I also agree what has been said about the class issue. If that wasnt a middle class family social services would be investigating and crawling all over them for leaving small children alone.
That is SUCH a good point!
just because you've forgotten doesn't mean you're forgiven
wat i wanna know is if the parents are to blame what will happen too all the money raised and the money they have wasted.

Personal I'm abit dissappointed that they didn't make Maddy's Parents suspects in the first place. Usually when people go missing, they're on the news at least twice. And the second time is just that said persons' family doing an appeal. It's been nearly what 4 months or something since she dissappeared and suddenly all over the news is Maddy this and Maddy that. It makes me sick actually to think that her Parents have killed her and they're just using her 'apparent' dissappearence as an excuse to be on tele. It's so sick.

I mean what kind of parent leaves their child on their own in a hotel room? And they were offered a babysitter on their holiday sight to look after the kids for FREEE and they refused.
I find this extremely odd. In all honesty, I'd rather pay for a babysitter (therefore having slightly less money to pay for a meal) than leave my children alone and spend the money I could've used for a babysitter on a meal.

when she ran back to report maddie missing to her friends, she left the twins alone in the room again, now if one of your children went missing, would you really leave your 2 babies alone again to go tell people the other one has gone?
This just seems very irresponsible to me and I do remember hearing about this.

yes which is all well and good however my poitn is all these donatiosn have been in faith that there the parents didnt know a thing and not that the parents did it themselfs and now it turns out the parents may have doen it and all this mone ygiven to support the parents may have been going to help the parents cover up their own attrocity.
thats fraud to me if the parents do turn out to be the killers, accidental or not.
that is a lot of wasted money, wasted faith and wasted time that could of been better spent.
and even if they didnt do it, with all their irresponsibilty, they easliy could have.
=/
i was trying to ignore that fact, imo they are responsible to a degree and on a charge of neglegent mansluaghter or something like that ?
the fact is they have two other kids is it and they have been flyign round the world, stayign in spain, doing everythign for there other missing kid, how must it affect the remaining kids
the fact is there nto fit to be parents imo ignore the fact they lsot a kid
It is very easy from a completely removed standpoint, with the benefit of hindsight, to say that they were negligent, irresponsible, not fit to be parents and to point the finger at them.
Maybe, just maybe, they had nothing to do with it whatsoever and they are genuinely parents who are trying to come to terms with one of their children being taken from them. Yes, we can all go on about them constantly being in the press, how it isn't normal not to show any emotion etc but what's normal? I can't honestly tell you how I'd react if one of my children (were I to have any) was taken away from me - maybe I'd be in tears, maybe I wouldn't, I just don't know and I don't think anyone on here can possibly comment on that unless they've been subjected to it themselves.
Likewise, we can say that they shouldn't have left their children unattended. Very easy to say so after the event. Perhaps they honestly believed that their kids would be safe in the house whilst they had a meal? Maybe it didn't cross their minds that one of their children could be abducted? I'm sure that with the benefit of hindsight they wouldn't have done so.
I'm sure the McCanns aren't perfect parents. How many are? I'm sure that over the years they've done the best they can for their children. Now, it could, of course, transpire that they are in some way complicit in the disappearance of their daughter but it seems to me that at the moment there is some sort of witch hunt against them based purely on speculation, half truths, and downright lies & fabrications that stems from their constant media appearances since Madeline went missing. Much as it irritates me, and I've been a critic of their conduct regarding this in the past, is society so judgmental these days that we can't accept that it might just be the case that they are trying to get their child back?
This world is crazy. i really hope it wasent them and she is still alive somewhere but i don't know.
i hope thier other kids are ok, any parent who would leave thier young child alone anywhere. let alone a hotel in a unkonwn place i wouldent call responsable. that alone should get child services involved or something.
you so know those two only had kids to complete their lifestyle with their middle class detatched house, resonably priced cars in the driveway and expensive holidays, kids was the logical step.

Sorry about all that, guys, rant over :)
I understand what your saying. im not ready to claim for sure that they did it either.
One thing i must say though is. you should NEVER EVER under ANY circumstances. leave a small child alone. its never ok. cant get a babysitter? take them with you or don't go anywhere period.
Other than that i agree with you, but i just wanted to make clear that leaving s little kid alone is never excusable. you just don't do that.

They were offered free babysitting which they refused apparently...
I still don't know what to believe but after hearing and reading so much about that night and her parents actions I'm starting to think that they did have something to do with it, which is an incredibly horrible thought.
& if it was them they have cheated so many people out of so much money that was given in good will to help find Maddie and the whole thng will have been one sick massive con.
I've said since day one when she was taken from the appartment that i think the parents are involved in one way or another.. I hope we find out one way or another soon as my sister who is 4 is now scarred to stay in an empy room in our house since it happened incase someone comes and gets her...Keeps asking have they found maddie yet!

Reason: spelling mistake
Maybe they hired people to kidnap her so they could get the money from all the caring people and the publicity, something went wrong and that's why blood was found forever later. Okay, I'm just pulling **** out of my ass.
You know, I have no clue what's going on. I don't feel near as bad for the family as I do for the little girl. Being abducted has to be a horrible experience in itself, much less not seeing your parents for four months if you're still alive.

Agreed.
I have like no sympathy for the parents but that child.
its dodgy as all hell...
anyways heres my speculation -
madeleine died by accident - by an accidental overdose of toxic substance,
probably alcohol or class A drugs.
this means family have to cover this up or they stand to lose their other 2 kids
their holiday freinds have made nothing but false statements from day1, ESPECIALLY about the man seen carrying away a small child (they also partook in the class A drugs) amd helped the family cover up the death (hid her body in a large scale freezer) and either kate mcann or a family freind hid the body...
theres a lot of money changing hands over this and no-one seems to be completely innocent,
i dont think this will ever be resolved
The thing I dont understand is how they have managed to move the body with no one seeing them 25 days after the event. With all the media coverage and the fact that they have had family liasons officers with them for so long it just seems impossible.
Also where have they hidden Maddy for the first 25 days so that she hasnt been found? They are on holiday so wont have things like a freezer to hand and the searches done were pretty thorough.
Would you really help friends conceal and murder and then stand back and not say anything about it whilst they raised millions, travelled the world and so on.
Also has the blood actually been confirmed as Madelines?
I dont know if they are innocent or not there just seems to be so many questions going around in addition to which havent the police said they have another aguido?
