There were 42 comments when I read this article earlier today.
Credit where it's due, at least one of the comments I read wasn't blaming the McCanns for child neglect or accusing them or knowing where Maddie is.

I feel sorry for the twins, they'll have to live their teenage years having Kate & Gerry breathing down their necks every time they go online.

Many teenagers have their parents carefully monitoring their online viewing.Im sure the twins have been helped to prepare for the vitriol which has been directed at their mother and father.
It will not be easy for them.

I think, when the twins are educated enough, they'll search online, maybe see that clip of the CSI dog, his head snapping back, as he barks, at their mothers clothes & at the wardrobe & the hire car, & then they'll reach their own conclusions. And that will be more of a problem to the McCann's than any posed by some inadequate dregs posting about child neglect.

and the twins will be educated and intelligent enough to understand the alerts have no value...imo

After 12 years of indoctrination, they probably now believe they actually saw the intruder

IMO I don’t think they will pay much attention to the legal niceties.

The hardest question might be. Mummy dear...why did you not answer the 48 simple questions when the nice policeman asked you?

Maybe they'll research other missing persons cases, where a cadaver dog has indicated & a missing person has later been found alive.

I think the twins will have a far better understanding  of the alerts, than your post suggests

Again I think the, twins will be intelligent enough to understand the reality of the situation

The answer could well be

If I had I would not have been here today to bring you up and answer your questions because I would have been in a Portuguese jail.

   Shannon Matthews?

   Shannon Matthews?

Nice example, given the perpetrators of said child's disappearance.

[Lace]

My, my. I'd forgot how grief-stricken the parents were in the early days. Brings it all back.

It's easy to plaster a smile on your face isn't it?    You can't however look into their minds at what they are really feeling.

How many times do you hear people say when someone commits suicide 'they seemed fine,  they were laughing and joking'   etc etc.

You fail to understand the human body and how it reacts,   you are just quick with your sarcasm.

[slartibartfast]

The answer could well be

If I had I would not have been here today to bring you up and answer your questions because I would have been in a Portuguese jail.

Another myth?

[Brietta]

Another myth?

Who was the arguida the newspapers and later Amaral's book smeared with false accusations?

[ShiningInLuz]

Another myth?

Given that is has been shown the maximum sentence for illegal corpse disposal is 2 years,

that people seem to get only suspended sentences at least up to 4.5 years, according to latest Portuguese news ....

Yes, it does seem that nearly 11 years after Madeleine disappeared, this is indeed a myth.
