"A toddler who choked to death at her nursery was a victim of manslaughter by gross negligence"
Little Molly was in her cot where the strings from a bag tied to her cot became entangled around her neck, causing her to choke. She was alone for 20 minutes in the room, although, staff were present in the building. The staff have been found negligent for leaving the bag tied to the cot, an obvious danger for a small child.
Now, in my opinion, in the case of the McCanns, this is just one of the reasons why you do not leave young children/babies alone whilst you are out drinking and socialising. Although we don't know what has happened to Madeleine McCann, we do know that something awful has happened and I would like to know why the parents aren't facing charges of negligence for leaving Madeleine and the twins in a potentially dangerous situation, which has resulted in Madeleines disappearance.

The poem didnt occur before 1881 an according to Iona and Peter Opie (authors of the oxford dictionary of nursery Rhymes) this was only one version of the song and other common versions say the children bow down, still other versions have a second verse where the children jump up again. There is no proof that this is actually about the plague, and even if it was it's not going to hurt them. Children have been playing it for over 200 years, if anything it is likely to interest them in the plague, if you decide this is inappropriate then where are you going to draw the line? Lucy locket lost her pocket ~ about adultery. what about all the violence in fairytales, cinderella for example. sure its been disney-ified but its still a story of abuse and neglect.

None of the staff are being prosecuted. But I agree, if thats gross negligence then what was the mccann case? A nice quiet night out??

Exactly why are they not charged with neglect? if it was anyone else they would have been, the Mcann's are no different from anyone else, they left 3 small children alone.Justice will be done 1 day.

To be charged with neglect they need to return to England first.They seem to be in no hurry to do this.Perhaps the two facts are connected!

the only reason they have not been charged yet,is that it will look very bad for the police if they were to do so,when the child is still missing,and the only way i can see them being charged is if the child is found safe

I agree so the million dollar question is ...why aren't they being charged with neglect?.
