But you're not, so you're just speculating and giving your own opinion aren't you. But everyone is entitled to an opinion, and if someone told me to go to hell for my opinion on the subject, then that's their perogative.

But there have been some opinions here (and I can't remember if yours are in this group, so please don't take this personally) that deserve a smack in the face



This family has lost a child; they are going through hell. Just thinking about what they must be feeling makes me want to cry; and thats before I even get to thinking about what the child is probably going through (if she's alive).
Sniping at the parents is cruel, heartless and sick imo.

I would tell them that you make your own hell tell me what its like

I have spoken my mind how I feel and have backed it up with reason and ive made my motives clear and thats to try and stop it happening again

lol, I'm sure it would

But that obviously doesn't detract from their desperate need to get her back.........and obviously just adds to their guilt.
Everyone makes mistakes with their kids, I have.......but rubbing their noses in any mistakes that they may have made is heartless (and I'm not saying that you have/are)

No probs, I haven't said anything bad that's 'out of order' or anything that's unwarranted to the point of being wrong.

Sometimes people need to see things from a different perspective to make sense of things. It's easy to follow the grain and find yourself biased. But when it's a subject that's not straight forward there will always be a dividance.

The trouble starts when you get people that tend to be based on common sense, non biased, etc, goes against the grain, then get accused of being heartless and sick, or get told why say that, not the time etc. Well that's not for anyone to say, everyone has an opinion and each is valid regardless. I've been told I'm heartless but only because it goes against their beliefs, to me that's as stupid as anything I've ever heard.

So what if people speak/think out loud, if it's not the right time, well when is? So what if people say the things no one wants to hear, should people ignore them? No.

Please point out the posts where they do deserve a 'smack in the mouth' because I've not seen any here yet that warrants that, just their own honest opinions. If any have said she deserved it etc, it would have been pulled aside or deleted etc, no one here have been or said anything like that.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, socket.

I for one do hope she's safe and returns, maybe I should say returns then her parents arrested for neglect.

What would be the point of punishing the McCanns? Sure they did wrong, they are only too well aware of the fact! I can think of no sentence they could serve, that could possible be worse than the one they must surely suffer everyday, and for the rest of their lives. The knowledge that their child is gone because they allowed the opportunity for her to be taken, must be unbearable.

And this thread is about the Maddie girl, I do so believe.

It's also worth noting that although the police seem to believe Maddie has been abducted, it's also possible she has gone missing.

Not saying she has. The police have seen actual evidence, and they appear to think she has been abducted, so that's good enough for me.

Say someone drives to work after a night out when they are still over the legal limit and causes an accident which results in the loss of life. Are you saying because that person has to live with it for the rest of their life that they shouldn't be punished?

maddie is their child.

would the point not be to prove to others that YOU DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN ALONE ?? that point ive tried to drum accross for the whole of this thread but the bleeding hearts just want to show sympathy and understanding well I do not understand

So if the driver kills a member of his family he shouldn't be punished?

Depends if it was deliberate or not.

I remember hearing about a man who was trimming his hedge in the back garden. Unkown to him, one of his sons was hiding in the hedge planning on jumping out and suprising his dad. You can imagine what happened.
Distraught he picked up his injured son, ran round the house to the car, and as he reversed off the drive, hit his other son who had just come home from playing with friends.
Should he have been punished for killing his sons?


Did Maddie's parents leave her and her siblings alone in order for them to be abducted, or did the thought of such a crime occuring not cross their minds?

Sounds a bit far fetched to me, any links?

I would say the first one was an accident who expects someone to be hiding in a hedge?

If the second was caused by dangerous driving then yes he should face charges.

If I left a child and went to the pub and the house burned down would you all be so understanding then??
