somes facts about the maccanns, whats your thoughts.?

Question

they neglected their children,
they see nothing wrong with it
they wont admit they done anything wrong.
what ever has happened to the child, they are at the very least indirecly responcible for it.
they show no remorse.
they have not even looked for the child.
and they have lied to the police with their tampas nine pact of silence

f0xymoron, im sure poor Madeleine will be happy to know that, and i know my spelling is not the best, but my parent skills are first class.
and unlike gerry maccann, despite my bad spelling and grmaer, i never spelt my childrens names wrong lol

bernie m,, i could not give one toss about the maccanns , they are neglecters,, my thoughts would be with the daughter they, let down

CHARISMA, can you provide some links to back up that load of crap you just posted?

hi toiet moi,, i opened the mirror link and i cannot log into the main page, so il take your word that St,kate said they were so soory, still they have not admitted what they done was wrong.

and what has the second link got to do with anything, so it the biggest investigation in portugese history? i agree with that.
now if only the parents done their job and looked after their children we would not be talking about this.
its the biggest case in porugal, because that country had the misfortune of having a pair of child neglecters pay them a visit

hi kilburn, thanks ,,apparently im Dave s according to misty blue and another couple of paranoid maccann supporters, ,lol dave could be on holidays or something, il take the allegations that im him, as a huge compliment, he will be back, or he could have changed his name to stop people reporting him to yahoo.
it amazing how some people just wont except that the maccanns have done anything wrong

thanks toiet moi, i read it, still i have just one problem with it,, the person who is saying it, the same person who neglected her children, when somebody does this , i dont beleive anything out of their mouths after that.
and about neglect, being a charge, and not a verb,, well toiet moi,,,if i see some one assualting another person on the street , in my eyes thats assault, before any court case, the same as i see the maccanns, leaving their children where one of them has come in harms way, as neglect, they just have not been charged with it yet

one more thing toiet moi ,, why is gerry now asking for the media to become low key,, thats a contradiction ,is it not?

Answer 1

true.....every word of it.

Answer 2

I can see both sides here, and I can finally look at it a little more objectively, which when it first happened, I was completely unable to.

Neglect is too strong a word in this instance, they took a very stupid, very dangerous, very unneccessary risk with the kiddies.
Gerry did say that what they did was in the bounds of good parenting; he is wrong.
Yes, their actions did indirectly allow this to happen. Yes, it could have happened even if they had been in the next room, but it would more than likely not have; therefore their absence did make it far easier than it ever should have been for this to happen.
Remorse and guilt are very funny things and are shown in a lot of different ways. At first, I couldn't understand how Kate was so calm and collected and never shed a tear, and I couldn't understand how Gerry could do his blog every day like nothing out of the ordinary had happened; but just recently I was talking to a friend who is in a very difficult situation and she told me she could quite understand how someone going through something like this could put on a front, because to allow the true horror in could render you useless.
I don't think a media campaign of this magnitude can constitute "not even looking for her".
You've got me on the Tapas 9 thing, this I cannot begin to understand. If my child was missing, everyone would be a suspect, especially a group of people who knew she would be alone and how long for.
But ultimately, no parent deserves to lose their child in this manner, and no parent deserves to not know anything about that child 3 months on, no matter what they did wrong and no matter what bad decisions they made that night.

Answer 3

Hmmmm, then I challenge you to put this question to a vote! In the case that somebody supporting your answer is chosen, then I suppose thats a sign that our society is in big trouble and I'll be moving to Spain!!



"They see nothing wrong with it"
- Of course they do, they have expressed their guilt. Which Paper have you been reading - Tal & Qual?

"They wont admit they done anything wrong"
- They have admitted on various occasions. Dude, get your facts right!

"What ever has happened to the child, they are at the very least indirecly responcible for it"
- No they are not, that evil physco(s) who took Madeleine are.

"They show no remorse"
- What planet do you live on? Showing no remorse would mean that they haven't showed any emotion or sign that they regret the happenings. Wake up!

"They have not even looked for the child"
- Absoloutly, they've only travelled to Italy, Spain, Germany, Morocco, Holland, Belgium, Malta and God knows where else!

"And they have lied to the police with their tampas nine pact of silence"
- If they have so called lied and aroused so much suspician, why do the British, Spanish, Moroccan and Portugese police all view the McCann's as victims and not suspects?

WAKE UP, MR BIASED!!!

