Madeleine McCann's parents

I also think it's really dodgy, I can't imagine how horrible it would be to lose a child under any circumstance nor would I ever want to happen to me/anyone else.

But writing a book about it? odd, very odd.
 
Portuguese police and locals believe that they prepared their own daughters kidnapping, actually, they sold her to some Arabs or something.

Now you can believe whatever you want here but why would they lie?
 
Its all subjective. We dont have any hard evidence to go on. So some people will support them, other people will automatically assume their guilty and treat them like social lepers.

Personally I think they were wreckless and brought it on themselves by leaving their child unsupervised like they did, but I dont believe they actually wanted her to be kidnapped.
 
They are both GP's I if they are both partners they will bring in 90 to 125k per year each. I don't think they need to write a book for a few extra quid.

I just see a sad couple who are very much at fault for losing their child, they are clinging on to the smallest bit of hope of getting her back and have probably become a little obsessed with it and completely devastated by the guilt.

I agree. No matter which way you look at it they have a large part to play, but it saddens me when people feel the need to get the old lynch mob mentality out and say they deserved losing a child and probably just did it for the money! They made a big mistake and will pay for it until they die. Isn't that enough?

I'd love the hard line crowd here to take their keyboards over to the McCann household and say all that to their faces (you'd probably be able to get in easily enough).

I don't think anyone deserves to lose a child, but what did they expect? Fairies to look after them?

What I can't stand is self promotion in light of such flagrant disregard of being a parent.
 
If it was a couple of chavs that had left their child in the hotel room whilst they were boozing it up and eating dinner then public opinion of them would have been much different, but because they are doctors that somehow makes it different.

I have no idea what is going on in their current life, but thought I heard they haven't returned to work at all since the incident

There's something not right about the McCanns, regardless of whether or not they are guilty of anything.

It's difficult to put a finger on it but something is there. They’re probably slowly being consumed by the guilt of having left her in that room. I’ll leave them to their fate.

I'm happy for them to tell their side of the story, but some of the book content is all rather irrelevant imo, in one section Kate Mccann explains how the stress of the search and all meant that she wasnt able to enjoy sex and how she was worried that she "needed to get their sex life back on track". I mean yes, tell your side of the story but is it really necessary to go into the ins and outs (no pun intended :) ) of the effects of it all on your sex life??

It was all over the front page yesterday.

She's sick as far as I am concerned.

I don't know what self-promotion you mean, but wouldn't it be to raise the profile of their plight?

Blimey, that is a bit weird. Have you read the book?

I've already given an example, their book would be another one.

We don't need to be drawn to their self induced plight, she is not going to be found.

Weren't there some issues over the charity funds as well at one point?
 
Tbh I think the not knowing must be worse than anything

Having lost a daughter through illness it's the sort of grief that never goes away
I can only imagine what my wife and I have been through is nowhere near as bad as what the mcanns go through every day with the not knowing

Yes they made the mistake of leaving their kids unattended BUT they have to life with that the rest of their lives if I were in their shoes I'd whore myself tO every tabloid and tv station to keep the search going
