McCanns going too far?

they used to do this baby minding thing at butlins if i remember rightly, it just went something like some guy walks past your chalet or waits for it to get reported. if baby cries you get a call for it.

This was going on when I was a baby back in t'50s.
Even Hi De Hi used to make jokes about it.

No doubt eased by the £1.4 million pounds received in donations.

Do they keep that money to spend on holidays, new car etc?
if so then its shocking.
 
No, but perhaps they could use it to adopt a new Daughter. Who knows, perhaps if they paid for one they may take better care of it this time.

My mum & dad were also child neglecters.
They used to leave me in a Butlins chalet and let someone listen on me.
We didn't have 0800 1111 in those days though.
 
jeeze you guys, do you have kids yourself?

yes they made a mistake, but it still takes some "expletive" to take the poor mite, the money would mean absolutely nothing for return of her

:(

Mistake? How is killing and disposing of your 3 year old Daughter a mistake?

I will ask you the question I asked Scorza earlier, what evidence is there she was taken?
 
:eek:

Nah, I still maintain they killed her, most probably accidentally or found her already dead, then panicked and decided to construct this abduction story that just snowballed out of their control.

That is pretty much my sentiments, Kate lost her rag, smacked the child, child fell, banged her head, Gerry helps cover it up, pure conjecture but it would fit.

Based on that level of evidence so would her having been "beamed up" to the mothership by lizards... :confused:
 
yeah DMPoole but im talking about in the 80's it was still happening not sure when it stopped.

Mark Warner (company the McCanns holidayed with) stopped offering the service just after the abduction, I'm not sure about the other companies but they'll probably have either stopped or renamed their equivalent services due to the publicity.

I would say the only way the parents could have been responsible is if the whole thing was very carefully planned. There's no way they could have disposed of the body that well leaving no hard evidence in the panic that would have taken place after an accident/randomly finding her dead.
