??search Efforts For Maddy??

[KOOL LOOK]

I think if I found my child missing from a room - my first instinct would not be to call the Police - it would be to run around franticaly looking for her incase she had just wandered out - It would only be after a frantict search that then the enourmity of the situation would become apparent - and policve would be called - I think anyway panic would set in quickly and noone does anything logicaly once you are in a state of panic - as Kate mccaan would have been very quickly

I could go along with this explanation, and have pondered it already, but Kate's own words were, "They've taken her, They've taken her." as she ran into the bar. Which I find to be a normal response to run to her husband, but there's another but to this also.

If she thought Maddy had been abducted, which is another one of her first responses, especially to the police, then why did she leave her two other children alone in the same room she herself claims Maddy was taken from, abducted from, door locked, then unlocked, window being altered?

Kate can't have it all the five ways. :snooty: Something should be aligning up with the other. Words to match actions in some form. Also the warnings she was given concerning leaving the children alone. Then her apparent rebellion at overlooking the hotels suggestions and authority in using day care as she herself observed her other partier buds chose to do. Not to mention the prior burglaries, her admittedly own confession of Maddy's descriptive behaviors, being in a foreign place.

I would also wake up her sister and brother wondering if I missed her hugging one of them or with "Where's Maddie?!?!"

It also doesn't take logic to protect the twins, where was her maternal instinct at this point? Some day in the furture it is very likely those two will wonder the same thing, sad.

it hasnt been established 100% what she said - there is conflicting reports all the time on her exact words . Ok ignore the point that she left the kids alone - I see it has she went up at 10 to check and found Maddy not in bed - your first instinct would be to look around - was she in the toilet - in another room - Kate would have picked up on things - like where the cat was etc - as the sense of panic hits ( which would happen very quickly ) once she realises Maddy is not there then shee looses it and runs to her husband in a state of shock .

You see I am trying to see it from the angle that Maddy was abducted and the parents are guilty of nothing more than leaving theri kids alone

maybe thats what you think you would do sitting in a composed way in front of a screen

the sense of shock and pure panic that must have hit her once she realised her daughter was missing can affect everyone in a different way -

I ams ure she is absolutely riddled with guilt now - I would be , but again looking at objectively from a view point of the abduction thery I dont find her immediate reaction strange atall - she was probably ion a state of pure terror/panic at that point

No, it is exactly what I have done when finding one of my children is not where I left him or her.

I'm not so sure she is.

"I know that what happened is not due to the fact of us leaving the children asleep. I know it happened under other circumstances."

Asked about whether the decision to leave them meant she and her husband were responsible for their daughter's disappearance, she said: "It cannot be considered a crime. "Someone committed one, but not us."

Where was her maternal instinct when she decided to leave these children alone night after night so she could party with her friends?

I don't believe I agree with you about this. I find her immediate reaction completely strange. I also don't believe that we've EVER seen her in a state of panic. Either that, or she's got unnatural control over her emotions.

She has maternal instinct deficit disorder :doh:

I personally think she's got some kick pie hole drugs! I've suspected this the entire time, just never mentioned it. I wish she would share what works so darn well, I just can't imagine a parent keeping it together continually. Even if it is behind the scenes, someone would be showing signs and symptons of having been around me in the privacy of our closed doors, the many doors she's had the priviledge of. Scratch the last part of this sentence, it's deflamatory. I don't mind her being well off.

Good post. I think you hit on some very valid points about looking FIRST and calling later. I probably would do the same thing, and I believe most parents would look for the child, and inform their husband BEFORE calling the police. That just seems a reasonable thing to do.

I remember reading in this forum that the local police was called immediately and came quickly, it was a whole issue of these people speaking Portuguese so one of the staff members of the resort helped translating...then the "bigger" police (whatever is the name again) was called around 40 minutes after the first one came. Not sure of the accuracy of this but I read it here in WS.

Sure looks that way, doesn't it?

 

[philamena]

We're talking about multiple people rushing to make a 911 call. In other words, I don't think Kate neglected to call the police because she assumed someone else called when she noticed Madeleine was gone. Most parents would've called anyway just to make sure a call went out for assistance.

gotcha!

You know everyone - I bet if we ask that question just a couple more times: "why would Kate AGAIN leave 2 unprotected children in a hotel room AFTER she discovered one of her children MISSING?" Mr. Mitchell will come up with an answer for us. Maybe we should start a thread with this title and see just how long it takes to get a response in the Sun, DaiyMail and/or the Mirror......

What do ya think?

I think it's worth a shot! We could start a betting pool on how quickly we get a response.

After all, Clarence was on the job for less than a week when we heard the words "they've taken her" recanted. Two days for Clarence to get all the friends lined up with the same story, another day or two to get it out to the news, and voila! She never said THAT.

Thefact of leaving the twins and running back to the Tapas Bar has bothered me the most

What do ya think?

Salem

This fact over everything else has bothered me from the very beginning. If you found one child out of 3 missing, why on earth would you leave the other 2 and run 40/50/60 or 100 yards away to alert your Hubby?

It doesn't now and never did make any sense to me.

Panic?

 

[philamena]

I'm not saying that that's what I'd do but what if Kate looked at the bed, saw the twins and realized Maddie was missing? Is it far fetched to think that maybe she'd be full of fear and exit the door screaming whatever she screamed? There is a chance Kate was in shock.

Well, there is one report claiming she screamed "they've taken her", but there are several other reports saying she screamed "Madeleine is gone."

I imagine panic, fear and shock ALL played a part in her reaction.
