Quite right :tu:

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Makes no difference, the distance from my decking area to the house is about the same distance as the Tapas bar to the McCanns apartment.

So if I lived on a 1000 acre estate, as long as I stay on my property that's alright is it?

I'd weigh up the risks, same as anyone.

I live in a secluded area, many ways in and out, If I was to consider my home safe, am I not being as complacent as the McCanns?

---------- Post added at 13:08 ---------- Previous post was at 13:04 ----------

Point I'm making is, as I did in the other thread on this topic:

Is that people do what the McCanns did, at home, across the country all the time. Especially in the summer.

Even if you only have a house with a small garden, if you're outside, and the kid is inside, it is no different.

And all those with conspiracy theories about the McCanns, evidence, evidence, evidence. You really think they haven't been investigated??? get real.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Did they? :shrug: We only have there word on that.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I don't know them, do you?

What reason would you have to doubt their word?

They look like two sensible people to me.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

That's the point isn't it. To you they are, to most others they aren't. No one would leave their kids whilst they go off their property for a meal in a foreign country. No matter what the distance is.

How would it look if they said they didn't check on the kids periodically? I'm sure they had to say that to make themselves look that little bit more responsible especially under the circumstances.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Members are forgetting one small little thing.

Where the McCanns were having a meal with friends. The children were being checked every 30 minutes by BOTH family and friends.

I still say that NO parent is at fault. Every parent has there own way of looking after there OWN kids. I have done it many times. Itsthe way you do it.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

No I don't, but I can not understand how just day's later they went out jogging, he went and played a game of tennis if nothing had happened. I can only speak for myself but I would have been searching for my child rather than going out for a game of tennis or for a run, and definitely not letting my other children out my sight.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Most others? got the numbers to back that up? or for "most" do you mean "you"

Really? again what have you got to back up that statement, or for "no one" do you mean "you"

Idle speculation

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

And if they were being watched by the abductor, 30 mins is plenty of time to take the child. What if they had a baby sitter?

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Harold Shipman looked like a nice and sensible person !!

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

That has nothing to do with it, people deal with grief the best way they know how.

I was 17 when my dad died, after I was told, I went out and played football with my friends

good that's a start.

Even if I believe the jogging/tennis bit. What's it to be? going out searching or looking after the other kids.

---------- Post added at 13:30 ---------- Previous post was at 13:29 ----------

Now that is a sensible point.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Both one parent could search and the other look after the children.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

To be honest, I really hope you are a minority in your way of thinking and I will go as far as saying that you are. I would just put it down to common sense whether or not it is or isn't the right thing to do.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Yes, and he was caught. Evidence was found.

But until such evidence is found to build a case against the McCanns I have no reason to doubt them.

If the Portuguese and British police have failed to build a case against them, I doubt a load of discussion forum conspiracy trolls can.

---------- Post added at 13:35 ---------- Previous post was at 13:33 ----------

Have you, never ever, left a child in the house sleeping whilst you've been outside, in the gaden or something?

If not, fair enough, but I would bet you are in the minority.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I just think they should admit some fault by leaving there children that's all. It was wrong IMHO whether people agree or not that is my opinion.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

A very interesting read, I only hope the truth comes out soon.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

The only one who has been let down here is Madeline McCann by who, you decide I know where I lay the blame.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

and you're absolutely entitled to it.

And I agree with you, of course they are responsible 100%. They are totally at fault.

I'm sure their life is a living hell, if was me it sure would be.

I just don't like the more "holy than thou" attitude some people take, when they are probably just as guilty in taking a few risks and being complacent when it comes to their kids.

And I absolutely have no time whatsover, for the conspiracy trolls, who try to make out the McCanns have tried to cover up her death.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I would imagine most Mother's with a recently missing child, looking good would be the furthest thought from there mind, but hey that's just my opinion.

I never once said they did it, but you are right no one is perfect.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

That's not an opinion, that's an assumption.

One you can't make unless you've spoken to "most" mothers with a recently missing child.

It's been 7 years, how long must she look scruffy to satisfy you?

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I'm sure they do ,i'm sure that not a day goes by that they wish they had done a thousands things differently and blame themselves 100% but why the hell should they admit any of that to you or any other internet judge

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Then they should stop doing interviews then and refusing to accept blame when asked about leaving their children alone.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Doing interviews is what has kept this story alive and kept the high profile, so much so that the police are still out there looking for her.

Well, of course they are to blame, nobody else is.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I rather think that the interviews they do are largely responsible for keeping the case active

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

The looking good part was the day after her child went missing, not 7 years later.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

That piece did not stipulate a time frame against that reason.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I know who I'd rather lay the blame with, the person that took her.

re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Could I remind posters that someone has already been found guilty of Contempt of Court for publishing allegations that linked the McCanns with their daughter's disappearance.

