McCanns going too far?

I hear they released 50 balloons in 50 different countries today to bring awareness to Madelyn's disappearance.

I mean FFS I think they are milking it a bit. She must be the most well known missing child in the history of missing children. And whilst I am sorry to hear that she has gone missing and as a parent myself I can think of nothing worse that to have this happen. Who's ******* fault is it? What kind of irresponsible SOB goes on a night out and leaves their 3 year old and 2 year old children unattended! :mad:

Why have they not been prosecuted and had the twins taken away, they are clearly not fit to be parents.

And now what are these sorry SOBs doing? They are milking the public attention and basking in their 15 min of fame.

If they had left her unattended for half an hour, and the kid had burnt the apartment down killing everyone within, the parents would be in jail now for neglect.

Are you also as concerned about the other 340+ missing children since she disappeared?

Of course. If I walked past one on the street on the way home from work tonight I wouldn't know it though - which is why the McCann's have to keep Maddy in the public eye.
 
Remember that those figures aren't directly applicable. Those are the numbers that are reported to go missing. The figures don't go any further to explain how many turned up safely and how many simply ran away from home when their parents wouldn't let them watch TV, and how many were abducted.

And what about the others, don't you want their faces to be known? Maybe they should all start releasing thier own single and then we can have some kind of sick Top of The Missing Children's Pops.

(If you hadn't noticed I find this extremley distasteful)

Couldn't agree more, they are 70% to blame and are now milking everything out of it.
 
So what if your annoyed a little about the story keep reappearing in the news every other day. As long as it helps in the search for the girl I can put up with it and so should all of you.

Only thing that does slightly annoy me is any other kids that are missing that don't get the publicity.

If Sarah Payne's grandparents hadn't left her alone then she would still be alive today. Oooh lets round up a hate mob and go harrass them shall we? :rolleyes:

I'm up for that. You driving?

Seriously though, they still played a role in her abduction. I'm not saying harass them for it but they need to remember if they hadn't left Sarah, she would be alive.

Whats distasteful about two parents doing everything they can to try and get their abducted daughter back? Would you feel the same if it was a muslim couple?

Of course I think more should be done to find missing children, but there is a question of priorities.

70%???

They are 100% to bame. Would Maddy be missing if they stayed in? Would she be missing if there was a baby sitter?

100%? Come on... If some sicko didn't have urges to abduct young children then she wouldn't be missing. This isn't a perfect world though so parents do take responsability. How much is a good question and doesn't have a definite answer IMO. They certainly aren't solely responsible (if we're to believe one of the parents isn't involved in her abduction) though.

Unless the Mccans have suddenly become Sirens how is it going to help?
They already have enough money, they should start implementing it into much better ways.
Or even start trying to realise that she may never be found and perhaps donate to a cause which will prevent it happening to other children.

Who said she was abducted?

In this case I think it is clear where to point the finger. If there was a responsible adult minding the 3 children then she would not have gone missing.
Additionally how did the "sicko" get in? why did the "sicko" not take the other 2?

There is more to this than we know about.

Releasing a single??? If you can't see it then no point in saying it.

And WTF has religion got to do with anything???? You really do make some ignorant comments.

Equally so, would she be missing if someone didn't take her?

Even if they had stayed in, someone could have taken her. Granted, not as likely to happen, but there is still a probability associated.

Lets say that there is a probability that a certain child will be kidnapped. There is ALWAYS a probability that they could be kidnapped. This probability can increase or decrease based on things which directly relate to the event. Eg...

a) The location of the parents
b) The (potential kidnapper)
c) The time of day
d) The state of mind of the child

and a million other things.

It just so happened that on the day, a series of events which, by happening in a particular order gave rise to the current situation.

Therefore, although the parents are responsible, it is no way correct to place the blame entirely on them imo.
