Definitely not the same

I'm certainly not 'gleeful' , anyone losing a child must be unbearable pain ... especially knowing they were likely suffering & scared in their last moments.

The comparison was merely a class & background comparison , I know the Shannon Matthews case isn't the same. But Karen Mathews was proven an unfit unemployed / on benefit not very bright parent....and social services was involved & several of her kids were put into care ..if I'm not mistaken?.

The McCann's neglected all 3 of their children , so you would think child services would have given them a knock on the door. It happened in Portugal...but still there must be some concerns raised over the safety of their other children?. But the McCann's are 2 intelligent well presented , financially secure people with respectable good jobs.

I think classism plays a part , I know not everyone will agree with me.

Spot on

I'm not familiar with that case but it doesn't sound like the same,but this is the point I'm making....the fact that even in a family
friendly home setting horrible crimes can still happen.

Then surely as a parent/s you'd be alot more careful & wary and would think twice about leaving your kids alone like that, especially small children who need constant supervision :shrug:.

I wasn't referring to you with the "gleeful" comment.

I would never leave my kids alone and the fact they did was shameful, i just feel more hate is aimed at the McCanns than at the person who took the little girl.

Yes, perhaps classism plays a part in this kind of thing. It does in so many things.

Hopefully they can finally resolve this case.

Many doubt that.

I know.

But I just hope for everyone that's personally involved, that they finally get the closure that they deserve.

An independent reporter Jon Clarke
spoke live from Portugal.

This area the German Police are at today
has not been searched.


For 10 years near that location
The arrested one (Christian Brueckner) in Germany
lived there.

Hmm, Gerry McCann - that's all I'm saying...

And have been saying since Maddie went 'missing'.

Also have their reporter there.

Agreed

Madeleine McCann cops in Portugal are ‘probing NEW suspect’
 

Na

I simply cannot and refuse to believe that the parents were involved in her disappearance other than making a very poor decision on the night

I think the kids were all sedated so the parents could drink uninterrupted. And Madeleine had a fall. And it was too late to do anything about it by the time of the next 'check'(which were not every 15 mins)

Yes that why it would be easy to carry her out of that room
into a Van.


For Example

I just can’t believe stuff like that .. there were known paedos in the area .. too easy to walk around at night and take a child ..presumably the guy had been observing the family or many families behaviour

I doubt they will ever get closure, even if the mystery is solved. I doubt they will ever be able to forgive themselves for the errors they made that night.
