But I've said that before in one of the other anti-McCann threads. They were wrong to leave their child, totally wrong. But I can't join in this metaphorical slaughtering every time their name comes up.

I'm obviously not trying to offend anyone but I'd personally still say she made a mistake. I'm not even saying she is to blame for what happened to him in the slightest but a mistake was still made on her part to leave a young child alone outside a busy shop which ended up being a grave mistake.

I'm not even necessarily comparing the two, the McCanns neglect was far worse but the fundamental point, for me, is that people dropped the ball and made mistakes, my only question is why are the McCanns literally thrown to the lions every time their mistake is brought up and called every nasty name imaginable yet other parents who made mistakes too get nothing but out pourings of compassion.

This topic has been done to death so I think my in-depth views on it are probably known, so all I'll reiterate is this: The "abduction theory" - and YES, it is a theory, there is absolutely zero evidence for it other than the fact that she went missing - is about as credible as her having been eaten by a chupacabra or sucked into the nether-realms by Thinman.

Exaaaaactly, any number of things could go wrong and are likely to go wrong when you leave 3 babies alone like that, even the night before something went wrong when all three woke up alone and scared, kate and Gerry knew this but still left them the following night

Exactly. Infact there is more evidence to support the theory of her having died in the apartment than any other theory - the cadaver dogs

Yeah like an abduction by Navy Seal trained ghost paedophiles or perhaps,

just as an out there thought,

drowsily clambering onto a couch and falling off the back, hitting your head on the rock solid slab flooring they have in Algarve resorts, bleeding out on the floor only to be discovered later by someone who may or may not panic for reasons which may or may not include the suspect-yet-surprisingly-common practice of sedating children with small doses over the counter meds used, for example, as a solution if they had awoken confused and distressed the previous evening.

It's probably the first one of course, anything else is pretty far fetched. Everyone knows that paedophiles have had stealth tech for years.

I know right? Ghost paedophiles are the most obvious choice, has to be that then

I'm disgusted by the parents in every possible way. not just the fact they and several other parents abandoned their babies night after night to go drinking , leaving the apartment door unlocked....not just the fact the kids were allegedly giving stuff to sleep, not just the fact they are endlessly vague about whether the door or windows were left open...The endless contradictions and holes in their stories, the alleged delays in starting the search the alleged fact they sat around in the living room immediately after shed gone missing which hindered the search and allegedly damaged much dna evidence in the room...then the use of the funds to wipe out anyone who dare question their versions of events or in fact anyone who dare even criticize these awful parents.....
even the fact they have never seemed particularly regretful or apologetic for their absurd irresponsible actions. they have an attitude of self pity denial and aggression too...going to celebrities to find a missing person and the pope is crazy. all it did was make the kidnapper even more determined to hide Maddie if she was taken. they should have worked wih the detectives far better from day 1 minute 1....just awful

This is very true, some of their actions make very littlke sense, e.g. they were explicitly told by the Portuguese police that it would be a bad idea to inform the public about her distinctive eye as it could lead to any kidnapper hurting her to cover it up or simply disposing of her in fear of being caught. They went ahead and did it anyway. And have carried on in that way since then - gone for huge publicity rather than truting investigators to do their job, ensuring that if she WAS taken and alive, any kidnapper would be very aware of how high profile the case had become. They were told that - if someone has been taken and is alive - it's best to allow a kidnapper to believe that they've successfully evaded the authorities and then track them down covertly. If they know they're in the spotlight, the victim has no chance. They didn't seem to care - perhaps because they were perfectly aware that she was already dead?

Kate McCann especially looks broken to me.

They couldn't even give a tenner for a babysitting service that night,i don't know what happened to that child,but I certainly don't believe she was abducted.She doesn't look too broken to me Amy,this is 9 days after she 'disappeard' http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GOJLVfAdmr...s_birthday.jpg

That picture says Maddy's birthday, perhaps she put on a brave face. Almost every picture I have seen of her she looks unhappy.

100% spot on, once its in the hands of the hysterical mass media you've got no chance
