Cable Forum - Madeleine McCann

They are saying its damaged their reputation I would have though leaving 3 young children unattended and 1 going missing is more damage than what this book can cause

"Mr Amaral must show he had good reason to believe his allegations were true and he made them in good faith.

Unlike in the UK, the McCanns would be eligible for only nominal compensation."

he seems to be sticking to his guns though ,- he named them as suspects and has not wavered from his belief that maddy died in the resort apartment

But given his department's "Laurel and Hardy" approach to the investigation I'd second guess the guy even if he told me it was raining and I was standing there getting wet.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann

While we all know the investigation was not a shining example of police work he has written this book and made his tv show quite a while after the events i would assume he has taken some if not a lot of legal advice and feels comfortable he can validate what he is claiming. He is certainly a persistent man and while it might all be a big scam to cover up any failings maybe he does have something i guess time will tell as this is definately going to a court soon.

I bet anyone, that IF this does go to court - Sky will be there to film every minute, if this idiotic cop, is prepared to fight this claim against the McCanns, then my saying is - watch this space.

Should the PM Have Got Involved?

Following an open letter from Madeleine McCann's mother Kate, David Cameron has agreed for the Government to help the search for Maddie, four years after her disappearance in Portugal.

Is he playing to the gallery?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann

I've been reading this searliasation in the Sun. To me, when reading it, they seem to blame everyone else apart from themselves for maddie still being missing. From the police, to the hotel receptionist. They said they didnt get a baby sitter because they didnt want their kids in the company of a stranger whilst they were out eating only about 'a 45 second walk' away. What a load of crock. The people most to blame for the kid being missing is themselves, through their own selfishness of leaving 3 kids, the oldest being 4, in a room alone (not even in their own home) whilst they went out to enjoy wine and tapas with their mates.
