Personally don't care if they're involved / there's a conspiracy or not - they sedated their children with over the counter medication and left them alone in a strange place. They are guilty of, at the very least, horrific neglect and don't "deserve" a minute's respite from feeling like hell for the rest of their lives. If I was one of them, and had done that, and caused the death of one of my children, I wouldn't want peace.

So arrest me. I don't think it's trolling. The mere sight of them makes many people furious, and rightly so. There is only one victim here, an innocent little girl who died horribly, years ago.

That sentiment only works if it was normal for children to be left alone to be abducted. As the chance of them being abducted was less than being struck by lightning then you must also condemn any parent who allows their children outside when the atmosphere is potentially unstable, ie summertime

Don't be ridiculous. It's not just the threat of being abducted that they were risking, the biggest worry about leaving young children, babies really, is of an accident occurring while the parents were not at home with them, a fire, one of them wandering out of the house and getting lost or run over or falling etc etc

its not the same as not being at home, it was a room in a hotel complex and both parents, having looked at the scenario (one which no one else is privvy to) decided it was quite safe. I am quite sure every parent has at one point let their children out of theuir sight, it only takes 10 seconds for a child to be abducted. They, sadly, like other parents who have had children abducted were unlucky. It is clear the perp targetted them - its not like you get paedos who go round hotels looking in every room for kids.

Well first of all it wasn't a hotel room, it was an apartment. Comparing every parent having been in a situation where their child is out of their sight for a few seconds to actually leaving your children alone in an apartment for hours while you go off drinking is quite frankly pretty insulting. If there was a "perp" then of course he targeted them because he would have known they were irresponsible enough to go out and leave their babies alone for hours on end. And to make all this even worse, even if the McCanns were stupid enough to think what they were doing was perfectly safe and fine, how do you excuse the fact that only the night before maddie had told them she woke up scared and looking for them and cried when she couldn't find them but they still went off out again the following night? If my child said that to me, I would be mortified and absolutely disgusted with myself and I would certainly never do it again (not that I would ever have left my children like that anyway)

How do you know they weren't spotted leaving the night before for dinner without the children by someone who knew they had 3 children, and watched to see if they did it again?
It also wasn't a hotel but an apartment complex ... like a normal street.

This 100% .. i feel sympathy for them that they lost a child, no-one deserves that, but when you take into account what lead to her disappearance, then all respect for them as people and parents, is lost for me, they don't deserve to be left alone, if they hadn't neglected their children so they could go on the piss, then they'd still have her and i can't get past that I'm afraid, for what they did, they deserve to feel like they do.
