I see the McCann's are facing ruin because they lost a court case against a police officer and got landed with 1/2 million costs. The more I read about this the more it is beginning to irk me. Now it's a truly dreadful thing to have a child abducted but.......if it had happened in this country they themselves would have ended up in the dock for going out and leaving 3 children on their own yet somehow because it happened abroad no blame has been apportioned to them and the world and its dog are backing and supporting them. It Just doesn't seem quite right. Phil

I have always been unhappy with this I know they wernt far away but they are both doctors and should have known better. I often wonder how much this has all cost and what could have been funded if they hadnt been so stupid

This happened overseas, the British taxpayer should not have funded all the British police activity on this case.
The story has been overhyped from day one. It's almost as if this is the only child who has ever gone missing.

www.missingkids.comAlways keep an eye on your little kids, never let them wander alone in supermarkets. And not leave them in cars - cars can catch fire.

Im not sure that a tv talent show is the best vehicle for this ...then i suppose if they want max coverage it could be...for me it doesn't feel right. As to the parents of Maddie it maybe that if they felt guilty at leaving her and lets face it they could have lost all 3 of their kids that night, they are gonna move heaven and earth to try to come to terms with their failure. Actions taken cannot ever justify the initial act of leaving kids unattended as they did....when we used to holiday..the very few we had there was always one of us stayed with the kids in hotel rooms etc. We dined separately.

In hindsight I imagine the McCanns would give anything to be able to turn the clock back and not to have left their children alone, but then children have been abducted from their own bedrooms then murdered while there have been other people in close proximity in the same house (e.g. the Lindbergh baby). The lion's share of blame lies with the abductor rather than with the McCanns, whose main fault seems to be their faintly irritating persistence. Were I to be asked for it, my personal advice to them would be to try to accept that their daughter has been dead for a long time, and adjust their lives around that premise.

They're too far along the road to stop now and remember they have also been accused of doing the deed themselves either by accident or design. There isn't a good direction for them to take really and awhile they still attract publicity why on earth should they stop? One good thing I suppose is that anyone considering doing similar will have this case in mind and hopefully be more sensible.

I'm guessing that they have accepted the fact but just would like some closure of knowing what happened and perhaps finding a body. It's a bit like the mystery disappearance of Claudia Lawrence, her father would just like closure. Roger

In their position, although the obvious hope is that they will see Madelaine again, even finding a body would allow them to move on. I feel the McCanns have gone through the most horrific experience, made a hundred times worse by internet trolling campaigns suggesting that they were responsible for their daughter's death when there is absolutely no logical reason to imagine why they would be.

I've always been suspicious of the Mccann's. Something just does not sit right in my mind.

I've not read anything on the Internet regarding the case. I was, and remain suspicious from the outset. People do all sorts of things that I cannot explain, and I stopped being surprised by what some are capable of, and why they do it a long time ago.

A quote from A C Doyle?
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

While it is true that this is a quote from Arthur Conan Doyle it is fairly irrelevant in that the impossible has not been eliminated, namely that she was almost certainly abducted and murdered by an opportunistic Portuguese version of Robert Black. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Black_(serial_killer)
