just to add, i do not think the parents of maddy are to blame directly. and it looks like in the interveiws that they handle it lightly....but not forgetting that these people time after time tell patients that is there dimise on the lines, not to mention talking to the relitives..there trained for it....cut them some slack ffs.

with my family.......
I totally agree with you deedee .

As it could happen anywhere , in your own home , in your front garden ,if a parasist wants your child , it want doesnt matter where they are it will come and take them . Which is pretty terrifing really ..

Which brings me to the point of no matter where you are , dont leave your child alone , as they are safer where with you . As most of you have pointed out if you are on holidays with your family , you keep them with you at all times .

And now ive got all upset with myself so im going to cuddle my evie and shower her with kisses ..:cry:

No dont think they had anything to do with it. But i think they should never have left them alone. In my heart of hearts i think she is probably dead bless her after all the news coverage and posters if she was taken to sell to a childless couple then it would now be to dangerous to do so. I hope im wrong and they find her very soon fingers crossed.

There are now all sorts of conspiracy theories linked with this.

One example is here: -

Mirror.co.uk :: View topic - The "Hoax" Theory....Madeleine McCann

Look at the upper tier forums for more. I would suggest that reading these will be life changing for some and should not be viewed lightly. In fact, I wouldn't read the above link if at all sensitive.

I would say that if "some" of the claims in the portuguese press are correct, the future will not be too bright for the McCanns.

I didn't realise that a whole e-commerce business had sprung from this, i.e payment to the McCanns to download and print the posters from the official site etc.........

I really hope there is a happy ending to this, but cannot see it happening.


the macanns make money if you download the poster from their site? Are you serious? How?

Just been on the official website and no it doesnt cost anyrthing to download any of the posters on there, they have got a paypal link to which anyone can donate to their 'no stone unturned' fund this is text from the website
'Madeleine’s fund is a non charitable not-for-profit company, which has been established to help find Madeleine McCann and to support her family and bring her abductors to justice. Any surplus funds will be used to help families and missing children in the United Kingdom, Portugal and elsewhere in similar circumstances. If there are surplus funds Madeleine’s Funds can be converted into a charity.:D

Movin' on up.
Did the parents ever get in any strife re: leaving their kids home alone at such a young age?
Just wondered, like :confused:

No because he's a Doctor!

If they had been Chavvy types, they would have had the book thrown at them I think.
Under Portuguese law, they could have been done for neglect
Because they a Upper middle class, people have gone easy on them.

Anyway, there would be nothing to be gained by persecuting them anyway.
I'm sure they regret leaving the kids.

The thing that intrigues me is the way the press have reacted to this story. Its obviously a horrific incident, but is it me or does anyone else think - imagine if Madelines parents where a pair of chavs from Wythenshawe or somewhere (no offence just an example!) and not a GP and a consultant surgeon then, by now the British press would have absolutly ripped them to pieces for leaving her alone?....


Missing white woman syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

anyone remember Ben Needham?

its sad, hope they find her alive and well, although i think Maddy is dead:(

After reading many of the posts on that Daily Mirror forum I think I'm becoming convinced that Maddy is shcked up somewhere with accomplices of the McCanns. :eek:

Found this arcticle quite interesting.

The Evening Bulletin - McCanns Need To Come Clean - Now

It talks about the way the British media has dealt with the story and has a list of questions it would like to ask Kate McCann.

Here they are. Sorry they go on a bit but they raise some interesting points :spin:

1) Will you and your friends take lie detectors tests? While not guaranteed, they are a decent barometer for an investigation's direction. If there is nothing to hide, releasing the results would be a public relations boon, and the investigation could center around Madeleine for a change.

