The reason I am still saying it is because there are still people here saying "the McCanns did nothing wrong-leave them alone in their grief!". They did do something wrong-and actually, there might be something gained by LE at least, by looking at the possibilities that extend from the opportunity the McCanns provided. The people seen watching the McCanns villa could have been staff, responding to complaints that other guests made about the children crying incessantly for maybe more than one night. I can imagine the lady upstairs calling the mgmt complaining about crying, and some staff member standing right outside for an extended time, just listening to see if the children might be crying...it's relevant to me for such a reason.
I for one am not in the market for punishing anyone. But iMHO there is alot of discrepancies in this case that just haven't been explained. I believe and always will until its proved otherwise that the parents are involved.

The McCanns did something wrong, in your opinion. Legally, they did not.
Really-read a little more...it's not just my opinion, most people here (and all of the good parents) think they did something wrong. And did I say they did something leally wrong? No. They just did something that, assuming they did not kill their own child, allowed some stranger to come in and take her, and probably kill her. You may leave your child alone, or condone the practice, but don't imply to me that it's just an alternate parenting option.

for me its there by the grace of god type thing
I very rarely ever criticise other parents and make comments on Parenting skills - I hear it so much in the play ground
I just done see where this gets us in debating the case - YES most people will agree that their choice of child care was wrong - but it is a world away from extrapolating this to they then must be involved or they are " bad " parents
There has be no evidence in the public domain of any problem with them as parents before this happened. The kids were not on a register , they were it seems normal kids from a normal family - 2 middle class doctors
again if they are involved then the backlash will be huge
but I refuse to vilify them until this has been revealed in court - regardless of the checking system or not - my natural reaction is anger to the perp not to them
sometime I get the impression that people are more interested in "punishing" the mcanns as opposed to finding out what actually happened
If it is ever proved beyond reasonable doubt that they were responsible for her death or disposal then they will go down as the biggest most evil pair since Brady and Hindley
BUT until that day comes I am more interested in the SY . the PJ using their energies to find out the truth and who is responsible .
I am not really interested in a constant narrative about the babysitting / checking . Both authorities have said that what they did was not advisable but within the law . I know this view is not popular here and people would like the Mcanns to be for ever dammed for it.
Again, only in your opinion. The Law does not agree with you.
It IS just another parenting option that is still in practice today in holiday resorts throughout The World.
Your opinion of their behaviour is only your opinion.
Personally, I am only concerned with your thoughts on the death of a child when you have absolutely no proof that Madeleine is dead.

"German broadcaster ZDF has received 500 phone calls and emails after airing a programme on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Madeleine's parents launched an appeal for information to help them find their daughter on the television show "Aktenzeichen XY ungeloest," Germany's version of BBC's Crimewatch programme.
Some 7.26 million people watched the show, its highest rating in 15 years"
High profile cases always generate hundreds of useless calls. ...
I'll agree it was a rating success... I would hope that wasn't the goal.

If they get 499 useless calls, and one genuinely good one, it was worth it-hopefully they get something good

I can't remember where I read that the McCanns thought there would be a "listening service" at this resort, but when they learned there wasn't one, their system of checking in on their children was basically their own " listening service", meaning they went to the room and stood at the door and listened, and if no sounds assumed the children were ok. Do I have this right? If so, could Madeleine not have gone missing earlier?
