I told you people....when will you start listening to me??

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070907/ap_on_re_eu/portugal_missing_girl

Months ago, when the story of Madeline McCain hit the news, I said that the mother was involved. No one listened to me. If you want to catch a criminal, you have to think like one.

According to the news report, the mother of Madeline McCain is being named a suspect in her disappearance, due to trace blood samples that were found in the car rented by the family shortly before her "disappearance."

I freakin told you!!!


To make this religious: IF this woman repents for her crimes, do you think she deserves the amnesty that God allegedly would extend to her? She has possibly murdered her own child, then lied to the world about it, has made millions in donations, and has caused millions of dollars to be wasted in false searches.

IT is true, James, that I am a Criminal Investigator.

Answer 1

If it helps, Julio, I thought the same thing. But then I rebuked myself for thinking evil of a mother when I had no evidence.

Thanks for making me feel guilty all over again, brother! (LOL)

To answer your religious question: "yes." But only God knows whether her repentence is real or not. Humans believe lies; God is the best lie detector ever.

Answer 2

Hm, I didn't think of Munchausens, but that's definitely an idea. I thought the exact same thing when Laci Petersen went missing. The first thing that popped into my head was "her husand did it, plain and simple". and then look at what happened. personally i think it's very irresponsible of madelein's parents to leaveher and her siblings unattended so they could go out to eat. i have a kid and would NEVER in a million years leave her alone in the house even for a second (save getting the mail or taking the trash out).

Answer 3

I know that mothers are capable of this kind of thing. My own pushed me down a flight of stairs when I was about 6, overdosed me on vitamins and aspirin (I had nose bleeds all of the time) and threatened to kill me regularly. Many mothers like mine are mentally ill and not capable with dealing with the pressures of parenthood. This is not an excuse for them, just pointing out a fact. I will not be surprised if the mother is found guilty, but the show isn't over yet. I continue to pray for Maddy and all children who are abused.

Answer 4

I am saddened and sullen by this news. The public exposure will most certainly elucidate personality disorders and other emotional instabilities of the parent(s). If the mother truly has mental pathology, the father most certainly was a codependent/enabler to her illness and unfortunately to this tragedy. Even if this transpires to human trial and jury, their fate ultimately rests in God's court. God knows the truth, always has, always will and He will hand out the punishment and penalty... or mercy.

Answer 5

GOD extends forgiveness to anyone that that asks truly from their heart. If the mother is guilty ( and we don't know she is yet) then she will stand trial and punishment for her crimes, but forgiveness by GOD is not amnesty. Forgiveness is spiritual and to clear the soul between the person and GOD, amnesty is clear the record of crimes between the person and society.

Answer 6

There is a difference between having a right relationship with someone and being punished.

Example: When my child disobeys me, the punishment doesn't restore the relationship. The punishment is there for the benefit of the child and the family (and society) as a result.

Answer 7

Yikes. I still think that an outsider was involved, just considering the many cases with pedophile abductions of kids, but if this proves correct than it will be a horrendous turn

To make this religion: Sorry, but I'm not religious. If she murdered her kid, shame on her. I'm not a parent, but I don't see how one could kill a little girl.

Answer 8

Jeffery Dahmer killed at least 17 people, ate some and mutilated all...before he was killed in prison, he had repented and gave his life over to the Lord. Was he forgiven? YES!!! because God made us (ALL OF US) a promise, Mark 3:28-29.
God know our heart (nothing is hidden from Him) and if you (McCain) truly repents (if she's guilty) she WILL be forgiven.

Answer 9

for the question on god ........... if she asks for forgivness he will forgive her but that does not mean she is free of being punished by our standerds she still has to pay for her crime as for the searches they are not waisted they could have found the poor girl regardless of who did it..... a search is still needed for the body if she is dead and the mom did it u think she is gonna give up where she is

Answer 10

It's McCann, no "i". And you're not anywhere NEAR the only person who said this. As a matter of fact, of all the discussions that I participated in about her, I don't ever remember seeing your name. You're one of at least hundreds who said the very same thing.
