I have not been following this case b/c I just have been in a spot where I can' bear to think of a missing baby right now. I did read her story in Pople at the grocery store though and can not belive that this family left 3 kids alone so they could go out to eat. Someone at their vacation spot obviosly was watching and their neglegence gave them the prime opportunity. I am sure they were not intentionally negelegent, but naive about their children's saftey. Creeps and weirdos are everywhere, don't be fooled into thinking you are safe.
Hi Scandi - you didn't say, was there any mention of the fate of the little boy? Is he still missing?
I totally agree Ang50, I hate that I am judging them at all on this b/c I can not imagine anything worse than having a child kidnapped or killed. They don't deserve this at all.
I totally agree with everything you have said, I too have been told I am parent bashing, put blame where the blame is and it is the parents fault that this has been allowed to happen, they should be charged with child neglect.I thought I was "sleuthing" by pointing out that the parents are to blame and that THEY should be the ones charged. If they never left their kids alone she/they 99.99% would be fine right......negligence lies with the parents and not some unknown abductor.
OK, here's a senario.....what if poor Madeleine woke up scared, no one was there to comfort her...she opened the front door and left the villa and wandered around LOOKING for her parents who were no where to be found? No abductor at all. She wandered around lost in a foreign city and possibly fell into some water, a hole, into the hand of a villian...God only knows. Point being, once again, is that it always comes back to the root of the problem and that is the fact that they shouldn't have been left alone to begin with. I say finger print the main door knob and look for her prints, which I'm sure they have. My three year old can easily open and close the washroom doors in our house, her bedroom door etc etc......so could Madeleine I'm sure. So what if this "abductor" stuff is just a big smoke screen to defer attention away from the TRUE criminals....the stupid parents?
I know a lot of you come here and this tugs on your heart strings....you're addicted to this story...to the search....you put yourselves in the position of these parents and feel their dread...."what if it was YOUR child". However, I'm willing wager that 99.99% of you would never have left those kids alone to begin with. And if your in the 0.001% that thinks its OK to leave your kids alone while you galavant around you shouldn't be surprised if your poor children go missing one day as these predators prey on the ignorant parents like Medelines......the fools.....the victims!!!
I thought this forum was for web sleuthing to share news articles and ideas and anything to help solve a crime or in this case find a missing child. I find this thread aimed more at debate about the parents and what they should have done, or not done. Being new here is it not possible to divide the thread into two where those that want to discuss and debate the parents and their error and those that want to discuss and share articles about Madeleine? Please take no offense here to my post. Just looking for Madeleine news and ideas. Though the debate is interesting I don't find it helpful.

I do not think you can effectivly share ideas about Madeleine without discussion of the parents actions when she dissapeared. It is not about passing judgment or blame but about recognizing that their behavior that night was questionable and seeminly out of character and therefore until proven otherwise they do need to be considered as possibly suspects. This is not to say they are guilty only that there is reason to not exclude them as having involvment in Madeleines disappearance.
