If the child friendly resort the familt chose had inadequate baby sitting facilities then the family should have made other arrangements for their evening time.
1/ Earlier meals with the kids in high chairs at the table
2/ Takeway / bbq on the patio of their apartment
3/ Staggering their dining so the kids have family / friend supervision.
I know you wouldnt leave your child unattended Miss Squarseypants, but what urks me is a soft soft approach on the parents by some of the public and currently all of the media.
Their despicably selfish act led directly to the fate of that poor girl. Whatever happened after they made the decision to leave them alone is as a direct result of their negelectful actions.

this sort of rumour mongering will only harm the search.

Does anybody know how long they where in Portugal before the abduction took place ?
It has never been reported but an un-named member of Hotel staff has reported the kids where in the crech all day every day and the parents where always out in the evening without them leading up to the mysterious dissapearance of the eldest daughter.
The parents are not telling the whole story sorry if it seems unaceptable to some but something isnt right about Mummy and Daddy and the grief they are suffering.
The mum does have a good make up artist and hair stylist though dont you think, she always looks impeccable.

i have seen a photo taken from their balcony from the previous holiday makers and you can clearly see the front of the Tapas bar from it. the apartment was not out of sight. the only thing they couldnt see was the doorway which was in a recess.
i know its does not excuse what happened but the parents obviously thought it was safe enough
their judgement was wrong

I make it 60m in a straight line! So not very far at all.
The animosity on here should be directed at whoever took Maddie in the first place. Not the parents who, in hindsight (and isn't that a wonderful thing!!), made an error of judgement.

For me they should be charged with child abandonmemt, if and when they get Maddie back, but theres nothing a court could impose on them, if they found her dead, the thought that she died cos of there ERROR IN JUDGEMENT will be punishment enough.

I believe the parents made a serious error in judgement.
As parent I would never EVER do it myself, but I have seen people doing this sort of thing on holiday (while out on my own!) and thought it was bad (what if the kid started choking etc..).
What I will make sure that I DO see is some humble pie being eaten by certain individuals on here IF it is proved without a doubt that her parents are NOT part of some conspiracy to obtain money by using their daughter.
In summary,
Lack of Judgement? - Yes
Conclusion to obtain money?- Lets wait and see.
Nonces shooting their mouths off without putting their brains in gear?? - Lets wait and see.
I hope they find her, I hope she gets over it all, I hope that any spare money is put to a good cause, I hope people admit their mistakes.

Wake up and smell the bacon mate, Why shouldn't some anger be aimed at the parents ?......made an error in judgement, FFS if it had been a couple of chav's off a council estate you would be slagging them off to ****, calling for them to hung drawn and quarted, but cos its 2 well to do doctors, its an error in judgment.

As for their jobs, totally irrelevant. They could well have been *chavs* as you say but my reasoning would have been the same.

Child goes missing, huge amount of sympathy for parents. Parents start fund. Loads of money comes in. Man makes call, ransom demanded, ransom paid by some mug like Branson. Child returned........ 6 months later the McGanns get their share from the 'kidnapper'.
Sound far fetched?

Interesting stories over the past week...
...Kate McCann interviewed on her own - which in itself was seen as being significant as Gerry always answered questions about leaving Maddie. Mrs McCann seemed to be less 'encouraged' by the fact that other people would also have left their kids alone. Second point is that they only had kids after years of trying and IVF - really underlines the significance to them.
...the British police seem to have got invovled - with some progress - the latest rumours are the Maddie was injured, possibly died in the apartment on the night.
...there is no evidence linked to Murat
...they will know today whether the girl in Holland was Maddie

This is another one of those threads were you hope your right about thinking negative.
I hope the posters who say this was all staged are right because at least the Kid is safe...
At the end of the day **** the parents, **** the money and **** all the attention !
There is a scared little girl out there somewhere (hopefully) that I think we all want returned home safe !!

What makes me laugh and i have not seen it mentioned is that the chief suspect Robert Murat without his glasses on looks very much like Daddy Mcann, from a distance in the dark it would be very easy to say '' I saw somebody who looks like Murat'' not for one minute thinking loving Daddy was doing something we all wished he wasnt.
My money is still on Dearest Daddy having done the deed.For all those who will now probably flame me and gasp at my opinion, in most of these cases somebody very close to home/family has something to do with it.
One of the best i've seen was the girl who appeared on live TV appealing for the arrest of the road rage killer of her boyfriend, sitting next to his distraught parents looking very very upset.
Guess who had stabbed him and put the knife into the petrol tank hoping it wouldnt be found with her DNA on it.
Daddy doesnt and has never looked that upset to me throughout all this.

If the father killed her then the mother must be complicit and I can't believe they would have calmly gone for a few drinks with other people afterwards and behaved normally. That's why I don't think your theory is correct.

His wife may also be in on it, who knows there is something not right with either of them but for me Daddy would be the prime suspect.
Theory:
They are having a meal with friends, child gets out of bed hurts herself someway, her loving parents arrive back hours later, child is dead.
Daddy being ohh so calm and collected decides lets get rid of the body and then we can hide everything by shouting abduction.
Or Daddy during one of his supposedly 1/2 hourly visits kills her and disposes of the body, gets back to the dinner table 15 minutes later to tell guests that the kids where awake, sorry i'm late back. Mummy blissfully unaware of events.
It goes way beyond what Daddy/both expect (Press coverage) but he/they have no choice but to carry on the pretence, upset yes, but carry on they do, as he/they know the repercussions of his/their actions if they where to admit to what actually happened.
Only a theory of course but something isnt right.

I simply do not think it likely.
...there was one more story from the weekend that I missed in my little update above...
...there is a Spanish paedophile who has just killed himself after taking and probably killing a young girl in Switzerland. There is no body but her clothes have been found neatly piled up.
The relevance is that that he was on holiday in the same resort as Maddie at the same time. He also drives a white van and there was a white van of the type parked behind Maddie's villa on the night she disappeared.
Coincidence? Maybe.

The biggest reason I don't buy the parents involvement is because the girls body hasn't been found.
These people were on holiday with barely any knowledge of the area. During some accident or intention the child dies and the body still isn't found months later.
I think the child was taken, put on a boat and then when whoever took her was finished with her, killed her and tipped the body over the side.
We can only hope that whoever did take her gets caught. Hopefully it won't be in this country because the hatred towards the person would force our idiotic government to provide them with a new name and a new life to protect them.

Who said the mother was complicit, she may not know, look at Ian Huntleys girlfriend she backed him 100% even though she knew what he had done, it was only when he was charged did she come out in her own defence.
His wife may also be in on it, who knows there is something not right with either of them but for me Daddy would be the prime suspect.
