It's not a case of me believing any particular theory, for all I know they might be guilty (although personally I think it's very unlikely). What I'm saying is that noone can be certain either way because there simply isn't the evidence. Just a bunch of stuff that looks kinda dodgy and I don't think that's enough to condemn someone as a child murderer.

Because  Middle Class British Folks! How dare you suggest they are anything other than exemplary parents. You must simply believe the also entirely assumed / guesswork narrative that Maddie was abducted. There is ZERO EVIDENCE that she was abducted by a paedophile. The evidence is that she was left alone in a room, and that she silently disappeared from that room while her siblings were left asleep and unharmed. That's it. That's the whole story, as far as 100% verified evidence goes.
But it's fine to theorise that she was abducted by MI5 trained stealth Gypsy paedophiles... just don't dare theorise that anyone else had anything to do with it

There's nothing wrong with theorising if that's all it is, and if people are aware that their theories are simply that. It can become dangerous when people start to believe their theories and go on to perpetuate them as fact, when the result is someone being labeled a child killer.
