when she was older do you think she would say to Gerry and Kate:
"Don't worry. You were just naive. I too would have thought it was perfectly safe to leave 3 young children in an unlocked apartment that they had only known for 6 days.
And you are right, our back garden has a gigantic swimming pool in it with a main road that runs through the back, and lots of foreign people who youve never met wandering around in it."
Or do you think she would change her name by deed poll, go into hiding from Gerry and Kate and leave them a courteous 2 word note telling them to 'F off!'.

She would understand.
When you go on holiday, you are generally more relaxed. It was their last night and they were dining with friends and thought they had a pretty secure system of getting regular checks. Im sure that until this tragedy happened that no-one would think "right, better stay in as if we dont stay with the kids, one of them will be taken." of course that didnt cross their mind.
At least one positive came of it - parents have been made aware of all posibilities of what could happen if you left your kids alone, and are more careful now due to the madeleine mccann case.
course she wouldnt change her name - she would just have to type her name in "google" or "youtube" and that alone would give her enough to know that yes her parents made a mistake but they did EVERYTHING they could to find her.

IF she is alive and being brought up in a loving caring family, then she will have little recollection of her parents in 10 years time.
And if, in 15 years time she was told the truth, I think she would be curious to know her real parents - but I don't think she'd like them very much.

I think she'd sell her story. I do not believe for one minute that leave the 3 young children was a one off.

Just back off for a while. They already know that leaving them alone that night was a mistake. They have been paying for it every day since. Noone knows what maddie if she does come back will feel in the future

I think she would be very upset at the way she was treated that night. Going out to dinner was more important than their daughter's safety.

She will change her name and go into hiding, but it would be lovely if she did return to have the chance to do that.

Hey, Dave S is still here and still on about the McCanns. I hpoe you have that counselling/psychiatry sorted out for your obsession with this topic.
It seems that you are developing another one about Amy Winehouse.
I expect this is because you believe that you are perfect. From what you write it sounds as though you have a superiority complex and feel the need to criticise people who you think do not match your own, superlative, standards.
With all the badness in the world Dave, don't you think it may be time to be a little more forgiving of people who make mistakes or who have problems that they are finding difficult to solve. I'm sure that if you ever had a problem you wouldn't want all your loved ones to point out what they would have done instead and that it was your own stupid fault and you deserve all you get. You'd hopefully want them to help you out and advise on what could be done to alleviate the problem.
All your vindictive rantings are getting a little tiresome and i'm certain it's not good for your health. Try to be a little more positive in life rather than finding the bad in every situation try and find the good. Instead of pointing out the problems, try and find solutions.
Happy Christmas Dave. I hope you, your family and loved ones have a peaceful and happy time.

Let's say I would hope she would disown them and prove to the world how much they cared, when she needed them most...

I think they are paying a huge price for the mistake they made, and i bet a lot of parents have left their kids alone once or twice, but are too ashamed to admit it.
She is too young to remember what happened, lets hope she is safe and well.

Lets say she did, ( she won't, but hypothetically ) she will still grow up to love them. Don't forget children love their parents whatever they do.. even abused children still want their parents. She will grow up with the awful memory of where she has been, and see her parents as her protectors.
She will not leave the family, as you suggest.
Having said that, I doubt she will excuse it, I think it will be a subject they don't bring up. Taboo sort of.
