My opinion seems to go against the grain of this thread, but I don't think the Mcanns were involved in their daughters disappearance in any way. I don't know what happened to Madeline, but I do have huge compassion for Kate and Gerry.
I know that people say 'they shouldn't have left their kids on their own that night', but they have paid a huge price for that action. At the end of the day, nobody is perfect, and they will regret that for the rest of their lives.
I feel so sorry for them, their lives must be a living nightmare.
They don't deserve people accusing them, and being nasty about them on top of everything else they have been through IMO.
I can't believe that the police stopped looking for that little girl years ago. How would that make you feel as a parent -it's disgusting.
To all those mummies who have said such awful things about these poor people - have a heart, please,
I have a heart thank you, and in my heart there's a big place for little Madeleine McCann. There is NO part however for her so-called 'parents' who, despite the fact their daughter was apparantely kidnapped and could potentially be in the clutches of a paedophile ring, see fit to CONTINUE to almost justify what they did & try to make out it was a normal thing to do! They talk of the guilt they felt, not the guilt they feel. They called it 'what any reasonable parent would do'. If they are wracked with guilt and their lives are a living nightmare, they do as good a job as hiding that as they do about lying about what really happened. I would be wracked with the most god awful guilt and constantly be saying I had made the biggest mistake ever. They refuse to do this. You haven't got your child & you still can't hold your hands up & admit liability? They are, at the least, deluded.
I'm sorry but if people are 'nasty' about them, they only have themselves to blame!
People don't like them because their stories CONSTANTLY change. One minute Kate is on tape saying she never searched for Madeleine's body. The next, her published book says she did. Well did she, or didn't she? Why is her story changing - that is NOT something you forget. The stories of their friends are riddled with inconsistancies.
People don't like them because they are sneaky. They refused to hand over their credit card records. They refused to have their twins tested for drugs, despite Kate suggesting HERSELF that she felt the twins had been drugged by an abductor hense their sleepyness. Kate says she'd do anything, but she refused to answer the police's questions. They ignored advice from the police at the earliest stage not to release details of Madeleine's disntinctive eye because it would be like signing her death warrant. I'm sorry, but you can't go against firm advice with your daughters wellbeing in mind & then complain in the next breath that the police didn't do what you wanted them to do!
Can you HONESTLY tell me you don't find it strange that on finding her daughter missing, despite Kate saying Madeleine DOES get out of bed & infact had a reward chart in which 'not getting out of bed' was rewarded, your first insticnt would be that your child had been taken? Not that they had wondered out, scared, looking for you? She shouted, 'they've taken her'. She then left, in a room where her baby girl had been snatched from, her two twins. These are reasons why people are so suspicious...and there's hundreds more if you read this thread.
The view of the British media is that a poor little british girl was snatched whilst her 'poor suffering' parents dined a few yards away, 'in view'. What rubbish. The media and the McCanns try to tell us what to FEEL about this story, and don't want us to think about it too much. Anyone who does, just doesn't have a heart because how could we say anything nasty about these poor people? Nevermind the fact there is more evidence of foul play and coverups than an abduction!
People do not like it but THEY NEGLECTED THEIR CHILDREN. Madeleine has payed the ultimate price for that - SHE deserves our sympathy.
Rubbish.
