Madeleine McCann

[Osem]

There will probably be lots of 'sightings' and each one will raise hopes and need to be followed up. I just hope that police police time isn't going to be wasted because of claims published in the media to fill air time or boost sales.

Precisely and its very pathetic. Blaming the parents, whilst Maddie is still missing, is a highly insensitive thing to do at the moment but what do some people care eh Incog!?!? At least there is some of us who can display compassion when its necessary at this current time.

Not really pathethic, just a difference of opinion. I can find your opinion pathetic but I won't say it (if you know what I mean). I will blame the parents, I hope they will be held accountable no matter what the outcome is. (I do hope she's found ofc). They are responsible and they should tried like anyone else for the crime of neglect. That's a fact no one can or should ignore.

Edit (added).
Does it bother anyone that the parents still have 2 other children in their (lack of) care, is that all of a sudden ok to accept. This is a social class dividence with a hint of hysteria, a bit of Diana syndrome, tiny amount of personal guilt complex thrown in and you end up with a farce of a circus it all is now.

I choose to ignore it because it not the correct time to start pointing the finger, you can call my opinion pathetic all you like, at least I know how to show respect and compassion, unlike some in this thread.

I can accept your opinion Mick, but it's opposite to mine so I'm not in anyway fit to questions yours and so it would be meaningless anyway don't you think.

Btw I've added to my original post, I hope you didn't miss that either.

We will just have to agree to disagree. We don't know all the facts and we cannot rely on the media alone to start making judgements which some have been doing and are still doing.

No we don't know all the facts, but I don't think I'm any less worried about the poor girl than you either, to be told that I care less and I'm an inconsiderate person and that I don't have any compassion is blatantly judgemental to me which I could take offence with.

I don't have to ignore the facts that I have been told, they are responsible. I don't ignore the fact that she's still missing either.

When the news come on now, I tend to switch over because it's the same old no different news, ramming it down my throat, asking for donations etc etc, constant bambardment I consider a negative rather than a positive, but hey if it works for you then you are the target audience and it's had a positive aspect which is all well and good.

Being a grandparent of two children, and three children of my own, l feel very angry at people in this forum that are having a go at the parents of missing Maddie, we all make mistakes EVERYONE on this forum have made mistakes, BIG mistakes that they regret afterwards, we all know that they could have used the creche on the resort by Warners, but they chose not do, they kept a check on the kids every half an hour, there were reports that there was suspicoius charactors lurking about, the parents are going through hell, and don't you think that they could be saying ' why didn't we check' over and over again, there is some *******/s out there who knows where Maddie is, but the won't say, so instead of some forum members slagging the parents off, they should try and help the millions of people trying to find her, via the internet, - she has to be somewhere. - l am sorry if l have offended some members, but, as l have said we ALL makes mistakes, and l have made a few.

Probably the best post in this thread by far. We all make mistakes, we all cannot keep an eye on our kids as much as we like 24/7.

Now that's a mistake thats of extreme proportion don't you think. What did they say "Let leave them for our nice meal", "But what about the reports", "It's ok, nothing like that happen to us decent folk", "Ok, let's go".

Is that a good enough excuse - that 'we' all make mistakes? "Oh I left the light on, I gambled £20 on the horses, oh left the kids alone while I went out to entertain myself". Doesn't cut it for me I'm afraid.

None of your over judgemental, (without knowing all the facts) posts cuts it for me either.

That's fine I didn't epect you to agree, we already agreed that earlier. I answered in response to a post, it was my opinion, nothing more, I know it won't sit well and I know the people that are opposite will totally disagree.

It's besides the point. It's still my opinion.

Don`t you think that in this day and age, that people should`nt have to worry about their kids getting abducted or abused?
Let`s put this into some kind of perspective and lay full blame at the doors of the human rights do-gooders and the law courts for not laying down stiffer jail sentences for the peadophiles and the rest of the **** which blight our society.
If there was more deterrant, there would be less crime in general, not just child abduction. Lets get away from this drug, gun, rap culture, it`s not us is it.
