I know of mothers who have left their kids at home whilst theyve nipped to a neighbours house for a cuppa or to the shop for a pint of milk.

Well you know some pretty pathetic parents then

it is amazing though!

that the McCanns are the ONLY parents in the WHOLE WORLD! to ever of left a child alone ever! we arent just seeing a case about a missing child.

(Nah, theyre one of the VERY few sets of parents who would leave their kids aged only 3 years old alone for hours and hours on end just so they can go drinking with pals)

we are seeing the FIRST EVER CASE IN THE WORLD EVER! of a child being left alone for any amount of time.

(We never see the first case EVER IN THE WORLD of rape or child molestation nowdays either, does that mean nobody should be appalled at those or murder anymore then seeing as its happened before eh?)

it is an intriguing case because iv never heard of it happening before..

(Actually I agree with you there, its the first time I’ve heard of two well off parents not taking used of a provided babysitting service whilst abroad on holiday, not having their three TODDLERS with them whilst out partying AND then just ONE of those kids going missing,,,,,,,,,first time ever I HAVE heard of that scenario piece by piece)

still stick by what i said though.

most arej umping on a bandwagon started by PB hardly anyone had even dared to admit that they might be guilty until he poasted saying something wasnt right

(Well if you close your eyes and try hard enough I am sure you can see pretty much anything you want to see whether its there or not)

The point here tho, is even if there wasnt any reason to suspect the parents, even if they obviously werent involved it still wouldnt change the fact they chose to leave three kids under 3 years of age alone whilst abroad so they could go partying

That one thing stands alone irrespective of any other intricacies surrounding this particular case and there is NEVER any excuse whatsoever for doing it

And the fact you and others do seem to think that most if not all parents would do this is possibly one of the saddest aspects of this and just goes to show how commonplace half assed parents must be seeing as you claim to see it so frequently, or is that just to do with the social circles and levels you move in? Because my personal experience is the complete opposite to yours as I would expect is many other peoples

You just DONT leave toddlers alone, it really is that simple, they go where you go, and if they cant then you dont go. End of!

That is, or should be a fairly fundamental aspect of being a parent even without threats of abduction, because at that age theyre perfectly capable, able and likely to harm or kill themselves by their exploring, a fact MOST parents are fully aware of, infact even being in the next room to a toddler for an extended period of time is dangerous enough, and I know several people who even go as far as taking their kids to the toilet with them or make them stand outside wjilst keeping a conversation going just to be on the safe side when they are that age

As I said earlier, it doesnt matter if by your guesstimation many or even most parents WOULD do what the Mcanns did, its no different to rape, murder or child molestation, NO AMOUNT of instances ever makes it “right”, acceptable or something that should just be brushed off and tolerated. Every instance is just as abhorrent as the very first time any piss poor self absorbed parent did it and the 100 millionth case isnt any less abhorrent than the first, unless there ends up being too many people like you who encourage this sort of behaviour and MAKE it become majoratively acceptable over time by your apathy towards it and your trivialisation of it

But if you really think this is so “ok” I really and sincerely hope no child is ever unfortunate enough to be parented by you ever and would have no qualms whatsoever voting for a law that had any person who did have a view like this about child care who couldnt see the error in it steralised permanently and banned from ever being allowed to look after children at any point in their lives

Its about time people were made, or better yet actually wanted to shoulder the responsibilities that come with each and every right, but failing that I would settle for them being made to shoulder it or face a far harsher activity instead

Bit of a shock for team McCann eh?

I wonder whether ladbrokes were giving odds on this outcome :lol:

If i had lost a child, i wouldn’t be visiting the pope, i’d gather a days worth of food and drink, and i would would be scouring the area untill bedtime, everyday.

Whatever the recent developments, we still don’t know any more of the truth.

One important factor concerning the samples found in the car hired 25 days after Madeleine’s disappearance: If the car was hired locally there is a chance that it might have been hired previously during those 25 days by someone else who could have transported Madeleine.

The last part of your post seems a bit far fetched and unlikely.

I agree though that were still no further to finding the truth. Gonna have to wait, and see what forensic “evidence” there is.

I still cant see it. These are people who have been in the Media Spotlight since the day their Daughter vanished. This is a body were talking about. It’s not an easy thing to dispose of especially with a Media Circus camped around you.
This would have only left a few hours for them to bury a Body, concoct a story, and then to face the World , and tell the world that their Daughter had been taken, whilst holding it together knowing that they’d accidentely killed their Daughter.
No I still dont believe it.

But we dont know that they arent both sociopathic for a start, in which case they would see their daughters death as an inconvenience, one that could affect their careers and just needs to be taken care of so there wouldnt be any need for them to “hold it together” in that instance as to them it would just seem as serious as tho they had broken an ornament

The fact they havent exactly seemed distraught alone could signify some form of sociopathy or a general dissassociative personality dissorder of another kind, and people like that do tend to be drawn to others with a similar psychology as other people would be freaked out by their stark coldness and lack of emotion

So as with every other aspect of this, no conclusions can be drawn from them “holding it together” as they might not even need to in the first place
