Madeleine McCann's parents

Blimey posting in a thread where I strongly agree with Biohazard and Castiel!

Does anyone have a link to that booklet which was released, the McCanns put a Libel case against the author and was order to destroy all the physical and digital versions he had. I think it was called "60 reasons".

My mum would hunt the earth, I don't think she'd splash her sex life so flagrantly about however.

Each to their own perhaps, but they are a strange strange couple who talk about the wrong things.

My Mum wouldn't really care tbh, however woe betide anyone who decided my Son was a target, not that I would have left him alone in those circumstances to begin with mind.

But I agree, making sure that the hunt for Madeline continues and isn't forgotten is somewhat different from publishing an autobiography of yourself including intimate details of your love life.
 
The whole story reeks of corruption.

And amongst it all is a poor little girl either with some captives, or dead, by whom we don't know. But the victim here isn't the parents, it's the child.

Why write a novel details on sex life, why go out your way to do destroy any theory that against theirs.

I'm deeply saddened for the poor child not the parents which seems to be the media focus instead of a hurt/past child.

That's besides the point. But yes.

Harming me with mental imagary I don't need when I've just finished my breakfast :D

I can't say I'd cherish the thoughts myself but, I think it's not about them, it's about their missing child.

To be honest, they are not a couple I could warm to, especially as they are supposedly intelligent people yet their level of child care was to say the least, reprehensible BUT, I wouldn't wish what happened to their daughter on any parent.
Unless she is found, then no one will ever know the truth but that doesn't mean the McCanns were guilty of harming her!

This.

Their original actions in regards to the poor girl being abducted can be at best described as questionable, personally I would say negligible in regard to how little they gave a toss about their child.

My non expletive ridden opinion on the pair is that they have now accepted she is gone, which in itself is not a bad thing as you cannot live in hope forever, however I feel they have gave up on their child and settled for the "consolation" of having a life in the spotlight with some free cash. Scum.

But they were guilty of leaving 3 children unattended in a foreign country, so far away that they could not hear the kids if they were crying!

Their statements whether the doors/windows were locked all seem to change every time their are questioned about it so you don't even know if the kids could have wandered off by themselves. Or anything else could have happened between the times they were checked on.

If they died in a fire would people be saying that "it was a bad judgement to leave them on their own but everyone makes mistakes"?
 
Unbelievable. The McCann's are profiteering child killers...or more likely they're trying to keep the focus on finding their daughter? The world is full of compasionless idiots, they were in part responsible and will have to live with that guilt for the rest of their lives, it doesn't make them people trying to profit.

So you're denouncing them as scum on just a feeling? Seems harsh to me. But obviously, everyone's entitled to their own opinions, etc etc.

I can't really see anything else they could do though. Seems like they're strategy is:

1. Media exposure
2. Publication revenues
3. Private investigation
4. ???
5. Get child back

Working backwards, a private investigation is all they can do if police aren't actively looking. Publication revenues can provide more money than private income. Media exposure is easy to attract in this particular case and feeds into publication revenue.

Probably over analysing this :p

Agreed.

Seems like we are going to waste some more money on investigating it - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13378289 :rolleyes:

From the BBC link:
Earlier, in open letter published by the Sun, Madeleine McCann's parents asked Mr Cameron to launch an "independent, transparent and comprehensive" review of all information relating to the disappearance of their daughter.​

Why are they writing to Cameron now? Could they not have done that a year ago - or did they still have some money left in the "fund" then ;)

so now our tax payers money is going to be used to fund the met police and home office to find her child.

Because of their negligence.
 
I agree with the OP, they are making a fortune from their experience.... the fact is.. if it was a couple of ****** from a sink estate that had left there kids alone in the hotel room while they went off to eat, they would have been slaughtered by the press and media.
... Im sure they would want their daughter back and for this never to have happened, but as it did happen, they are making the best of it...and some!
 
Maybe Cameron can do us all a favour get someone who has the bottle to go over it yet again and charge them with child abuse aka gross neglect. Why they have not got done amazes me. That mum got away with a lot considering she says nobody understands her and everyone is out to get her because she has small boobs or whatever tripe she is spilling out to the media these days.

Indeed. How they were never charged or at least investigated by social services beggars belief.

What annoys me is that there was facilities for them to provide adequate care and supervision for their children while they socialised, they simply choose not to.

As sympathetic to any parent losing a child as I am, I just find it hard not to think that they are as responsible for her disappearance as whoever took her, merely by their absolute negligent lack of care.
 
Even if they were ever to find Madeline now, do they think they could get back to a normal life ?
Any reasonable therapist would tell them to get over it, but obviously they have a greedy one who recommends not give up hope.

I don't think I've ever been on a forum which was frequented by so many saints, perfect parents, behavioural psychologists, legal experts and amateur sleuths.:eek:
