Are the McCanns an example to follow?

Question

They neglect their babies, they may also have accidently killed one of them, they are official suspects in Maddies disappearance, they are international household names, they are very wealthy as a direct result, they show no stress or emotion, they have people supporting their actions and they still have their liberty. Are they Superbiengs. And no I'm obsessed, I want justice, hence all these questions posted.

Answer 1

Your very obsessed with that family, take some time out in a secure hospital lol.
as for your question the answer is NO.

Answer 2

Oh dear yoda1can.

You have just fallen into the trap like many others have done.,

I have found that, unless you have something bad to say about the Kate and Gerry show, then like me, people will assume that you are pro-murder and anti-justice.

Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. I am very keen to see justice done. I mean real justice, not lynch-mob justice based on speculation.
Part of the UK system of justice is that people are regarded as innocent until proven guilty
Another part of the UK justice system is that we require real evidence, not 'vox pop' and public speculation


Time will prove you, me and others right OR wrong. I cannot see the future and I do not know.
I doubt we will see anyone saying i knew they were Guilty (or not guilty) ..... because that would be supremely arrogant and would imply that they had evidence that the justice system was not privy to (or that they could foresee the future)

you like me have our opinions, if You are proved wrong you state that you will say sorry.
Well that's good. because you have something to be sorry for. you have made unfounded claims, and have indulged in almost libellous, hateful, wicked speculation.

If they were found guilty, I would have no need to say sorry to anyone. Definately not to you, or your ilk. I have made no nasty claims. I have made no spiteful accusations. I have merely extended sympathy to a grieving couple, and resepcted the cornerstone of british justice - 'innocent until proven guilty'

Answer 3

I would strongly suggest that you go and take a course in human psychology. You just might learn all the different facets of human behaviour and then apply a little compassion.

Whilst I do not condone their actions my heart bleeds for this family especially Madeleine. The mistake Gerry and Kate McCann has cost them dearly they will have to live with it others of us also make mistakes but never be found out so they will not be ostracised for evermore as will the McCanns.

Answer 4

Let me take this point by point, please :
1.They neglect their babies
So they are NOT an example to follow. Babies should NEVER be left unattended.

2.they may also have accidently killed one of them,
As you yourself say "may have"... we should ignore this as you know is very wrong, unfair & cruel to accuse people of murder WITHOUT PROOF.

3.they are official suspects in Maddies disappearance,
So was Robert Murat. The investigation procedure.... there is still NO PROOF that they are guilty.

4.they are international household names,
Yup, they didn't ask to be...all they wanted was international coverage for their Madeleine which is right & good & proper, don't you think.

5.they are very wealthy as a direct result,
If you're refering to the fund, its not their wealth & they don't use it for their living expenses. They have repeatedly stated that this fund will be donated to the cause of missing children once they have conclusive evidence that their Madeleine is no more. Which is a very good thing.

6. they show no stress or emotion,
Um...Kate shows no stress??? the woman looks as tho' she is on the brink of a breakdown...she is withering & losing weight by the minute...can't you see plain, stark grief & desperation in her every gesture. I can. Gerry is a man. Most men clam up. Am sure he cries himself to sleep every night...wouldn't you?

7.they have people supporting their actions
Yes, i do. They need this support. You should too.

8. and they still have their liberty.
Sure...there is NO PROOF they are guilty. Can they search for their baby from a prison cell???

9. Are they Superbiengs
No. And neither are you & i.

Answer 5

What do we know? They left their young children in a room alone while they socialised. For this reason I'd say no, they are not a good example.

That, I'm afraid, is it. We don't know anything else. All the other points you've made are pure speculation. You, worryingly, seem to have already tried them and found them guilty. I and, no doubt, everyone else also want justice. Clear evidence based on facts, not supposition, hearsay and rumour mongering.

Answer 6

You only ever ask or answer questions on the McCanns!

Obsession:

1: a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling; broadly : compelling motivation
2: something that causes an obsession

Answer 7

Why do we bother having a justice system at all Theo?

Your daft questions won't influence the outcome of all this.

Btw have you got as far as delusions of grandeur or obsessive thoughts in your psychology degree studies yet?

Answer 8

Step off your soap box and push it back under your chair. You have no right to start screaming for justice. Who are you? Are you related to Madeleine? No I didn't think so.

You would have been one of those people in the Middle Ages who starts the rumours of a witch in the village.

It's uncalled for and unhealthy

Answer 9

Oh, to be just like you Theo!

Wait a minute, what am I talking about? You're an un-educated, miserable, obsessive, snivelling little article of a human being.

Who would want to be you?

Answer 10

What a very silly question!

And I really can't understand how provocative and speculative questions posted in the obscurity of YA can in any way advance the cause of justice, which you so heroically claim to be seeking.
