Basically most of you are saying " if they hadn't left her alone she wouldn't be missing" - everyone knows that's true - duh - but why keep repeating it? You people would rather take up for whatever sicko took her by saying its the parents fault instead of blaming the kidnapper - I don't understand you people. I really feel for you all because it is very possible this could happen to you under ANY circumstance. Then we'll all be here on Y/A to blame you - I'm sure we will find some kind of mistake you made that could have prevented it. (because all parents do)
I don't want to hear "you call leaving them alone a mistake? its neglect"
It doesn't matter if they apologize to the public a million times for leaving her alone - it's not going to bring her back.
I've read a million answers like that - move on.
She's gone - she needs to be found - no matter if they left her or not , some sicko has or had her and HE should be blamed.

I fully agree! To some extent parents do need to take some responsibility for where they leave their kids, who they leave them with and what type of activity is going on, where they leave their kids.
We live in a very dangerous, sick world, where a bunch of unhealthy people are running around and the level of caution and awareness should be heightened for every parent in these times. There are different scenarios, when it comes to a child being taken or molested, etc. These scenarios can determine, who may or may not be at fault for what happens to a child.
Scenario 1: A parent could be a drug attic, in a bathroom or back room somewhere, taking a hit, not really concerned about what their 3 year old child is doing, and the child could walk out in the street, get hit by a car, get kidnapped, bit by a dog, anything. In that case, it would be neglect on the parents end. Right?
Scenario 2: A woman in Iraq was in her home doing some light duty cleaning and allowed her 5 year old son to go out to play. While playing, a group of insurgents grabbed him, poured lighter fluid on his face and set him on fire, before fleeing the scene. The boy's Mother heard screaming and thought it was someone outside fighting. She ran outside, only to find her son on fire, with his face melting off and she fainted. He suffered massive burns, it hurts when he eats now and he does not want to go out and play anymore and is jealous of his little sister and other kids, because they don't look disfigured and don't have to worry about other kids not wanting to play with them or teasing them. After this happened, his Mother said "I wish I had never let him go out and play" and blamed herself for what happened to him, when he would have been perfectly fine, if those sick and evil men had not saw him and did what they did. A mother shouldn't have to feel guilty about letting her kids out to play. Just another example of the times we are now living in. It wasn't always like this.
This World is cruel and parents can only do so much to protect their children from what type of people are out there. It is not a parents fault, that sick people exist. Look what happened to Polly Class in Petaluma Ca. A man came in through her bedroom window (during a slumber party) and took her and killed her. Should that be her parents fault for not nailing the window shut? It just really sucks sometimes that so much crime is taken out on kids these days. They are so innocent and didn't ask to be here to suffer through this. I am the oldest of 5 and don't even want kids anymore because of the way the World is. It's not fair.

Wonderfully well said. I completely agree. I think we've got to get over this neglect thig and focus on the real issue that there could be a paedophile out there with that little girl.
And may I also say good on you for opening your self up to a barrage of abuse.
And this is the first Mcann question I've seen which has been posted and answered respectfully and handled as a discussion. I'm really impressed and hopefully this will signal the end of hte fuelled Mcann discussions.

It's the mentality of many in the USA to place blame versus fix a problem. Fixing a problem would be to eliminate a pedophile from society. Passing blame puts the burden on the parents and the lazy freaks that do the blaming have done their 'good deed' and now can go watch their Cable TV and go shopping.
It's laziness + buck passing until it happens to them. Then it's the authorities fault for not doing something about it and not putting rules in place.
I live in the USA for the record.

I totally agree!!
Very brave comment.
No parent is perfect.Every single parent in the world have made mistakes or poor judgments.It's part of parenting.Most of us are lucky enough to get away without anything bad happening.
I know I have guilty over the slightest mistake I have made concerning my children so...Can you imagine what the McCanns must be feeling.More so,what Madeleine has gone/going through.
You are so right that the focus must be on finding her.Gerry and Kate are going through every parents nightmare...Even if it was their fault for leaving the children.All children would be safe if there were no sick twits that go round nabbing them.

The reason they keep repeating it is because thats the only way they can keep up the hate campaign,there is no evidence and however many tabloids they read they cant find anything concrete,thats ALL they have got.

No one takes responsibility for anything anymore. Its just easier to blame someone else or make up an addiction. It doesnt make it right and it doesnt make people loathe man less.Maybe it just helps him deal with the embarrassment.

I think until the bad guy is captured we need someone to blame. The parents will always get it until then, they and we should get used to it. Its such a tragic situation we have to be able to say it cannot happen to us.

Nice try - but there's many on here who just can't accept that and would rather hound the parents for their own perverse entertainment.