Repeating these allegations on a Forum is 'publishing'.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Of course it was the person that took her, he took her away from her family at the end of day.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Because a man was seen near the apartment carrying a child, sorry for writing man it could have been a woman. The person who took her is to blame.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Oh of course, the fact she was taken seems to be forgotten by some people in their haste to vilify her parents for their negligence or worse.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

'That' man could have been a woman in disguise ?. We have to look at various things. That 'man' has been discounted by police.

However, a 'person' was seen carrying a child near to the spot where she went missing.

What l find hard to believe and this is what l hate about some holiday island, and that includes this country.

As a holidaymaker, if l 'see' something that is not right. My 'parent' instinct comes into play. And l would interfere if needed.

I remember going on holiday three years ago, and a woman walked past me and clouted a man round the face. I went and tried to help the poor guy. thinking l was doing a good deed. It turned out to be the husband.

But this is what is wrong, we see things But dont doing anything and then complain that it is ruining the holiday trade.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

My views have been posted in the thread I first started when Maddie first went missing, I can't post a link as for some reason my phones browser won't let me search.

You go around assuming that something is wrong and start interfering because in your eyes it's wrong O moral high ground you'll be walking around with a broken nose for the whole if every holiday season.
Where do you get off telling people how to behave because you "think" your in the right and the other party is wrong. You'll never have all the facts, you'll never see the whole story unfolding, you know nothing, that is unless your "God" and you see everything.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Its up to arthur if he buts his nose in a gets it punched... There seems to be a personal attack on arthur because he thinks differently from other people, he may be wrong he may be right. Who is to say who is right or wrong.

Just don't reply (take the bate so easily).

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Thanks richard s.

The biggest problem we have today, is that IF people see something happening anywhere they are, they dont interfere.

If l saw a person struggling with a child, adult and that person struggling starts shouting. No one in there own mind will just walk past and let them get on with it.

I have a duty to my wife and kids to do what l think is right. Yes, they might tell me to mind my own business, but at least l have tried to find out what is wrong.

I always remember what a family member said to me. They saw a drugs and sexual attack happening in front of them and just walked past. The following day, we found out that a girl had been raped.

I know that this comment is different to the main thread, BUT, if l saw something strange happening - l would interefere, then my conscience clear.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

I see what you're saying but when a child is like 2 years old, the child ain't going to be telling you something is wrong. You wouldn't have noticed anything wrong at the time so in this case it is a bit pointless.

On the other people don't interfere because they might look and idiot, get stabbed, get sued, the list is now quite extensive, so the safest best is to ignore your surroundings. - That said it's good to know not everyone is like that but it is a risk.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

In my opinion....her actions and emotions were not normal after Maddy went missing. You could assume it was for a few reasons including guilty of something terrible or perhaps she has a condition which affects emotions, such as aspergers, sociopath or something like that. Whether right or wrong, I have a gut feeling there is something not right with the parents.

Re: Madeline McCann - New search
 

She's always come across to me like he's her carer sort of thing. not all there if you like. he does all the talking. and she just looks pretty far into space.

but I'm sure that's not the case. she probably is quite normal really. just my observation.

Search for Madeleine
 

Hello everyone, please forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered I am new to the forum and posting for the first time!

I am unsettled by the lack of news coverage on the search for Madeleine McCann which is ongoing in Portugal and in particular the decision to search the drains and sewerage systems. Why was this not done 7 years ago? It seems to me to be one of the first places that should be checked in the case of a missing child! I have had several conflicting theories of my own over the years but I am at a loss to understand what is actually going on with the investigation at the moment, there is a lack of information forthcoming in my opinion.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27713826

Re: Search for Madeleine
 

There are a number of questions which should be answered here

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Absolutely!! She should be made to answer these questions! She should be shouting anything she knows for all the world to hear in an effort to find her daughter!

Re: Search for Madeleine
 

There's nothing to answer there, but insinuations of the kind which already led several newspapers to pay significant damages.

Armchair detectives. :rolleyes:

Re: Search for Madeleine
 

I couldn't even tell you if they have been answered or not to be honest. But the fact that some of those questions are listed, implying they haven't, does seem odd. One might even say that if they haven't, it's not only concerning, but strange, if they can directly aid the answering of what happened.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Those are the questions asked by the Portugese Police that Kate McCann refused to answer.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Would that be the same Portuguese police that have signally failed to make any progress in this case whatsoever, and are now scurrying round the countryside under the direction of proper coppers from the UK? :scratch:

I think the only time that really discuss this is - if when and when something is actually found.

I feel really frustrated at the fact that although tourism is excellent for any country. The most important thing is to find out what actually happened.

