Exactly what i think.shineydave said:tragic accident closely followed by stupidity of monumental proportions
coupe-se said:Seemed an odd case from the beginning and the consequent circus that ensued at the biding of the Mc Canns hasn't quite added up to a lot of people.
A coupe of doctors with access to drugs wanted a night out alone without their kids. Give the kids some sleeping pills to ensure an uninterrupted evening and a tragic accident ensues as result of an overdose or unexpected reaction to the said drugs.
A child has undoubtedly lost its life as a result of its parents neglect due to them not being properly supervised at the very least. Any other (lower class) family would have been lambasted and lynched under the same circumstances.
But arent they saying they hired the car 25 days after she went missing?AndyMac said:Sounds like they're trying to cover their ***** to me. Blood in the hire car? That could have been an innocent little cut or nosebleed.
Not too sure on the law in Portugal but can they be tried without a body?
AndyMac said:I totally agree, but to be fair they were only 30 feet away, if they'd been at the bottom of their garden having a BBQ would anyone be saying it was irresponsible?
It's not like they went into town clubbing.
AndyMac said:But by that rationale, parents would have to take it in shifts to oversee the sleep of their children even in their own homes.
Whatever the situation, if something happens to your child someone will always point the finger at irresponsible parenting, but unfortunately for this not to be the case is impossible. We could have always been more vigilant after the fact.
If it was an abduction then it could have happened at 3am with the McCanns sleeping in the room next door. Or during the day on the beach. Would this have been irresponsible?
At the very least this has been a wake up call for parents everywhere, but what we're supposed to do about it god only knows. I certainly don't plan to bring my boys up wrapped in cotton wool. We can only hope no one targets our own kids, because if they do there's very little we could do to stop another tragedy.

Well if they did kill her, the blood may be in the car from moving the body 25 days (or more) after the event.james0808 said:But arent they saying they hired the car 25 days after she went missing?
How did the blood get there?
thebluebus said:I've changed my mind - I do have an opinion of the McCanns.
I think there is a slight whiff of Heather Mills about Kate McCann.
I don't know why I think that.

Not what you'd expect when your little girl had gone missing...

ChriS3 said:I'm glad its not just me! I made comments about their odd behavior not long after she went 'missing', but everyone said I was cynical and callous.
ChriS3 said:Renault have just brought out a new people carrier. It's so spacious, so luxurious, so comfortable you don't even notice the kids are in the back.
It's called The Renault McCann
