Didn't I read tht the mother was planning to cut her work days back to like one day a week so that she was with the kids most of the time? I can't think of any reason that they would want to harm their daughter. Kids disappear all of the time inside their homes with the parents sleeping in the same house or ever in the bedroom right next to theirs. I think that the only crime these parents committed was leaving the children alone while they left to have dinner. It's really sad that they didn't hire a babysitter or bring a nanny with them but they didn't and it is something that they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. We really don't know enough about these parents and the way they lived their lives or raised their children to be able to judge them as harshly as some are judging them. That is really sad.
Hello Bobbisangel,
I have to agree with Shazza on this one. Have you seen the blog of Aussie Mike (our nickname for him)? This is the link:
http://ionglobaltrends.blogspot.com/
He has expressed the feelings and concerns of many people. He is fast becoming very popular. It appears that the media in the UK has treated this case with some unusual "kid gloves". Many people wonder why.
I think much of the harsh judgement (tough questions) that have been expressed is due to the inconsistencies in what the McCanns say and what they do. Also the lack of communication and emotion really bothers some. You mention that Kate McCann was going to cut back her work schedule so she could spend more time with the twins. I read on Gerry's (posted 6/24) that "We picked the twins up early from the kids club and had a really nice afternoon with them," and this statement does not jibe with Kate's promise to be a more attentive mom.
I read it like this, they are not working in their medical profession
at all right now. They are still in Portugal, all expenses paid. And yet they continue to leave the twins in the "kids club" (nice way of saying day care) all day. How do I know all day? He said picked the kids up
early and spent the
afternoon with them. Therefore, a typical day would mean that they would normally be in day care until evening. I would bet buckets of money that they are dropped off in the morning.
I know that I would spend every minute with them that I could. We would be going to the pool or the beach or the zoo that they visited awhile back. I would spend lazy days at home playing together. They would be sick of me hugging and kissing them all the time

I would not feel comfortable with them being in the care of the same resort that promised a safe place for kids and yet their sister was snatched.
This is just
one example of the information that just doesn't "sit right" with many people. This forum has been very hard on the McCanns:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=575814 they make us look like McCann supporters. And they are in their home country. I will work on a list of inconsistencies and post it in the future.
Suffice it to say that something is very, very wrong and I have a theory that I hesitate to share because it does not include a stranger abduction.
I hope that you will read our questions and Aussie Mike's observations and then tell us if you still feel that the McCanns should not be "judged". I think they are being questioned, not judged. The lack of answers contributes to their being suspect.
Hope you have a good week!!
