Madeleine McCann

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

The sweets post is a bit poor, but i agree with the other half of his post. Smoking in a car with children is as bad if not worse than what the McCaan's did.

Again I wouldn't dream of doing either

Both are unacceptable.

Smoking in a car with kids present is against the law I believe and so It should be. Not sure if leaving your young kids in an unlocked apartment while you go out to have a good time is illegal or not but it should be. One being wrong doesn't make other ok.

The actions of the parents certainly contributed to whatever happened to her. It's just a question of to what degree.

I'm not saying its acceptable mate, but some folk have wanted them locked up and even the twins removed.

Mmm how many kids each year are miserable , self harm and occasionally kill themselves because of obesity, how many lose their teeth every year , how many get type2 diabetes. I am not saying or even trying to suggest that if you give your kids sweets you are a rotten parent. My kids had some sweets .
But looking at it form what does harm to kids the number of instances of childhood abduction is vanishingly small , the number of cases of miserable fat kids is not.

Oh mate i agree that giving them to many sweets is a cunts trick, i was just pointing out its not as bad as other forms of neglect towards children. But its definitely up there.

Exactly, Madeleine was around 3 years of age. This is an age where the concept of danger doesn't really make sense to them, any number of things could happen to a child that age when left alone

Who in the right mind would even contemplate leaving a 3 year old alone while going out for tea??, surely one of the parents could of just stayed in, they are guilty of neglect, yes they are probably suffering for it every day, but so is that poor little girl, the mcann’s fault totally

They could have had them at the tapas restaurant but didn’t because of the time and it being their bed time.

What they ate had no bearing other than location.

Firstly, who the hell keeps their kids sleeping patterns on holiday? Most parents would let their kids stay with them in a pushchair and let them fall asleep with them by their sides.

Secondly, i can't believe anyone thinks it's ok to leave their kids alone, in an unlocked apartment with a road on one side and a swimming pool 75 metres between them and the apartment.
When they're sat selfishly enjoying themselves having tapas and wine, what was to stop Madeline walking out either into the road or falling into the pool? They probably wouldn't hear either happen from where they were.

Cuntish parenting.

Probably a lot of parents.

They could see the main door from their seating area, if that door opened they would know about it.

Yeah who eats tapas and drinks wine on holiday!

Guilty as charged!

While their kids are alone in an unlocked room out of sight? Hopefully not too many.

I wonder how many of those that do would leave their holiday money unattended in an unlocked hotel room.

What they were eating doesn’t matter.

People use it to stir emotion but the only factors that matter are the distance, the length of time between checks, the building, location, building being unlocked etc.

Of course the fact they were drinking matters, alcohol affects the senses, they could have been to drunk to help her if she'd fell into the pool for example. And from 77 meters away, as you keep liking to point out, after a few drinks they probably wouldn't have heard her either.

Can't believe anyone is defending their actions that night, the first job of a parent is to look after their children and keep them safe, something they failed to do out of nothing more than selfish reasons.

Cunts the pair of them.

Tapas is very emotional. If only they’d been eating egg and chips. They wouldn’t get half the flak!
