The mcCann's behaviour & actions from the beginning have been questionable and very bizarre.
I will never understand how parent's can leave their very young children alone in an apartment while on holiday in a foreign country as they go out for drinks with their friends . If Madeline WAS kidnapped , the parent's were the ones that made it very easy to happen by abandoning their kids home alone . But i don't think we'll ever find out what really happened. |

No LT but then again my neighbour isn't likely to be arrested for not looking after their house properly either

"Millions" certainly don't do it, I've never done it and would never dream of it and I literally don't personally know any parent who would. I know SOME people do it but I'd say the exact same about them; they're being reckless. It is NOT "perfectly safe" even if you take the risk of abduction out of the equation. What if there's a fire? Or any other emergency? Hell what if one of them simply wakes up scared from a nightmare and can't find their parents anywhere? It's just not OK . It's also not "victim blaming" comparable to sexual assault either. Parental responsibility is not comparable to individual responsibility, for a start, and also as above the risks of leaving a child alone go WAY beyond the risk of being attacked. What you could compare it to, is a parent failing to put a seatbelt on their child and then that child dying in what would otherwise have been a non-fatal crash. Would you lambast them and call them scum? No, you'd still have sympathy for them as a devastated parent who has lost a child, but it DOESN'T change the fact that they ****ed up and that should be acknowledged. You wouldn't' say to others, "Hey you shouldn't bother with seatbelts because crashing is pretty rare anyway"... you'd say "Remember to buckle everyone up because look what happened to that poor kid". Surely. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 26-03-2019 at 02:24 PM. |

They are clearly unfit to be around kids when they admitting neglecting them, how social services were not involved is beyond me

That wee girl on the scottish island was in her bed and was not safe, the parents did not lock the house door - i have not heard much abuse about them? to try and have a go at the parents after a child is abducted is gross, they decided what they has set up was safe and its their call. Maybe some parents think that the worst will always happen but some dont because it does not. |

I can't help but think if the mcCanns were a chavy working class couple living on the council estate ie like Karen Mathews type situation ,then their other kids would be taken off them by now and social services would of been involved .
Whether they like to present themselves as middle class intelligent professional people with good jobs , it makes no difference as they still neglected their children . And i find their behaviour very weird throughout . |

In this case, the worst did happen so people are entitled to comment.

I don't know enough about that case to comment one way or another and even if they were negligent in any way, it still wouldn't excuse the McCann's for leaving 3 kids under 4 alone to go and socailise. As for your previous comment that MILLIONS of parents do it, can you provide proof of that? I know of no parent who has left their kids, particularly on holiday, home alone (and I'm from Salford!)

Red flags are there , it's very worrying that these parent's had that mind set to go out drinking plus why not go somewhere child friendly and take the children with them?? . I have never heard anyone think it's normal to leave children alone who are that SMALL. Even children aged 10 would still have some sort of care instead of being left totally on their own . But a 10 year old being left alone isn't the same as 3 small kids . Last edited by GoldHeart; 26-03-2019 at 03:09 PM. |

No, he was asking me if I had no comment (on that Scottish case) and I was throwing it back to him asking if he had no comment that if the McCann's hadn't left Maddie there is every chance that she would still be safe and well.

I didn't make it clear - my fault
I want to see what proof he has of the MILLIONs of people leaving their kids alone, LT is normally such a stickler for facts and figures, I am sure he will have such proof at his finger tips

Well, I've never come across it. The "norm" around anyone I know when taking kids on holiday is take them with you to eat, they just go to bed a bit later
