Was 50 metres from the apartment 50 metres too far?

they are not to blame...they are the victims of a crime

No, they are to blame.

They placed their children in needless danger.

[Mr Gray]

They should have taken reponsibility of facilitating any abduction they claim to have happened. Their 'image' was more important to them. It did backfire fast, which is a shame because if their daughter was abducted then they should share the responsibility  or her mortal state , whatever that is. Why do they have a problem with that?

because if Maddie was abducted then it is the abductor who is to blame

[Mr Gray]

No, they are to blame.

so if maddie was abducted you put all the blame on the mccanns....I predict you will be unable to answer this simple question

 and if there was no abduction.......

Madeleine was the victim of a crime, which SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED but for the stupidity of the mccanns.

I don't need to think about it.  Obviously I would blame myself, just as The McCanns have done.  Isn't that enough?  They will have to live with it for the rest of their lives, no matter what happens.
But when are any of you going to blame the real culprit who stole their daughter?

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if some moron set up a Fund for the abductor when he is caught.

At the beginning we were told about whooshing curtains maddie being snached, children being checked, like they were sitting in a garden. there was absolutely no mention of  "oh god what have we done we left our children alone to go eat and drink" and one is missing. NOT  A MENTION. and their story crumbled after inspection and "press intrusion"  asking awkward questions like "did you really leave your children alone every night? Hmm

and some of the answers they gave was just bewildering.

It has not been established what has hapened to Maddie yet. I very much doubt if anyone would put up a fund for an abductor if one is arrested and charged. But then perhaps Mr Bennett...

Davel, if there was an abduction, the parents are responsibe for facilitating it. As they failed to protect their childen, and indeed know there was a risk or dangers. Fire, waking up and being distressed at he absence of an adult and falling over etc.

 In fact  Maddie did mention this to Kate..Poor Maddie was ignored, and look at the consequence. How can anyone think after that encounter the parents were not aware of any risk or danger to their children?

Yet parents happily sign consent forms for coach trips....or sailing trips.....knowing the statistics....

You mean all those activities are unsupervised?

[Eleanor]

TOPIC.  PLEASE.

[Miss Taken Identity]

what parents would allow their 3 children to go on holiday knowing they were going to be left alone night after night?

Your argument doesn't hold!

I think it is disgraceful to say the mccanns are responsible if there was an abduction...no they are not....the criminal is responsible for the crime...no one else

[slartibartfast]

so if maddie was abducted you put all the blame on the mccanns....I predict you will be unable to answer this simple question

...put it back.

Not all.

[Mr Gray]

...put it back.

Not all.

your post doesn't make sense...as I predicted Stephen was unable to answer the question

You are very selective in your responses, that wasn't what was said and you know it.
