Does ANYONE, other than their family and friends, believe the McCanns are innocent?

Question

Evidence appears to be slowly mounting up against them and being released to the public. Their attitude is turning the public against them but trying to keep that part out of it, is there any way they are innocent?

Not guilty of child neglect? Anyone can see the McCann children are well cared for???? Get real! of course they were neglected. What do you call leaving them alone while the parents went out with friends then? Good parenting? I couldnt believe what I was reading when I read that answer. Ridiculous. No matter if you believe them to be guilty of sedating/murder/manslaughter or not guilty only poor parents who have had their child abducted, then you still have to adm,it they are guilty of neglect.

Answer 1

Innocent of child neglect or murder?

They're guilty of child neglect regardless of what ever else turns up.

Child left alone = risk of accident or death = bad parenting.

Answer 2

I'm not family or friends just someone watching the news and i think they are innocent. They are however guilty of leaving their children alone and should be punished as it is an offence to leave children unattended, but i do not think they had anything to do with her disappearance or death.This whole situation is terribly sad and i just hope that i am wrong and the truth comes out, that they find the little girl or the worst case scenario at least a body they can bury. So they can try and get on with what is left of their lives. Only time will tell.

Answer 3

Bloody hell can people get off their case! ALL parents make mistakes. Kids run let go of your hand and cross busy roads, they get lost, and most times things work out. Sometimes us parents make a really bad choice thinking all will be fine and most times it is. By God, Gerry and Kate are paying for that now. The guilt they'll feel must be unbearable.

How do we help? By blaming them. Decent human beings wouldnt be talking about how badly wrong the McCanns got it. They'd display posters, remind their contacts all over the world to look for Maddy, and pray to God she comes home.

Child neglect? Thats ridiculous. Anyone can see all of the Mcanns kids are cared for and loved.

Yes I do believe they are innocent. I I believe that little girl is out there somewhere. I pray she comes home soon.

Answer 4

Purple voodoo:- I have two children , my brother and 2 sisters have children, and i have 5 grand children. Non of us have ever left our children to fend for themslves.
I am very poor and always have been and if I had the money that the McCann's had I would have employed a baby sitter. They have found out that children are not disposable in the most violent way and I doubt that they will ever get over it.
Their punishment is what happened to their little girl. What can be worse than that? Nothing. Look what happened to that solicitor who was jailed for killing her children and then released, the strain killed her!
Don't underestimate how bad they will always feel.
As for whether they have killed the little girl or not - we will just have to wait and see. Although I must admit there does seem to be mounting evidence that something violent has happened, sadly.

Answer 5

I posted aquestion earlier.. Im confused! Starting to think that they could be involved with her disapearance, sadly it seems more likely that she is no longer with us ;¬( My partner.. from day 1 said there was a crucial laps in time from her friends checking, and the mccanns checking the babes. Also they were seen outside the complex on at least 1 occasion dinning out without any children??? Who were looking after them? Possibly they were sedated? as some media papers say, they certainly had means to do so (doctors)? Its very sad all the same as one post says " the truth will come out in the end".

Answer 6

Nine-week-old Australian baby Azaria Chamberlain disappeared on the night of 17 August 1980 on a camping trip with her family. Her parents, Lindy and Michael Chamberlain, reported that she had been taken from their tent by a dingo. An initial inquest, highly critical of the police investigation, supported this assertion. The findings of the inquest were broadcast live on television — a first in Australia. Subsequently, after a further investigation and second inquest, Azaria's mother, Lindy Chamberlain, was tried and convicted of her murder, on 29 October 1982 and sentenced to life imprisonment. Azaria's father, Michael Chamberlain, was convicted as an accessory after the fact and given a suspended sentence.

The media focus for the trial was extraordinarily intense and sensational. The Chamberlains made several unsuccessful appeals, including the final High Court appeal. After all legal options had been exhausted, the chance discovery of a piece of Azaria's clothing in an area full of dingo lairs led to Lindy Chamberlain's release from prison, on "compassionate grounds." She was later exonerated of all charges. While the case is officially unsolved, the report of a dingo attack is generally accepted. Recent deadly dingo attacks in other areas of Australia have strengthened the case for the dingo theory.

This case stayed reminded me of the McCann's case mainly

1)because people suspected the mother because of what they assumed was "lack of emotion'. As well, in the late 1990s, it emerged that there had been at least 400 documented dingo attacks on Fraser Island alone. Most were against children.

2)The prosecution successfully argued that the pivotal haemoglobin tests indicated the presence of foetal haemoglobin in the Chamberlains' car, and that it was a significant factor in the original conviction. But it was later shown that these tests were highly unreliable, and that similar tests conducted on a 'sound deadener' sprayed on during manufacture of the car, had yielded virtually identical results.

Lets not be quick to judge..they might be innocent.

Answer 7

Well I think that the Portugese police just have no idea and they messed up the enquiry so by naming the parents as suspects they will then say theres no concrete evidence and the parents will come back home, most people will say they must be guilty because they were suspects,everyone will forget about the police and poor Madeleine will still be missing and the parents lives ruined.
The evidence you say is mounting up against them is probably fabricated and as usual everyone believes the police,I do so hope someone comes forward with information or perhaps one of our newspapers could send someone out there to talk to a police officer on the enquiry who is not corrupt,then we will find out whats really going on.

Answer 8

They are not innocent at all. They are guilty of leaving their children unattended in the first instance. Who in their right mind would do that - and in a strange country?
I don't think the Portuguese Police would make all this infoirmation public if they hadn't reason to charge them - else they'll be left with egg on their faces.

I have suspected them all along - not that I'm in a position to judge - but call it feminine intuition if you like.

Answer 9

I think they are innocent, the evidence does not add up, there's no possible way they could have hidden her body for 25 days and then moved it, there's no possible way that if it were an accident that they could have gone about their dinner as normal, one of them by now 4 months later would have cracked, the only possible way that they are involved is if it is pre meditated and well planned but I don't think they had any involvment, I think maybe one of their friends is involved though...

Answer 10

I really hope they are innocent, but whether or not they are guilty of something more sinister, they should NEVER, EVER have left their three small children alone, even though they were nearby and regularly checked on them
