Madeleine McCann
Hope all the McCann family haters are now reconsidering their earlier unfounded assumptions against Madelaine’s parents being directly responsible for disappearance/murder.

Re: Madeleine McCann
But you don’t know if they are horrible people or not.What they did was a terrible mistake similar to what other parents have done and will continue to do. They consider it a calculated risk that they are in control of. They weren’t in control. Millions of parents do similar. Just surprised that similar hasn’t happened at a ‘Butlin’s type’ holiday with their ‘chalet patrols’.

Re: Madeleine McCann
Have they found her yet?
We can go over this again if you really want too, people have picked their side and it's been discussed on here several times.
The simple fact is they left their kids alone in an apartment in a foreign country whilst they were round the corner with their mates having a meal.
Millions of us wouldn't do the same.

Re: Madeleine McCann
Parents often take their eyes off their children in one way or another. On the beach, at the fairground. A parent might be out with children and need to go to the toilet, leaving them alone for a few seconds. For any child murders, where were the parents? Why were those children in vulnerable situations?

Until she's found we will never know.
It was only the other day there was a media story about someone who was adamant they'd seen a girl with the same eye discolouration a couple of years ago somewhere else.
There's been so many claims about her going around.

Oh, and check your parents. If they let go of your hand at an age where you were vulnerable, then add them to your list.

Re: Madeleine McCann
For what it's worth, I don't think they killed her, accidently or otherwise, nor hid the body etc.
They're just bad parents who made a really shocking decision to place their own needs above that of their children's.

Re: Madeleine McCann
Breuckner is finally a valid suspect, although I suspect it will be a while until all the loose ends are tied up if ever. I hope they will be able to charge him and put him on trial. I hope that either Madeleine or her body is found and that those who accused her parents will be more gracious towards them in their suffering rather than feel the need to judge them.

I know I was 6 the first time I remember being left alone in a hotel room on the ground floor. I doubt it was locked either. People did that, then, even though the child abduction and murder rate was higher than it is now. There was no doubt a time when "normal" turned into "evil and you got what you deserve" in this Twitter-led universe, but I find it hard to be quite so dogmatic about the year, the day, the second when the change happened.

They were murdered by someone they knew, it was a very different case to what happened in Portugal, you know that but for some reason you think it's a valid comparison when really it isn't.
As far as I'm aware the circumstances around Madeline's abduction have never happened before or since, but I could be wrong.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I regularly see kids on bikes outside their homes, close to traffic, often seemingly unsupervised by an adult, maybe a slightly older sibling. But adult supervision is a subject on it’s own. I just hope that the McCann’s are treated better in future. Despite their catastrophic error I applaud their stamina in their search for the answers they have been seeking. A couple of publications might be a few pennies poorer in the not too distant future. At least the mystery seems close to being solved now.
Re: Madeleine McCann
That's rather the point. The McCanns didn't take sufficient precautions against something that had never happened before. There isn't a definitive line where someone one side of the line is evil and someone the other side of the line is good. It's a graduation, and just because the McCanns were the unlucky family among the many who are the "wrong" side of the line drawn by the self-righteous, does not make them evil.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:35 amIf they weren't safe then at what age do you stop walking your kids to the local shop?

I suppose what it boils down to is that my parents did the same as the McCanns, so if I am to agree that the McCanns were evil people who deserved to lose their child, then I would have to accept that my parents were too. I am not prepared to accept that.

Re: Madeleine McCann
The local Portuguese police didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory. In my opinion they were so intent on blaming the parents they took their eye off the ball and allowed the kidnapper to evade them. The head of the local police has even written a book saying there was no abduction and the parents killed her and disposed of the body.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I remember being left alone with my little brother in the apartment while my mum and dad were having late night drinks by the pool in Greece. They took turns checking on us every hour or so. I must’ve been around 6 or 7.
At the time, id say it was normal behaviour, there’s an illusion of safety - hence why I think why the family was targeted.
I’ve talked about it to my parents since this horrible case and there’s no way they’d do it now. I have 7 year olds myself and I don’t think I’d leave them in an holiday apartment alone. I think it was just a different time.
Although the McCanns will blame themselves, is not helpful with the online hate they get by all these Parents or Years who say they are the ones responsible.

