It's only because of missing children such as Maddie McCann that we can sit back all smug and say "I'd never let mine out of my sight." At the minute my daughter's in the shower 2 rooms away from me. The front door between us is unlocked, as is the bathroom window. I suppose some monster could happen by and steal her away forever, but I feel we're safe enough, so I'll continue to sit where I am and not panic.
I'm sure they never dreamed in a million years that any of the children would come to any harm on their family holiday while the kids slept and the adults had a meal and a drink in the same complex a hundred feet away (or whatever) in - what they thought- was an enclosed area. Gerry said - it felt safe - like they were having tea in their garden while the kids were in the house.
Folk who think the McCann's don't punish themselves inside every day must be living in cloud cuckoo land, or they watch too much drama trash on TV. But those folk who want them punished even more are SICK themselves. Stop kicking into them.
Swing back to the 70s and before that, when every kid who could walk played outside, sometimes miles away from mum and dad, all day till they got hungry. That was before we knew about paedophiles and perverts and all that. If you were social services and had a time machine you'd have to go back and report millions upon millions for neglect.
As I said, if it wasn't for the McCanns and folk like them, you wouldn't know it was dangerous out there. You should be thanking them. Poor buggers.

That's all well and good, but doesn't apply to the millions of Britons who think they killed her.

Well, if that's the case then it shows just how many folk are walking this earth who are missing empathy and compassion for their fellow beings, and how backward a race we still are. Missing empathy goes under psychopath btw. But I'll bet anything, that if any one of those uncaring millions had a similar thing happen in their family they'd be crying out for folk who DO care to be on their side. Thank goodness there are some.

Sorry but I disagree with you completely.
Between them Kate and Gerry drank 4 bottles of wine and were completely pissed - the barman and waiter who served them all that night were fired by the hotel for talking to the press and giving them a copy of the bar tab for the night.
Secondly and more importantly being a parent is the most important role that any adult can have and to leave your 3 children all aged under 5yrs old in a room all on their own in a foreign country while you go out and get smashed is completely irresponsible and selfish and anyone with kids who disagrees is just as bad as the McCanns.
IMO Kate and Gerry McCann should have been imprisoned for their criminal negligence and they should not be allowed to look after ANY children unsupervised. Sounds harsh I know but I'm sick of all these do-gooders who keep giving it the old 'it must be soo hard for them, poor things' bulls++t.
Kate and Gerry McCann dererve all the pain and suffering they are going through and more because it will be nothing in comparison to the fear and confusion that poor Maddie went through on that terrible night and if she is still alive ( I believe she is ) that she may still be going through now.

i expect "news" like this to surface every couple years.
her parents are invested in keeping her ghost alive.
it gives em the chance to justify still accepting donations, plus every hint helps them to draw away suspicion they did it.
rest in peace maddie, you never left portugal.
its a nice place to die
