Overreaching
No, I did not say that. Please check again what I said. I have not said that they were in for group sex, nor have I ever said that they deliberately murdered their child.
In fact, I don't think anyone has said that they murdered their child. Accidental death is the theory over and over repeated by anyone on this forum who thinks the McCanns might be involved in the disappearance of their child.
What I said, and I stand by, is that whenever the McCanns are given a hard question about their own response, they respond with how "hurtful" that is.
I will readily admit that any parent with a missing child who was not involved would perhaps feel angry at the thought they might have hurt the child they loved. But "hurt?" The McCanns refuse to admit even the slightest bit of responsibility for their decision that night. They repeatedly talk about how "safe" it felt and call it "a mistake if you can call it that."
Gord, you and I have discussed before how if there are predators out there stalking and snatching children, then we must begin (of course, that was my opinion) saying loudly and repeatedly that no child should be left alone, even with the "baby listening" services. We also used to drive our children around holding them on our laps (well, Brittney Spears STILL does that) but we know better and have car seats now. Time for everyone, even people who think the McCanns are completely innocent, to say NO MORE will we consider that a good alternative for our children.
However, as a parent, I would not give a rat's patootie what anyone said about me if I knew I was innocent. Find my child, yes I thought she was safe, I made a mistake, don't do it yourselves now, but help me find my child. I don't care what you say about me if you find my child. What could anyone say or do to me that would be worse than knowing my child was out there somewhere in the hands of a predator, or worse yet, deceased?
"Hurtful" is not an appropriate response.
The McCanns opened themselves up to these speculations and accusations because of their decision that night, as they stated, to leave their three young children alone in a resort room. That they seem to feel that their own "feeling that is was so safe! it felt so safe!" attitude should somehow give them a pass from any kind of judgment about their parenting abilities is odd, given that doctors, of all people, are trained to rely on facts and not feelings.
Honestly I think the "hurtful" comment is a spin doctor come back, intended to make anyone who criticizes the McCanns or examines their actions and words, feel guilty or bad for "hurting them." But as I said, the person who was hurt, is Madeleine McCann.