Don't forget, that at the time of her disappearance, there was a Paedo found murdered, just after.

There were also known phaedos in the area, PLUS several 'attempted' attacks and burgalries in the area. This is FACT

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...ibel-case.html

Obviously some will now claim the courts in Portugal are also part of the cover up.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I suppose that's one way to stop people from 'saying the wrong thing' just sue them to death.

I'll simply say,the poor kid would never have *gone missing/killed/abducted* if the MCCanns had been responsible parents and stayed with their children.

I wouldn't have thought I could have been sued for writing that as it is the truth.

I don't suppose anyone knows what happens to all this loot that they get from various sue sprees, does it go to Charity or a good cause? that would go down a lot better than if it wasn't.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Seems to me that the McCanns are making plenty of money out of this. As for what happened to Madeleine I will keep my own council.;)

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

It is curious just how much time, money and effort is being directed at this sad case. I can't imagine 99.9% of other victims of child abduction are handled and resourced in the same manner and I have to ask why not?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Without a new lead a line should be drawn.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

It used to be common practice at holiday camps in the UK (eg Pontins) to have their staff listening out for crying children in the chalets, who would then contact parents who were at last getting a bit of relaxation.

It is all very well to criticise parents who do this sort of thing, but it has been pretty common practice over the years.

This 'holier than thou' attitude really isn't very helpful. We should all be concentrating on finding out the evil person who abducted this child and stop demonising the McCanns.

---------- Post added at 17:28 ---------- Previous post was at 17:24 ----------

H'mm. Maybe it would be better if the police re-directed their resources away from motorists and historic abuse cases into those areas that the public consider more important (eg burglaries)!

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

If you believe that is the scenario.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Belief of anything else belongs in the same category as 9/11 truthers, moon landing hoaxes and Obama birth certificate conspiracists.

All the available evidence says Madeleine McCann was abducted by person(s) unknown. Damages claims have ensued against those who have indulged their inner armchair detective with baseless speculation.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Well "abducted by person(s) unknown" is also "baseless speculation". It's all a matter of "well that is what must have happened" with no actual proof. Entering a room that happens to have 3 children in it, with the very high risk of somebody else coming along to one of the other rooms in the building(possibly from the FREE child-checking service that the resort had), which was also subject to frequent visits to somebody from the Tapas group. How likely is that?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

QED. :tu:

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Not sure if I detect a whiff of sarcasm but if not, I think speeding, aggressive, dangerous, drunk drivers are very worthy of police attention. Frankly I'd like to see more traffic police. Having been burgled and knowing it's not a pleasant experience, I'd still rather be burgled than mown down by a maniac behind the wheel of a car.

I do agree that there are more important things the police could be spending millions on now, however.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

IIRC there was report that she had wandered off from the room on a previous night. If she had done that again, then it could still be accident or abduction, although abduction would still be risky.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

If I'd known my young child had wandered off on a previous occasion, it would certainly have focussed my mind on not letting him/her out of my sight.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Given that you don't seem to understand the role evidence plays in enquiries of this kind, there is little point in engaging in a game of "how likely". I'm afraid there is a little more to it than positing scenarios and then arguing over how plausible they are.

There is an active investigation, led by the Met, which is currently pursuing - on the basis of a thorough review of all the evidence gathered over the last 8 years - the possibility that there was a sexual motive to Madeleine's disappearance. A number of suspects and witnesses have been interviewed in the past 12 months.

The sad fact is, the Portuguese police were culturally unable to understand the McCanns' behaviour both before and after their daughter disappeared, bungled their crime scene investigation and then filled the evidence vacuum with a baseless scenario in which the parents (either accidentally or deliberately) killed their daughter, then did such an expert job of covering it up, that the police could find no evidence of any crime, except of course the fact that a girl was missing. And the McCanns were said to have accomplished all this without prior planning, without any resources beyond the contents of their suitcases and their holiday money, and being away from home in a foreign country.

The idea is absurd beyond parody, but the shocking incompetence of the Portuguese police, and a willingness on the part of certain gullible sections of the British public to believe everything's a cover up (especially if the internet says so) have seen to it that, eight years later, we are still discussing it.

Be absolutely assured, however, that the Metropolitan Police are not pursuing a line of enquiry called "the parents did it".

Anyone interested in how a cold case is actually handled in real life, as opposed to on the telly, might do worse than to read this useful summary here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...the-truth.html

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I'm sure that the thousands of motorists who have been 'done' for speeding do not consider themselves 'maniacs'.

My wife got caught out doing 33 mph in a 30 mile an hour zone. Does that constitute the driving of a 'maniac'?. It's dangerous driving rather than speeding we should be concentrating on.

The police have got their priorities out of synch with public opinion and this needs to be rectified.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

There is ZERO evidence for any particular possible scenario, so theoretically ALL options should be open. One avenue has been closed off because of sentiment and not fact.

It is difficult to sort out some of the press claims from what actually happened. Eg IIRC there were reports of "they've taken her" being said on the discovery of her being missing. If true, who was the "they" that was being referred to?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Look, I know you're not going to be convinced by reason. You believe what you believe. Frankly I can live with that. Do however be aware that the British courts place limits on your freedom to express beliefs that damage another's reputation. Insinuating that the McCanns were responsible in some way for their daughter's disappearance, quite apart from being mule-headed, is libellous and has already cost several newspapers a lot of money.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Curious the zeal with which they persue others who do not dance to their tune.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Putting aside my beliefs on the subject, surely it is high time they forget about this? The chances of her being alive now are slim to none. Why keep throwing taxpayers money after this investigation when there is no way she will ever be returned to Britain.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I would too. If that had happened to my child and I was then subjected to the abuse and allegations they have had, I'd be outraged and out for blood.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I'm sure they don't and it's perfectly obvious that some will be far more serious offenders than others. Part of the problem we have on our roads is people who believe they're good drivers and clearly aren't - check out any number of the police documentaries on our screens and you will see them in abundance denying they've done stuff which is clear for all to see on video. Had your wife been doing 60 in a 30 her treatment would have been far more severe than it was so the scale of punishments takes the severity of the offence into account doesn't it. I'd imagine since you feel so badly about it neither of you will do it again so job done I'd say, whether there was intent or it was accidental. Incidentally if her actual measured speed was 33 her speedo would have been showing more than that - 35/36 I'd imagine so how is it that she didn't notice that and/or the limit applicable to the road she was on and/or the camera/police car that trapped her for that matter. I bet she will be more careful now and that's what the fines are for and that's why serial offenders, as opposed to people like your wife quite probably, are treated more harshly - they didn't learn the lesson first time around.

Of course being caught doing 33 in a 30 doesn't necessarily make someone a maniac but it doesn't preclude the possibility either because that person may regularly commit more serious offences and not have been caught. I'd have thought that was obvious but there are maniacs on our roads and it is them I am referring to. Speeding is a major factor in dangerous driving as figures for the seriousness of injuries to pedestrians show - far more chance of being killed/maimed at 20mph than 30mph for example. Driving to the limit regardless of the conditions is also stupid yet you'll regularly see drivers doing 70 (and more) on busy motorways in the pouring rain, mist, dark, fog or whatever. I'm sorry but these people are idiots and deluding themselves that they're safe because they're not or are only just over the speed limit is pathetic. If someone killed your wife, God forbid, whilst doing a 30 in a 20 or 35 in a 30 I don't suppose you'd be too happy for the police to tell you they're too busy to prosecute because they're dealing with other things.
What would you say to the parents of a young child you were responsible for killing whilst driving above the speed limit, irrespective of the reasons for doing so? Nobody's saying that speed is the only factor or that obeying the limits guarantees safe driving - it doesn't. But we have to have limits and unless they're enforced people will do what they like on our roads.

Anyway there's a thread or two on speeding here where this has all been discussed before so I suggest you read it and post there if you wish to carry this on.

Sorry for the belated reply, but I did miss this post post until just now..

While the McCanns have been quite ruthless in taking legal action, if someone accused you of either murdering your own daughter or assisting in her abduction, would you roll over and accept it, or take legal action?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

You could argue their negligence assisted her abduction, not that they need to be reminded of that, they must beat themselves up everyday over it and I'm surprised they've kept any semblance of sanity without rehashing things in court every time someone says something they don't like about their daughters disappearance

But,
Didn't a child reappear recently after disappearing for twenty years.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I can't believe that a post I started 9 years ago is sadly still going.

But there are several things that have happened to her.

1. Can't mention due to laws of the land.

2. She was stolen to order by some uber wealthy person who wanted a white girl as a new daughter.

3. She was taken to be used by men, for reason too sickening to be even thought about let alone written down.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Hom3r Points two and three, l totally agree with both.
When it came out, concerning Men. There were reports that there were some Pheadphiles in the area. The same day she disappeared. And that a well known British Phedo had been murdered. And that a man was spotted carrying a child. Away from the villa.

And, it was suggested that she was kidnapped by order.

Nothing surprised me about this disappearance. In fact, it would not surprise me that in a couple of years. She turns up somewhere. Over the years, there have been reports of missing children, turning up suddenly.

On the biggest issue. Did the Parents kill there own child - Definate NO. The British police would not go through all this trouble, if they did. That would be the first thing they would have checked.