Re: Madeleine McCann
That's more believable than the abduction, evidence doesn't support either circumstance to be fair, I believe the child accidentally swallowed something & choked or was poisoned resulting in a possible death there's no evidence to support that theory as well, neglect resulted in the child's death & then concealed.karatekid wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 1:00 amThe local Portuguese police didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I was talking with the mrs the other day about something similar. Her second cousin's 3 year old daughter was staying with her grandparents and drowned in their pool. The grandmother left the little girl playing on the living room floor in front of the telly. She was only gone two minutes.
It's so easy to start blaming in these situations, why hadn't they installed a barrier or a pool alarm? Why didn't they check that the doors were all locked before leaving the little one? You can imagine the tension between the mother and her partners parents.
..and then of course you get the comments like "That could never have happened to me, I'd never have left my kids without supervision", it's a natural response we have to believe that others have made a mistake because we don't want to think that it could just as easily have happened to us.
I know this is different because it is an act of pure evil and not an accident and assuming that this suspect is proved to be her killer then you can only imagine the number of times that the McCanns must have wished that they hadn't gone out that night. Believing that you were at fault for the death of your own offspring is a terrible price to pay for being a less than perfect parent.

There’s also the false sense of security in hotels/apartment complexes. They and Madeleine payed the huge price for it.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I watched the Netflix special and saw plenty of tears.
That’s actually irrelevant though. Essentially you are saying that in your opinion somebody hasn’t cried enough in public. How do you judge what would be acceptable?
I’ll have the point regarding child neglect but don’t think that pushing for such a conviction amidst all the other stuff surrounding this case would be best use of police time/resources and of the public purse.
Whether you like them or not, nobody will regret what happened more than the McCann’s.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I think before we even begin to discuss the conduct of the McCanns post abduction we fully acknowledge the horrendous parenting and decision making that led to this situation. That there were younger children in the room, that by the grace of God they weren’t subjected to the same possible fate of Madeline, and that it is parenting 101 to keep your child safe and mitigate any possible harm that might befall them AT ALL TIMES.Darnhill Claret wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:39 amI regularly see kids on bikes outside their homes, close to traffic, often seemingly unsupervised by an adult, maybe a slightly older sibling.

Equating a child on a bike unsupervised to leaving sleeping babies and a toddler in a room unsupervised whilst you went for dinner is silly. The two are so far removed they can’t be compared.
Yes there’s danger cycling near traffic, but you’d have hoped the parents have invested time Into mitigating the danger by practicing riding, explaining the dangers, ensuring safety equipment is worn, and testing their skills to ensure they’re of an adequate standard to be as safe as they could be.
Madeline wasn’t given even the opportunity to be safeguarded, she was a sleeping child.
And if this had happened in this country or In a british territory both parents would be facing (and yet may be) facing prosecution under the safeguarding and child protection laws.
Now let’s get into their conduct post incident, it’s downright diabolical. No further comment needed, they may well have been badly advised, they may well have made permanent decisions on temporary emotions, but their behaviour and the behaviour of those around them has shown them to be firmly self entitled fools who have sought to profit from a tragedy of their own making.
They failed to exercise there duty as parents to ALL of their children.
Re: Madeleine McCann
Plenty are defending the McCann's though aren't they, saying many parents have done the same thing and it was a genuine mistake?claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:26 pmIn what way ? I know you can't help yourself with whataboutery but are you actually claiming there are many on here who would defend someone going the pub and leaving their kids behind ?

Re: Madeleine McCann
Of course it was a genuine mistake. No excuse.
A hugely idiotic and tragic mistake and one they'll have to come to terms with every day of their lives.
They took a reckless risk and, I don't know what the odds of a child being abducted in such circumstances are, lost.
I hate the fact that some posters on here seem to be taking real pleasure from what the McCann's are going through.
The family are "self-entitled" and are even making a "profit" from the whole tragedy apparently. Ffs,grow up.

All a conspiracy theory is, is a different opinion to your own.
