Yes but there is no need for you to keep pointing that out all the time, what is and will be obvious to the parents now - FYI - I haven't said I don't blame the parents - but there is a time and place to do the blaming, now isn't one of them. Compassion should come first, blame later.


Actually - that wasn't aimed at you if you read the post again - you didn't mention the parents should be sent to jail - someone else did, and it was aimed at them because it was such a obnoxious and quite ridiculous suggestion in the first instance.

I posted the law information

And? You are still not reading the post right zing...

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Ok im sorry . You said I shouldnt have to keep pointing it out but why? they are not gonna be reading it its just a point that I feell needs to be got across to everybody. How many other poeple leave their kids in situations like this? there is a chance that someone who does may well read this dont you think? what if by standing up and saying its wrong instead of pushing it behind the fact a child is missing which does not change the fact its wrong, that person could change their ways a childs life could be save we wont know that of course because the parent wouldnt leave the child alone anymore.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Because we know, you know - everybody now knows, that's why - it doesn't need spelling out whose to blame, I note in the news coverage there is people giving well wishes to the parents, yet there are some on here doing the opposite and its wrong.

Compassion now - blame later.

I have to say I agree with Zingle, but am going to wade into this debate in the shallow end.

I feel most for the poor girl, who where ever she is, lost, hurt or abducted must be terrified, lonely, upset and hungry. When she gets found I hope she is OK and safe and not been hurt in anyway.
I can only imagine what this girl must be going through and the sheer terror she must be feeling. When she is found it is most certain she will carry this with her for the rest of her life. Poor kid.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Got to agree - we can't alter the facts but hopefully everyone who reads this thread will think again before considering doing anything similar.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday

Ill finish with

Please anyone who has ever left there children like this please learn a lesson and do not do it again its for the best
and
My thoughts and prayers are for the safe return of the child

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

I never said that the parents should be sent to jail either but to be honest I think they should, they left children under the age of 3 on their own Full Stop!!!

Obviously first things first, Find the Child, Sort what happened then sort the parents out IMHO...

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

and how then would the kids have faired in the case of a fire

childen should never be left alone like that

quite right gtting the girl back is the most inportant thing

but stopping others doing the same is even more important it is obvious from some posts that they see nothing wrong in leaving the kids in this way

it is not if zingles pst mak just ne person think twice about doing the same it will help far more than just feeling sorry for this family

if they had had dinner in thier room or taken them to dinner it would have been an awfull lot harder for some one to take her

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

"if" being the operative word. harder/easier the end result is the same. the only blame is at the alleged abductor/s no "buts" and "ifs", end of.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

I appologise for some of my outbursts last night, if i offended anybody i am sorry, all of us with kids will find this a very imotive subject and post things we may regret later.
Again
Sorry

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

I couldn't have said it better.

I will say though that I don't think the parents should go to jail as that is just making it more difficult for their children but they should be given a hefty fine or something similar. In fact if it all ends happily they should appear on the TV and make a statement to all parents saying 'Don't do what we did'. Even turn it into an advert to make other parents think.

Obviously, they are suffering enough as it is at them moment and they do have my sympathies but when this is all over it shouldn't just be swept under the carpet.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Try reading your own post.
Where are 3 year olds mentioned ? - If you weren't watching them then you must have left them alone, make your mind up. :dozey:

Yes, of course, that would be best for everyone wouldn't it. :rolleyes: While your at it why don't you jail the parents of Holly & Jessica, after all they let them wander the streets aged 10/11, and of course, we must immediately jail Sarah Paynes mother for leaving her young kids to play in a corn field. :erm:

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

A campaign would be a good idea perhaps.



The difference being of course, while kids growing up are prone to go out and play, it's not feasible to watch them wherever they are. Can you imagine parents following their kids out at play?!
Any parent with the opportunity to be able to know their three 3 year old kids are safe and well and not alone would do so.
At least, you'd like to think.
Kids are obviously not safe from predators, but where feasibly possible - i.e. not being left alone at night in a hotel - any parent I know would crawl over broken glass to make sure their kids were safe if it was possible.

I must say I refuse to accept anyone's idea that most people here are trying to detract from this horrific event by trying to apportion blame and not considering Madeleine.
This is people dealing and venting.
I guarantee there is not ONE person among the thousands here that thinks blaming people is the solution. It's human nature to say "if". No-one means any harm by it for goodness sake.
We all want the same outcome. What must we do, not discuss it at all?
