Justice for the McCanns?

Question

For weeks now, we've been busy posting regarding little missing Madeleine McCann.
Just thought i'd clear up one thing for myself.
Most of us do not condone children being left unattended.
It was a terrible decision by the McCanns & they know it now.

That said, can someone please tell me why on earth would the public who are not privy to details of the investigation
continue to hurl stupid, cruel accusations or murder/ hiding evidence against Madeleine's parents?
The media has a lot to answer for, with regard to the rumours being spread but surely the general public should
use their brains & see stupid journalism for what it is and refrain from joining in the witch-hunt?

I'm appalled at the complete lack of compassion & empathy, displayed by people who don't even know the McCanns personally
enough to get involved in the search for their Madeleine but brash enough to make wild insinuations about them.
Accuastions about them murdering her & hiding evidence (without any proof whatsoever)
Accusations about them living a celeb life off the fund (which is now refuted)
Insinuations about Gerry McCann's "guilt" with references to his personal blog.
Inferences that Kate doesn't look "sad or sorrowful" enough.

Have Gerry & Kate McCann been dealt with justly?

Don't confuse the 2 issues now...
i do not speak of leaving their babies unattended (leave that to the law);
i speak of the accusations that the McCanns murdered their own Madeleine & hid evidence.

Thank you for thinking so nicely of me Ladybugs, but i disagree that writing is an adequate measure of character. i'm sure i'm not half as nice as you've made me out to be & i'm certain if i had half the stress & grief Gerry McCann is under right now, i'd write rubbish myself. i do think he maintains that blog of his just 'cos he knows people interested in his Madeleine read it and so he fills inane bits of his day just to keep her memory fresh. His mission has been accomplished well, don't you think?!

Thanks Toietmoi..!

Thanks Jomamoeuskadi, Skidoo & Obanpussyginger...! The truth will prevail...never you fear!

Answer 1

Absolutely agree with every word .
Couldn`t have put it better myself.
Have a star and a round of applause!

Answer 2

Your question: "Have Gerry & Kate McCann been dealt with justly?" is rather pointless.

The McCann's got what they wanted: global exposure and massive support. The sad fact is that all of it did not find Madeleine.

It is true that a minority of people have accused the McCann's from bad parents to killers, but that should have been anticipated by their handlers. It was part of the price for the publicity.

Nothing comes free.

Answer 3

I guess for me its just a matter of opinions and for me in my own personal life peoples opinions are just that and I personally would not give a hoot what people on the internet thought of me or my family. If the McCanns are innocent of other things other then the obvious neglect then they know it and should not care what others have said but, they have brought a majority of it on themselves. If they did not put themselves out there more so then they put their daughters name and face out there I don't believe the questions on here about them would have lasted this long. I think as far as the blog goes for me and I am sure others it is quite bizarre and most people would not spend their time writing one. He makes himself look like an idiot with some of the things he writes about on it. I read it in the beginning but don't bother anymore. You can tell alot about people from what they write. You for example...You are a kind person, a christian, your family comes first and you are the type of person that would do anything for your friends and the ones you love. I think I could guess to say you are definatly a giver not a taker and your friends in real life see you as someone they can always count on. Am I correct? I got all of this just from your answers on YA in the past few months so as I said you can tell alot about someone by what they write on the internet. The way I read Gerry on his blog is as a selfish pompous man who puts his needs before his families. I think he thinks he is better then others and his more important then others. I don't think he knows how to take others feelings into consideration just as you think people don't take their feelings into consideration. What he said about Rhy Jones family was uncalled for and just as insensitive of some of the things I have seen written about them.

Answer 4

Is this a Q&A forum or a soap box? you need Hyde Park Corner.
But I agree with you and I think the McCanns are intelligent enough to see through provocative journalism just to sell papers.

Answer 5

no fault in anything you've posted
perhaps if sensationalism and mud slinging were to stop then the police could get on with their job of
a)finding the wee lass, dead or alive and
b)deducing exactly what happened that night and apprehend the guilty

Answer 6

I agree with you. They made a terrible mistake in leaving the children, but I'm disgusted by the unfounded allegations and accusations that have been hurled around on here.

Answer 7

Faith, I agree with you.

Answer 8
