American TV journalists grilled Gerry about why he and his wife Kate did not hire a babysitter to watch their three children as they dined with friends on the night she was taken.
It follows a campaign in Portugal where there have been calls for the couple to be prosecuted for leaving their children alone in their holiday apartment.
The McCanns have faced increased criticism after details were leaked to the Portuguese media of alleged inconsistencies in statements by the McCanns and their friends.
An article in Sol magazine accused Madeleine’s parents and other families in their holiday group of hiding behind a “pact of silence”.
The report said: “Madeleine’s parents and the friends with whom they spent their holidays are suspects in the inquiry. There are contradictory versions about the night of the kidnapping and an assumed pact of silence in the group.”

They sould get done for it, what kind of parent would leave their child alone while they went out, even if it is a "family resort", there's something not right about those two.

Thanks be to God to hear that. Poor Madeleine. I hope justice is done soon and the parents get what they deserve. Gerry and Kate can run but they can't hide forever. The truth usually comes out in the end.

This case has never really been about Madeleine has it? From day one it has been about adulatory reports about the McCanns, pictures of McCanns jogging, going to church, Kate clutching Cuddlecat etc. The focus has always been on them, particularly Gerry, whose behaviour and comments are becoming increasingly bizarre. He has only himself to blame if people are looking askance at him.

I think the press are probably tired of there being no fresh news in the search for Madeleine therefore are now turning on the parents they once had such compassion for, just for the sake of a story.

yes, i think there is something funny going on- they are doctors for gods sake- they have more than enough money to pay for childcare. The only person i feel for in all this is maddie.

What is new? And the words "assumed pact" isn't the same thing as a "pact".
There's a lot of newspaper talk there, with someone trying to make a story out of nothing.
