But take into account the facts people go on holiday to relax and have a good time
You don’t going on holiday thinking your kids are going to be kidnapped or murdered because that is not normal

They made a mistake it was not purposeful neglect

Criminal negligence has nothing to do with purposeful harm, the basics are;

1) There was a bad outcome
2) It resulted from an action that it can be reasonably said that anyone would know is risky.

I just don't buy that many people don't know that leaving young children alone like that is risky. Any number of things could happen, from a fire to one of them simply wandering off. They weren't even 8-year-olds with some ability at self preservation, Madeleine was the oldest and she was three years old.

Even the "letting kids play out" argument falls apart. Yes it's a good idea to let kids play out. But you wouldn't let a 3 year old play in the street with their 1 year old siblings. It's madness.

I really don't understand why you continue to defend the Mcanns?. Would you still be as sympathetic ,if it was 2 lower class people on benefits who drink alot? .

Because I bet you anything the child services would have taken away their other 2 children, and considered them Unfit parents.

Yes you don't go on holiday expecting your kids to be kidnapped,but surely you'd be more alert and have your wits about you .

There is no good reason to leave 3 BABIES alone! in a holiday home in a different place . Even if they were back in the UK in their own surroundings it STILL would have been very risky, so why put your children in further danger,it makes no sense.

Which is why I think both parents were selfish & neglectful ,and you'll never persuade me otherwise.

This has nothing to do with social status and it’s nothing to do with defending the McCanns

Its looking at the bigger picture, no one on is the perfect parent even if you think you are

This is my last post on this subject because I’m bored with all you lot trying to preach