2) What time was it when you discovered Madeleine was missing? Was it 9 p.m., as Kate states, or 10 p.m.? And why the discrepancy? How long did it take for you to call the police? There are reports of a significant delay on your part. You stated that the shutters were forced open, but the police and hotel staff said there was no evidence of tampering. And Kate, why, upon discovering that Madeleine was missing, did you return to the restaurant, leaving the two-year old twins alone (again) while a predator could still have been lurking nearby? Since the restaurant was only "twenty yards" away, your screaming clearly would have been heard. Interestingly, Kate, you yelled, "They've taken her," but how did you know Madeleine was abducted? After all, the doors were unlocked. Madeleine was known to sleepwalk. Or perhaps this little girl just happened to awaken in a dark, unfamiliar place, becomes scared and, alone and understandably frightened, looked for the comfort of her parents. When she didn't see either of you in the apartment, could she have walked outside to find you? And, by the way, Kate, why did you say "they" took her?

3) Your resort was extremely child-friendly. Why not use the inexpensive babysitting services that were available? Some reports state that you did not want the children to be around unfamiliar people. Yet the same people who ran the day camp your children attended were also the babysitters. Also, how could "strangers" be any worse than leaving three young children (with a combined age of seven) alone in an unlocked apartment?

4) Exactly how far away was the restaurant? There are huge inconsistencies with your answers to this question. Was it 50 yards, 150 or just 20, as Kate stated in an interview last week? Could you in fact see the room from your table? How often did one of you walk back to check on the children before Madeleine went missing: Every hour, half-hour, or not at all? (The statements of the resort staff differ markedly from yours.) If, as you say, this arrangement was so secure, and you could see your apartment from your table, wouldn't you have been able to see any alleged abductor? Isn't it true that your view of the room was partially blocked by a wall and a hedge, and that the other door to the room and the windows were not visible at all? Is this the "secure arrangement" you actually compared to eating in your backyard garden?

5) During a BBC interview, Kate, you were adamant that the children would not awaken during the time you and your husband were dining. Yet since Madeleine had a history of sleepwalking, how could you be so sure of this? Were the children given any sleeping drugs or medications?

6) How often did you dine out (at child-friendly restaurants) while leaving the children alone? What were the distances of these restaurants from your room?

7) Did you ever hire private investigators after Madeleine's disappearance? If not, why?

8) What is the nature of the Limited Company you established after Maddy vanished? How much money has been raised and spent? For what were the spent monies used? Has any reward from the company been posted? Are any family members on the payroll? What are the limitations, if any, on how the money can be spent?

9) Why did you travel to the United States when not one lead ever suggested that Madeleine was taken there? How much money did you raise in America?

10) You stated in an earlier interview: "Looking at it from where we are now, I don't feel we were irresponsible, I feel we are very responsible parents." Do you still feel that way?

These questions are, at a minimum, a logical starting point to get to the bottom of Madeleine's disappearance.
However, there is one point that I simply cannot rectify:
Assume for a minute that if the police dog was accurate in its detection of death in the room, and the death was that of Madeleine - and we all pray that it is not - then why would the perpetrator take a dead child from the room?

It's becoming apparent that the "safe haven" that the adults involved in this is becoming unravelled.

In pictures, the 120 metre route to check on Madeleine | the Daily Mail

They couldn't even see the apartment and it wasn't part of the complex, from what you can see here. It's the equivalent of leaving your kids with a combined age of 7 whilst you went for a party a few streets away.

This is all looking too dodgy now.

In jest of what i've seen in the case of missing maddie, 100 days gone, and still to this day i have not seen her parents cry or greive................i did think seriously that thier profession had a upholding part of it........but in hindsight, after 100 days missing and no plea for return from the family in an emotional context?????????????????????? why o why?

I don't know where to begin, but something just isn't right about the whole thing. I really can't put my finger on it......and all of the new theories are making me even more suspicious. Its just crazy stuff....they just seem to be able to keep saying 'oh we have hope for our daughter' in the coldest and weirdest way I have ever heard. :S :S Baffles me.

Just out of interest - if you 'lose' a kid in a country say usa, australia, portugal - do you still need a visa stay? And if you start a 'charity' from that country - do you pay tax? :naughty:
