I think people should just stop with all the blaming and just concentrate on finding her.

The BBC are now saying that they have identified a suspect, lets hope it all ends in tears of happiness and not sorrow.

Im sorry but I do not know where to look

Portugal hopefully they havnt taken her to north africa.

Ok, I could have worded that a bit better.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I just cannot understand how any responsible parent could leave youngsters like this alone. Children are NOT a fashion accessory, they should be nurtured and cared for properly.

We never abandoned our daughter when she was little.

I just hope that whoever abducted the poor child will love her and care for her better than her "parents" did.

When will parents learn their responsiblities?? How many more abductions does it take?

Are you for real :rolleyes:

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

The arguments about whose to blame will stop right now. I have never read such a pathetic and such judgemental thread before in all my life. :afire:

Preying that the girl is safe and returns to the family should come first. Forget blame, it's not going to bring back the girl.

Yes we should all have eyes in the back of head when it comes to having kids and we shouldn't leave them for more than a few minutes, but at the same time, it does not justify the fact that because some young kids might be on their own that some bloody sick and twisted individual then has every right to abduct a child.

There is a group of young kids playing at the bottom of our road right now, no adult with them, does that mean because no adult is about, some idiot can rightfully decide to just take one of them, as they won't get blamed for it, the parents or guardian will?

I'm sure the parents now know they should of been there, they would of been doing a lot of 'If I'd done this' - 'If I had of done that'. It's too late for *if's* the girl has vanished, she needs to be found now and lets hope she is but hey, some here want to kick the parents when they are already down in despair. Show some bloody compassion for crying out loud... :rolleyes:

Quote from the BBC News website:

The Ocean Club resort offered a creche service but the couple decided to leave Madeleine and two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie sleeping in the apartment.

My heart goes out to everyone affected and the blame should go squarely on the shoulders of whoever abducted her and I hope they rot in hell but there is no excuse to leave the children alone.

Why didn't they take advantage of the creche service, did they want to save money so they could spend it on their meal?

You do not leave children of that age alone in another building even for 10 minutes let alone an hour (as the news suggests) end of story.

I just sincerely hope there is a happy ending to this and if there is, the parents should be charged with neglect.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

if they are 3 and under then they should be supervised and not playing in the street im sorry Mick you think this thread is wrong because people apportion blame but come on really a reasonable person just wouldn't would they? yeah whoever it was did is to blame but its not gotta be an abduction to be a tragedy what if there was a fire? what if the child falls or just gets scared cuz he/she wakes up alone its just wrong

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

It's too late to go back over what should of happened, they don't need any of you lot to tell them what they should of been doing. They know this and have unfortunately now payed a price - hence why I have said, starting to point fingers *already*, isn't going to bring the girl back.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

They are gonna be to busy to be reading this forum. Some people think its ok to do this with there children this thread could save another childs life who know some one reading this may never leave there kids in similar circumstances.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

I never left my kids alone until they were 13. Pathetic parents. They should be jailed.

Nope, you cannot swipe under the carpet, the price is jail. I do not know the Portuguese law, but I will be surprised that a civilized nation wouldn't putthose two idiots into jail ...of course our thoughts are with the kid but those two morons should be jailed...

Well I'm so glad you are not in control of the justice system with coming out with such a ridiculous and moronic suggestion.
