980. At one stage her mother was put on trial , but in the end they concluded a dingo did kill her.

Ben Needham - disappeared in 1991 from Kos . Still not found. To me very similar to Maddie - yet his family don't seem to get ripped to pieces like the McCann's do.

I just hope , Maddie didn't or isn't suffering, wherever she is.

I'm not sure how much 'chose' there is about it - given the amount of damnation of them as people that there had been in the press, and some of the _iews expressed on this thread even, could they really go back to the day job?

They were suspects yes, and people knew this and chose to donate anyway so I don't really see how that's relevant. No one is or was forced to donate. I didn't, because I think it's a job for the police.

Would you use the money donated to searching for her on your mortgage though..?

Yes. My other child would need security and a home and I think that would help in the search.

Perhaps they wanted their other children to have the stability of staying in their family home?

Yes they could have done all those things while searching for a missing child but it wouldn't have been easy. I find it difficult to find it ing heart to condemn them for remaining in their own home. I don't condemn that disabled chap who was mugged for using donated money to live in a better house either.

Well that's just speculation, and incorrect at that. He was a consultant working for the NHS, and went back to work in around 2008 I think. After spending over a million pounds on their living expenses.

If you are of the opinion that a charity can do with any donated money whatever they please, then we are simply of a different opinion on the matter.

I don't think they were involved by the way, other than minor neglect which unfortunately resulted in a major tragedy. Just commenting on the media shitstorm surrounding the whole thing.

If the money was donated specifically to fund private investigators etc then no it shouldn't have been spent on a mortgage. It wasn't though, it was for the McCann's cause as a whole, which in my _iew includes funding them to keep doing what they were doing which was focusing on raising awareness/publicity and fighting legal cases, rather than working full time. But as I said, I chose not to donate.

I stand by the person who said it.

You are making wild claims that have no basis in ...........well ...... anything.

Please answer me these simple questions.....

2. What power did they have?

3. Why did they want to use it to cover up the disappearance of a little girl?

No question if they had been poor they would have been vilified, and rightly because what they did was despicable.

What does it for me is not that they went to that bar, they had the means and the opportunity to have them supervised and they didn't.

But that throws another twist, why? Is that the plan to be vilified as selfish parents, instead of being in prison.

If these kids are under the age of three then yes i agree with you, apart from the babysitter comment because you're getting someone else to be responsible for them for you.

People need to have some common sense really, kids can do certain things at appropriate maturity. Babies need looking after, not to the point of helicopter parent but also not to the point of being dumped in an apartment by themselves where no-one responsible can hear them.

I'd never steal from my kid to fund my lifestyle and i'd never leave any baby on it's own like they did, so no we're not all like the mcanns. I'm selfish now i can be and that's good enough for me, they should have been selfish when they could be not just because they wanted to be.

They paid a price for it, unfortunately so did an innocent child.

Has any parent on here ever left ur kids upstairs in bed while asleep and gone down the bottom of the garden to enjoy the last bit of sun for that day? Sat with a glass of wine talking to ur partner or a friend on the phone?

I have been to plenty of parties in a friends very large garden. Kids will be asleep upstairs while we all sit out talking and have never once thought the kids were unsafe. But i now know the distance of us being in the garden and the mcanns and other families who did the same was much further.

I think people are too quick to judge them as neglectful parents when in reality alot do the same but can somehow defend the way they do it to the way the mcanns did.

as far as I know they paid two mortgage payments from the fund and as soon as the Portuguese named them as suspects took no more for that reason, this was decided by directors of the fund. One of the objectives of the fund (which I'm guessing was available for anyone donating to see) was to provide financial support for the family. Gerry McCann returned to work 6 months after she went missing, if my daughter went missing six months would barely be time for me to be able to function as a human being let alone as a surgeon.

For various reasons. So I didnt donate.

I was going to make the ( to me ) very obvious point before..... that all parents who .....

Go to bed before their kids

Send a kid to the shops

Let them walk to school on their own

Nip next door

Go for a bath

Leave them with babysitters or neighbours or even a bloody playgroup worker......

are all guilty if the Mccanns are.

I said CHILD or CHILDREN. I didn't say of Maddie's age.

Children of all ages are abducted, get murdered or injured not just the under fives.

The age group most likely to get into grief when left alone are the 12's up. The little ones mostly sleep.

You missed out the one of , leave three small children in an apartment abroad while go eat and drink every night.

I know which one I think is unacceptable. Sadly a little girl was lost for the parents being irresponsible, but it is ok as other people let children go to bed while they are downstairs.

