No Sharon. They made a mistake that their daughter will pay for until she dies; that is if she hasn,t already. Lets not forget, it,s their incompetence and negligence that caused all this in the first place. If they had used the babysitting or creche facilities that were offered, then none of this would ever have happened. Of course if they hadn,t been so bloody selfish and thought of nothing but having a nice cosy little meal without the kids disturbing them, it wouldn,t have happened either.
Pages and pages of comments about how negligent the Mcanns have been and hardly a word about the perpetrators of this sad event. I think they realise by now that it was a mistake to leave their child alone for a short time dont you but instead of placing 100% of the blame onto their shoulders why dont you shift your attention to the fact that there are people out there who make this world a very scary and dangerous place to live. To the point where parents would rather their children spend hours in the house watching TV or playing playstation instead of them being able enjoy a full and active childhood in the company of other children in the parks and streets surrounding our houses. You all go on about how you would NEVER leave your child unnattended for a minute of the day but how many of you have children from the age of say 6 years and upwards who let them play out on the streets with children of a similair age. They are ALL in just as much danger but would you expect the blame of your child being taken by some weirdo being placed firmly on your shoulders if all you were doing was giving them the option to enjoy an active and fulfilling life instead of being held prisoner in the four walls of your house?
The appartment was within clear view of the restaurant. They were checked at regular half hour intervals and without the kind of people who carry out these sick events they would have been otherwise pefectly safe.

Fasty the resturant wasn,t in clear view of the apartment atall. The McCanns said they were checked at regular intervals. If they had been checked as regularly as they said they were, it would have been almost impossible for someone to break in and snatch Maddie. But hey, they didn,t have to break in did they? Because those two negligent useless excuses for parents, left the bloody patio doors unlocked so anyone could get in. And they would have been perfectly safe, if they hadn,t been so selfish and had put the safety and wellbeing of their children first, and used the FREE babysitting service or the creche, or alternitavely, shock horror, stayed in the apartment with their kids and ate there instead of strolling off down the road, to enjoy the evening sunshine and a nice cosy little meal with their friends. Yes, whoever did this is evil beyond belief, no one is arguing with that, but they wouldn,t have had the chance if the McCanns hadn,t left them alone in the first place.
I?m sorry about this but I have a slightly different take on all of this. The thing that I simply CANNOT get my brain around is “why Maddie???”
Allegedly this was the only time that she was (criminally) left unattended by her parents, and allegedly it was only for 30-50 minutes or so – so why was she “targeted”??? …. as opposed to any other child in the village.
I still have this awful feeling that any harm that has probably come to her has done so from somebody that she knew …. somebody that was close to her ….. family??? friend of the family???? who knows.
I am constantly reminded of the Police tactic in the UK of putting a suspected parent / relative in a press conference to tell the world how awful they feel and what a terrible thing has happened and to plead with the perpetrator to contact the Police with information leading to etc etc …. when they were the guilty party all the time.
The Police usually do this sort of thing so as to totally undermine any defence the guilty person may have.
Just a thought ….. !!!!!

This is why I think the issue people keep mentioning about the lack of tears is just not an issue. How many “victims” have we seen breaking down and for it then to turn out they were the criminal? Tears, or the lack of mean nothing.
Yea there are people out there who make the world a dangerous and scarey place to be Fast, and no ones arguing that whoever took this little girl is wicked beyond belief, it goes without saying.
It still doesn’t remove from the fact though, that their parents left them! in an apartment which was unlocked! why not lock it fgs! then no one, other than anyone having a key, would have been able to gain entry, would they? well i’d imagine not without causing damage which would have perhaps alerted someone, a passer by.
AGAIN! what about the other two, the twins,,,,,,,believe me, i’d personally not let them out of my sight, i’d probably take them to the nursery, but i’d also probably camp myself outside somewhere, until it was time to collect them. These two,,,,nahhhhh, they go off to have an audience with the pope! oh yea! thats going to help Maddie isn’t it!! they go off on these jaunts to publicise it. I don’t think there was anyone who didn’t know about her dissapearance within days of it happening, worldwide! unless of course you live in a cave in outer mongolia somewhere. Were all these jaunts really necessary?? or merely to serve their own selfish gratification.
I am reminded of Soham in all this. Guilty parties infront of cameras, lying through their teeth.
Whatever happened in Portugal, at this stage ‘blame’ is immaterial. What matters is that a small child is still missing, and if still alive is probably terrified and missing her parents and siblings. If dead, let us hope she didn’t suffer, the poor innocent little mite.
It makes me ashamed to be member of the human race when things like this happen.
the only thing i do agree with is that no mother i know of checks their child every 30 minutes when the kid says im gonna go to the field and play football or whatever or im going to go ride my bike..
maybe its a foreign country thing?

Ave to disagree with that point Token, she was three and no Mother I know would let a child of that age do that sort of thing, never mind leave them there.
Older kids yes.
It’s a sad state of affairs when folks can use all of their energy blaming the parents
As i mentioned about 20 pages previously – it’s the bastrd(s) who took her who are to blame
All you are doing is hitting an easy target – the parents will pay for their misjudgement for the rest of their livesIt’s easy to make a mistake – thankfully nothing much usually comes of them