And yes, I agree that the McCann's made a mistake, and unfortunatly a costly one. The children should not have been left on their own in a foreign country, but that does not mean they are bad parents. I think your views are very biased and selfish. If you cannot recognise and show sympathy towards the McCann's, you are clearly selfish.
People like you do not make finding Madeleine any easier. Under the stress and strain people like you put her poor parents how are they supposed to concentrate and put everything into finding Maddie and parenting their two beautiful twins?
Apologies for any spelling or grammar errors, spell check won't work.

Answer 4

Yes they neglected their kids that night and possibly other nights which i do not agree with at all. I think this whole case is odd, but you can't say they haven't shown remorse. You don't know how they are behind closed doors and they might think they are putting on a brave face?!! I dont know, i wouldnt like to say really what i think happened that night. I wasnt there, i dont know what the police (hopefully) suspect, and i do not know what they are going through. What i do know is, that even though they did neglected their children that night, i can not say that makes them guilty of anything more. That is up to the police to decide.
But, what if they are innocent of anything more? How do you think it must feel for them to be accused on front page news of killing your child. (if they are innocent they must be going through hell)
I am not the police, judge or jury. I am only going on what i think i would feel if i were in that situation. I would be traumatised.

Answer 5

hey i'm all for empathy and all that but really your dwelling on this case too much get a hobby can i suggest jogging?
you and all the others on this site are not helping. hey if you care so much step away from the computer fly out there and start your own investigation.
just moaning whos to blame and who is or isnt guilty isnt going to do nothing let cops do their job
god bless and stuff

Answer 6

They let Maddie down, surely doctors can afford baby sitters, a sitter would have had more chance of protecting the poor mite, also, someone said it was a one time mistake, who is to say it is the first time the children were left on there own? As a parent, you have a duty of care, too many kids are left on there own these days. As for police forbidding talking about the case, If one of mine were missing, I would shout from the rooftops! They were wrong, and more than once, they deserve a thousand times more in punishment than whatever little Maddie has suffered.

Answer 7

I just read where the director of the newspaper that the Mc's are suing has said he is not worried and stands by everything he wrote and that he would not change a comma. He also says he has not yet received any notification of the law suit from the Mc's. He adds that what he printed came from THREE reliable sources.
So .....
EDIT.... I'll be there with you Trish S

Answer 8

Berni m,
They have not paid for there mistake, ( has you call it, ) Madeleine has,
They let all their children down, and what for, to go drinking, and this was not the first time they left those babies alone.
Think of the children of these child neglectors, not the parents, they chose to go out drinking, Madeleine had no choice in the matter.

Answer 9

What do you mean they "show no remorse"? They've been really upset about this whole ordeal, and feel extremely guilty! They even admitted to the whole media and the whole world that they were wrong, which is an incredibly difficult thing to do. They did neglect their kids, but they probably didn't have bad intentions, they just did a stupid thing, and now they, and Madeleine, are paying for it in the worst way possible. Besides, I believe that in England it is not against the law to leave children unattended. So the only question is, was it responsible parenting? The answer is no, but I think they've learned their lesson. And in regards to not looking for the child, what can they possibly do that hasn't already been done?

Answer 10

We are recycling questions and answers at the moment.

1. Neglect is a "charge" not a "verb", usually given by a court of Law.
2. Kate: we're so desperately sorry we left you

3. See 2
4. Your "if A then B argument" is wrong as if B then A is wrong
5. See point 2
6. That is the Biggest investigation in the Portugease History, Why do you think that is?
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1786437.ece
7. If they can't talk to the Media and The police cant talk about the investigation, then how do you know about that?

My thoughts?
Thoughtless

---------------
My point about the investigation is this; The reason it's the biggest investigation in the Portugease history because of the Media pressure the McCanns have instigated, which is much more effective than doing the foot work themselves knocking on doors.
----------------------------
You are taking it out of context.

What he meant is this; In order to fill a void in details from the police investigation; he and his wife had conducted a series of interviews to raise awareness of Madeleine's disappearance. This void in details led some journalists to find a story which was leading to "absolutely wild speculation" about what had happened. This now has become contra-productive and we can’t control the coverage. Therefore we think we should adopt "low-key format".



I hope that was helpful.
--------------------------
Regarding “what ever has happened to the child, they are at the very least indirecly responcible for it.”

You say- they left Madeleine alone, therefore she was abducted.

Madeleine is abducted, therefore they must have left her alone… you can see this argument is absurd

Answer 11

B O L L O C K S

I agree they negelcted there chidren but they have shown remorse and feel guilty for what happened!!!
The only thing you have stated that is FACT is that they neglected them!!!
No one is a pefect parent, what are your children up to while your writting thoughtless pointless stupid questions on here, I just hope that this kind of thing does not happen to you one day cause you do not know what they are going through.
