If Maddie is ever found ( we pray she is) do you think she will blame her parents when she is older for the fact that she was kidnapped if in fact when she is older she knows she was or is kidnapped?
It is well documented by the media that they left her alone whilst went out for a meal so it wouldnt be hard for her to find out when she is older.

i think she will as they are the two people in the world who were supposed to make sure she was never placed in danger, something which they did do when they left the poor little girl and the twins alone so they could go out

Most of us are saying the same thing - lets hope that she has the opportunity to blame her parents, 'cos that means the little cutie is alive. I, too, blamed Gerry and Kate initially - they are two intelligent professionals etc. etc. But after a day or so, I started thinking "Who are we to judge them?" Yes, I'm a parent too, and I like to think that I would never have done that - BUT Gerry and Kate are going to be beating themselves up enough over this (whatever the outcome). Whatever their reasons were at the time, they will never forgive themselves. I don't agree that they will "paint a rosy picture" or gloss over it to Maddie (if she is ever found) - they strike me as a very open, honest and loving family. OK, so they did the wrong thing by Maddie - but they need public support, not judgement. I so hope Maddie is found (though as time goes on that hope is fading) and, if she is, I hope that the McCanns will find somewhere well away from all the fuss so that they, and Maddie, can work on their recovery.

She's at a very young age. If she is alive and is living with a childless couple, her memories of her life before would disappear. If she is with a paedophile / use for child prostitution the horrors she would have been / be going through, she would not know what is real from not. Her life before with her family would be seriously doubted. If she is alive and is found, maybe she would not understand 'blame' but as she gets older and begins to fully understand what happened then she will blame her parents for not protecting her.
Gerry and Kate and the rest of the clan will be continously saying to her how much they love her and they left 'no stone unturned' searching for her and how hard they all worked. They'll paint a pretty picture for her.

Well, lets see if the little doll turns up first.That is the most important thing.
It took for me to become an adult and learn the wrong doings of certain members of my family though (so it's the only way I can answer your question with my honest experience in my own life)
My mother argued with her sister.Then, my mother told me 20 odd years later when both myself and my cousin became adults (out of spite so I wouldn't talk to my aunt either), about how my cousin would be left alone in the house when his parents went down the pub on weekends.My aunt was afraid my uncle would go off with other women as he had done in the past.Stupid woman should have left him, and looked after her only son.
My cousin has deep mental scars as a result, he's a real messed up adult that cannot, and will not forgive.Can't say I blame him.
I have never forgiven my mother for not doing anything about it, and my aunt for leaving my cousin.
I just hope that the scum bag that took little Maddie gets caught, or admits to his evil actions.It's a lot to hope for though, isn't it?

I remember certain events that took place in my life when I was that little. Things that you never forget so yes if she is still alive I think she will blame her parents. I have asked this question myself a few weeks ago. Will she be called heartless, and insulted by those who feel the parents made a little mistake if she were to ever write a book or go on public record condemning her parents for what they did? As someone else said..I agree I hope she will at least have that chance because that would mean she is alive.

Lacks foundation. Assumes information no longer in evidence. Incomprehensible. no person is blaming Portugal, that I even have study. It wasn't appropriate to the money, motels are very risk-free statistically. that's approximately some egocentric individual or persons abducting, then treating a newborn like chattel: owned supplies. Please supply up whining appropriate to the mothers and fathers. they're as lots sufferers as their daughter. Compassion! The magic observe additionally lacking from many political agendas.

Course she will. When older, she would need a lot of help and support coming to terms with it, or else she''ll be a very angry teenager. But no doubt the family would deny anything did happen and claim the press made up nasty stories about Mummy and Daddy!

Good Question...It can go either way,.
when and if she comes back to the family she will either love them because they are loving and generous family and help her to achieve her aims so she will put this mistake of the theirs into perspective or she will resent them because she cannot understand the parents behaviour especially if she rebels and becomes not religious..this I beleive will wholly depend on the length of her disappearence... if it is years she may forget what it is to have them as parents and hate the adjustment that follows being returned..

I disagree with ANNIE because this case has been totally bizarre from start to now with so many unanswered questions I don't think it will EVER be history and be forgotten. People will be writing books about it and there will no doubt be a film over the horizon one day. So it will always haunt the McCanns for the rest of their lives of luxury.

She is only 4 so she may not remember when she is older. Too much time has been wasted already. It is hard to know what to think at this stage.

If we get to the point where Madeleine McCann is in a position to blame people for her plight, then I - along with everybody - will be very happy indeed.
It would be nice to think of her looking back on all this as just one nasty episode in her long life, but with many other much better memories to compete with it.
As for her blaming her parents, I don't know.
There's enough of us out here - quite rightly too - doing that for her.
