Bearing in mind the fact that the Mark Warner complexes make a virtue of their childcare facilities, why the hell weren't they being used? Moreover, it wouldn't occur to anyone to leave the kids alone (at 3 and 2) in this country, so why was it alright to do so in a foreign country?
Ignoring the fact that, in 90% of cases, a family member is involved in the disappearance, I don't particularly believe that the McCanns were implicitly involved. However, and as unfortunate as it may be, their actions contributed to what happened  |
The McCanns were wrong, I agree, and they will bitterly regret leaving their children alone until the day they die, I'm sure. I just don't think they derserve to be "strung up" for what they did as had been suggested, and I think some of the other criticisms of them are unfounded.
Kate McCann answered the criticisms as to why they thought it was safe to leave the children alone in her interview with
The Independent. We know how tragically wrong she was.
I also hope Social Services don't take any action against the couple. It would only make an awful situation even worse, assuming they
are innocent in her disappearance. If they did, they have to take action against the other parents too. Otherwise they'd be penalising the McCanns for being the unlucky (for want of a better word) ones.
