Could not agree with you more, let's pray they are found safe and well...

Watching this article on Sky, is really good to think that something is finally being done.

The only thing that has started this thread is the stinking attitude of the holiday maker. Who has said that the island is very pleased to see holidaymakers and that they are very friendly - buts it is sad that this dig, has come at a bad time for the tourist season.

What if it was his own child ?

The part that has to be looked at here, is that at the time of her disappearance - the island had sex assaults and burglaries at the time.

I think that IF, they do find her body,then, it will be who killed her.

At the risk of infractions, I have long had my view of who killed her. I am not the only one who thinks that. What upsets me is that nobody has investigated the parents (or if they were investigated it was kept quiet) for negligence and bad parenting. If they can leave children alone on holiday in a foreign country, they can do it in this country.

I would hope that he would not leave the child alone and vulnerable either at home or in a foreign country.

The McCann's seem to still refuse any fault of their actions IMO. I wonder if I ever left my children here or abroad if I would have been allowed to keep my other children after showing negligence as I see no other word that could possibly describe their actions in leaving three children under the age of 3 alone while they dined out.

Now that summer is here, I leave my 3year old in bed from 19:00 onwards, whilst his mum and I see sit out on our decking which is located at the far end of our property approx 45m from our house.

So if a monster was to break into the house and steal our child, would we be classed a negligent?

Or should one of us stay in the house at all times our little one is asleep?

Would you leave your property and go out for meal whilst your child is in bed?

No, because even sitting out in the garden you are still on the premises and would assume you would hear someone breaking into your property. They weren't in the apartment, or near enough to the apartment to see whoever it was that took Maddie (ignoring my suspicions anyway) from the apartment. That is negligent behavior from the parents and also the friends who did not speak up (again, if they did it was never reported) about leaving 3 young children alone whilst they went out drinking.

Last week we had a barbecue, again, approx 45m from our house at the far and of our property and left our child in his bed.

So we did.

You can see your house from the decking yes I take it.

I said leave your property. Would you also do this in a foreign country and not in opinion of your safe surroundings of your home.

We had loud music on

They weren't in the apartment, or near enough to the apartment to see whoever it was that took Maddie (ignoring my suspicions anyway) from the apartment.

They where in the tapas bar across the way, within the complex. Probably closer to the apartment than my decking/BBQ area is to my house

That is negligent behavior from the parents and also the friends who did not speak up (again, if they did it was never reported) about leaving 3 young children alone whilst they went out drinking.

My BBQ had my child and two cousins staying, we are partied down the far end of the property, we went and checked on the kids peridoically

Just as the McCanns did.

Only 1 side of it, I can't see all around the house.

Perhaps you should carry a baby alarm with you?
