"Have they checked the rovers return? Seriously? Ligthen up Ffs its 6 yrs ancient history. Topical joke. Lord.lucan unsolved is it wrong to jest on that?" Lord Lucan wasnt a child that wet missing. you will find that lots of people will find any sort of joke or even non support of the family in bad taste on threads about Maddie McCann. You ca either make the jokes and accept the backlash or keep schtumm really. Personally i still believe that the parents had something to do with ad never understand why they havent been bought to task about leaving 3 small children alone so they could go out and have fun but hey ho. The situation is sad and i hope she is ok, maybe a miracle will happen but i doubt it. | |||

" i always thought her parents were totally out of order to leave the children alone and you're right about their status - they have been treated with kid gloves as they're teribly 'respectable' my thoughts are entirely with Maddy but i doubt we'll ever know what happened. Bless her. Z | |||

"I didn't even get the joke of Rovers return so don't know if it is bad taste or not. I don't think I want to be enlightened but maybe just to get back to the OP. I can't believe how quick it has gone, but, like I said then, they will have to live with the fact that they thought food and drink was more important than the safety of their children." thats if what we saw in the news was right, could be a complete cover up!!! And whats wrong with keeping sleeping toddlers in buggys by the side of you when eating/drinking on holiday. We rented a villa last year and i had to have my toddler near all the adults when asleep in the buggy and not in the bed room! You just never know who coukd be watching. | |||

"My thoughts and prayers go out to the McCann family no1 deserves to lose a child!! Hope she's well and gets back to her mother and father soon. X" I think they were involved. Statistically speaking 80% of malicious child deaths occur due to a family member. So no sympathy from me but sorrow for the loss of an innocent little girl's life. | |||

"If I agree with the comments or not, everyone is entitled to an opinion and to express it. I do not agree with some contributors sentiments, but I acknowledge their right to have some in the truly bizarre and almost unique case. I cannot myself understand why 2 intelligent people could even dream of leaving 3 small children alone in a holiday room to drink and eat with other holiday makers a significant distance from their children. I cannot understand why no prosecution for child neglect was brought. The father is a heart specialist and the mother a GP. I have to say if I had a heart problem and he stood up as I walked into the consulting room I would say : " Sorry I'd like to see another specialist" and if she was my sole GP I's change practices as you have to wonder at their sense of judgement. Whatever the truth of what happened to that poor child that night, and I am in no position to give a qualified opinion on what happened to Maddy, I find the actions of her parents incomprehensible. If they were Wayne and Waynetta Slob of 33 Shite street, Shite Estate, shitesville on the dole, they would have been hammered" | |||

I'm sad at what happened to the poor girl but I'm honestly don't give a monkey's what her parents are going through. Look at what your child is going through because you couldn't be arsed to get a babysitter or cancel. Your children are priority Number One wherever you are. How this isn't classed as negligence is beyond me. | |||

"Has anyone actually grasped the concept of innocent till proven guilty. Seems beyond some folk to me. Folk complain about trial by media what about trial by fab. Opinion is onevthing but fine line between that and slander." It seems to me that the main thread running through this forum post is that the parents were wilfully neglectful in leaving 3 small children alone, in a holiday resort to drink and eat a considerable distance from said children over a considerable period of time. Allied to the fact that if the said parents had been unemployed from a sink council estate and not Doctors, then a castigation and prosecution for child neglect would have been a real possibility. You are of course entitled to your opinion and I welcome it. But I honestly fail to see how the above is NOT proven and how it is slanderous. | |||

I truly feel for that little girl but I'm going to lay down a harsh reality: It's been six years.

"whilst I don't condone what they done in leaving their children .. I would probably say that most parents have made decisions that they have later thought were not the best decisions .. this one had devastating consequences and I'm sure that their lives have been plagued ever since wishing they had made other decisions " I would disagree, I would say that only a tiny minority of intelligent, professional £ 100,000 plus earning parents would not have acted in the way Maddy's parents did | |||

I would probably say that most parents have made decisions that they have later thought were not the best decisions .. this one had devastating consequences and I'm sure that their lives have been plagued ever since wishing they had made other decisions I would disagree, I would say that only a tiny minority of intelligent, professional £ 100,000 plus earning parents would not have acted in the way Maddy's parents did" all that money and not willing pay for babysitters...Irresponsible behaviour and totaly different to parents making mistakes in general when raising kids | |||

" i remember hearing blood and hair samples that matched maddy were found in the boot of the family car which was put down to a picnic blanket and a grazed knee " So it seems the blood and hair samples where found in the boot of the car they hired two days after Maddy going missing. | |||

" It seems to me that the main thread running through this forum post is that the parents were wilfully neglectful in leaving 3 small children alone, in a holiday resort to drink and eat a considerable distance from said children over a considerable period of time. Allied to the fact that if the said parents had been unemployed from a sink council estate and not Doctors, then a castigation and prosecution for child neglect would have been a real possibility. You are of course entitled to your opinion and I welcome it. But I honestly fail to see how the above is NOT proven and how it is slanderous." Totally agree, well said! | |||

Everybody panders to them, like they are the victims, maddie was the victim, the parents should be strung up!!! Simple " | |||

"Ive always said, if it was a single mother on a housing estate nipping next door to the pub for a drink and leaving 3 children under 5 would it be treated the same?" That always bothered me at the time. If we were in a different country and our kid woke up to find us not there, she'd out and out panic! Plus, with children that young, they're at risk of injuring themselves and one another by any number of commonplace means. And yes - it seemed to be the case that because the parents in this case were middle-class professionals, their neglectful actions were not questioned sufficiently. God knows they've paid for their mistake and no-one would wish that loss on them, but working-class parents would have been harshly criticised for the same actions. | |||

"There are a lot of scary opinions here. Hope I never end up in front of a jury for something I am innocent of. All that is certain is a little girl is missing.The parents were negligent, but that is all that is certain." Totally agree. | |||

"I am not saying what they did was right or wrong. I remember as a child going to Pontin's holiay camp and we were left in Chalets whilst our parents were out and patrols came round, if a child was crying a call was put out that the parents of a child in chalet no whatever was crying. This was, and I;m showing me age here 45 years ago. Then it wasn't frowned upon" But, i'm guessing your mum/dad didn't put drugs in your last cup of water before bedtime 'to help you sleep' though! | |||

"Some of the posts here border on the slanderous and libellous side of the law and care needs to be taken when making unfounded accusations. All it needs is someone to pick up on this and folk could get done. Remember the false accusations made against lord mcalpine. Think before accusing folk." Agree. Apart from libellous some of the comments are dreadful and sanctimonious. Take a look at your own lives and criticise when you are perfect. | |||

"Has anyone actually grasped the concept of innocent till proven guilty. " It means the courts must assume a 'suspect' on trial will not be convicted... innocent is the default setting of the legal system...until someone finds evidence that he/she is guilty. It does not mean people cannot be suspected... if it did, no one would ever be arrested or questioned. The Portuguese police suspected the parents and never really ruled them out - they just shelved the investigation. | |||
