Well, who can stop them? I wouldn't be able to stop members of my family talking, especially if they were reading rubbish about me in the newspapers.

It's not like family members are a professional organisation, with guidelines and codes of conduct to adhere to either, the two different groups are hardly comparable imo

I am pretty sure it's controlled. I do not think they just randomly make statements as they walk about their lifes. The statements are clearly thought out and happen everytime there has been a development. It's too professional and ordered.

I think your probably right, the lawyers surely give them a quick going over as well, as I said a couple of posts back though, they are private individuals, with no rules to follow

Madeleine's parents consider new fund for legal battle
Quote:

The parents of Madeleine McCann may set up a separate fighting fund to pay mounting legal costs as they seek to defend themselves against accusations they were involved in her death.

Kate and Gerry McCann have appointed top lawyers in Portugal and Britain after being named as formal suspects in their daughter’s disappearance.

...

The family source said: “I don’t know [what they are going to do]; that is one of the routes they can go down. Money is going to be a big problem I think. PR firms and law firms are not cheap and it is clear the fund will not be for legal advice but that is the least of their worries now."
PR firms...? Why on earth do they need a PR firm? Do they expect to be on Parkinson and in Hello magazine a lot?

It's just public relations isn't it, and their current relationship with the public isn't that healthy :erm: i suppose they're trying to minimise the publics wolf-like reactions by having proper advice on what to say or not to say, seeing as everything can get twisted to mean anything we want it to!

They are Doctors, they have certain standards, normal laywers aren't good enough, so fleece the public to pay for the best in the land. Still, people will be gullible enough to give to the greedy.

Maybe desperate measures, but probably I reckon it will soon backfire on them.

I don't think the Portuguese police are expecting to find a confession... however it will point to the parents' frame of mind. There are reports that the neighbours complained about the amount of noise from the screaming kids who couldn't sleep and were left home alone. I guess this is the sort of thing that the mother could have included in her diary entries... and possibly that she gave the children a little medication to help them sleep from time to time.

That information could prove useful to know.

ps - what's the deal with your double posts? I've seen it a couple of times.

Also from that article

British forensic experts expressed severe doubts about the claim. They said the fluid was only a partial match to Madeleine's DNA and the sample was not strong enough to determine the presence of drugs

Looks like another non story then

Doesn't surprise me tbh, imo it's all getting rather tiresome, totally bored with all the innuendo, finger pointing, speculation, media tittle tattle, family/friends side of it and conspiracy theories, seems anyone with a bit of an imagination can get an article published on this and considering it's about a little girls abduction/death that is very cheap and distasteful

This photo strikes me as odd, they look to be far too happy?