"so watched a couple of documentrys on the "abduction" of maddie mcann ..the amount of info the press left out was unbelievable .i thought it was a straight cut case but the more i looked into it the more bogus it looked ....why did this little girl get so much publicity wen kids go missin daily all round the world ??? ......anyone else seen anything on this n wud like to throw there opinions in ...m.n.m. x "
. This is a very sad case and it is surprising that people are prepared to speculate as to what happened . Both parents were educated and intelligent and I am sure that they were very good parents . Whilst the children were left unattended during the course of the meal , they were in a holiday complex and regular checks were made. This hardly amounts to neglect . On a simplistic basis the child appears to have gone missing by abducted and it is rather offensive to even speculate that the parents were involved .

If the money had been donated for that then yes i would.

If i'd asked for it for another reason then no i wouldn't, as that's fraud. Obviously i'd do what normal people do and ive within my means, even if that meant moving or renting.

It wasn't donated for that reason, and as such there was justified outrage at the time.

Not surprised they became suspects after doing that. Looks like they were benefitting financially from her going missing/possibly being dead.

Surprised they even got to keep their other kids, they're prety fucked up morally.

Yeah they had to make it public, it was a non-profitting business they set up and donations had to be accounted for, maybe they could claim the house as an expense if they were working from it?

Not sure why doing something suspicious, then stopping doing it when caught makes you look less suspicious.

I didn't miss it out. I was comparing other forms of children being on their own.

I don't accept that what they did was right. I don't accept it was responsible parenting.

I don't think blaming them for it helps the case any.

It's like blaming the people who are burgled for sleeping with their door unlocked. Blaming the car owners because they left their keys in an insecure place. Blaming and old woman for having a handbag on her arm. Blaming a woman for wearing a skirt and making the rapists job easy.

No one knows what happened and focussing on their 'neglect' doesn't solve anything. I said it earlier.

I don't think the McCann's administered the fund I think it was/is a team of directors. They didn't stop because they were caught they stopped because they were named suspects in the disappearance of their daughter.

There is another fund that people like Richard Branson have donated to.

As I pointed out above to someone else..... I didn't say of Maddie's age.

Other ages are still children and still subject to abuse, neglect and mishap.

It's an excellent comparison.

People are determined to blacken the McCanns for leaving their children. I'd say leaving them was wrong. The point im making is that everyone does it in some form every day.

Over thirty years ago. I went to Butlins with my family. I left my twin daughters asleep 'happy' in the knowledge that the baby sitting service would alert me if they heard crying.

With hindsight - I dread to think what could have happened to my girls.

If the , then unvetted, baby patrollers had been , d*unk, having sex, pedophiles, too lazy to walk around. Or even if my daughters had just got up and fallen or electrocuted themselves .... ??? it beggars belief in the light of the McCann case. It's what EVERYONE did then and many allow their children out of their sight at many times during the day.

But your comparison isn't the same as your following posts have said ie age of the child.

Your other comparisons are not the same either.

The only comparison is if when your child were small and you left them on their own while going to the pub for your tea.

I am guessing they beat themselves up every day about doing the same thing but it doesn't change facts, some parents are irresponsible and they were

Yeah i saw there was two funds, tbh a lot came up around the fraud and half of it was daily mail links, i refuse to click on them. Hardly saw anything i could count on as a reliable source.

I think thats the crux of it, some people didn't leave their children and what they did will be alien to them ( ie us as being the not leaving the kids ) and some parents ( like you) think it is ok to do.

Hence the difference in how one half of us think it is not the right thing to do and the other half defending what they did.

They obviously thought it was acceptable too

See that's the bit that bugs me most about the vilification of the McCanns. When I saw them on TV where other people saw cold or smug or "too calm" or whatever, I saw grief etched all over their faces. Just because they weren't wriging their hands wailing and screaming somehow that makes their pain less genuine? I have never, ever seen my mother cry. Or my dad. I don't cry at much at all. I've been told I'm a cold fish. I'm not, I just don't express myself that way so I don't cry at weddings and funerals. It doesn't mean that I, or they, don't love or feel pain.

People express pain, sorrow and grief in completely different ways, and it's absolutely disgusting that the McCanns have been condemned by so many for not behaving the way most people say 'they' would if something so horrific happened to them.

I don't know. There's obviously more to the story than we know. I think some things seem suspicious but that's based on only a fraction of the information, much of which came from media sources so will have been reported for controversy rather than accuracy.

I don't watch documentaries on it, (because, again, they're all skewed for some aim or other), and I pay little attention to what's reported about it.

I'll leave it at I don't know and go back to not thinking much about it.
