Open Letter to the Maddie Forum

[Rino]

I don't quite understand. Left alone with whom? The parents?

No, left without supervision while they ate.

If the parents are responsable for her death, it is because the children were left alone she went missing. A nanny would botch up the abduction hoax or at least make it much more complicated.

If she was dead before dinner, there is no neglect in her being left without supervision. But, they then left the twins alone with her corpse to facilitate their cover up.

I didn't do the bolding above, but I agree it is the most important part of the post.

First, if the parents are responsible for Madeleine's disappearance, it isn't
"Because of it" - leaving the children alone. If the parents "did it", Madeleine would have been demised BEFORE the parents selfishly left their children alone to go out and party with their friends.

Secondly, if Maddie was abducted, I believe the abductor (the one doing the abducting) is at fault. "How so?" you may ask. Because he/she took someone else's child without their permission and that's against the law. Maddie isn't missing "Because of it" , she's missing because a criminal took her. How many cases have we seen in recent years where children have been taken when the parents were at home? Elizabeth Smart is a good example and there are lots of others. No child is missing Because of it , they're missing because some criminal stole/kidnapped/abducted that child and broke the laws of God and man.

Think, if you will, about a rape victim. Remember when people said, "She was asking for it by wearing a dress like that?" That mind set was taking the responsibility off the rapist and putting it on the victim. I see the same thing happening in this case - the victims being victimized and, until proven otherwise, Madeleine and the McCanns are victims.

Madeleine isn't missing Because of it , she's missing because someone illegally took her or she was dead prior to it .

I wrote this long message but I am having internet connection problems so it did not post! Basically, I want to say we will have to agree to disagree on this one. You do not seem to believe it is such a big deal to leave tots unsupervised while the parents ate dinner with friends and even more you do not seem to believe that leaving the kids alone was the caused of the crime being committed in the first place. No sense to argue against common sense. With that reasoning, we will not use car or home alarms, babysitters or baby monitors...we would walk in the middle of the road because a car can kill us anyways and we would leave our kids to walk at night by themselves around town because if a predator would catch them, would get them with or without supervision. I am not going to argue against simply common sense.

Having said that, as stated before every poster is free to tackle the matter in the way he/she sees it fit. IF they want to repeat themselves a hundred times, so it be, nobody should point out fingers on "what should be done", what should be posted, what should be said, what should be felt.

Again, a tolerance issue.

Hello Friends...

I am going to have to agree with Sleuthmom and say that it would probably be better to agree to disagree on this one...BUT

If you still want to discuss it, please move here -------> http://websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53153

That is the Do you think the parents were involved thread.

Of course anyone that would like to add an Open Letter To The Forum....please feel free to do so here!!

I hate to ask to have it shut down but it is way off topic...

Repeating ones self a hundred times is everyone's perogative. I wonder, however, how that helps in finding Maddie?

Because it keeps her in our minds - as we and others continue to try to figure out what happened.

Problem is, people keep saying it over, and over, and over, and over, and over, until no one can get any other point across. It always reverts back to, "they left the childern alone". OK, yes, they did. There are worse things in this world kapish? Abducting a child and sexually abusing it is worse, right? Right?

Yes, it is definitely worse, but worse yet, is leaving 3 defenseless children alone and putting them in a position where someone could do such a thing with NO ONE there to even attempt to protect them.

Exactly! And I'm not sure that's something I want any of us to ever get over.
