You see you make an assertion based on no evidence...therefore your conclusion has no value..

Based on the fact that by your own admission you mix with criminals

As I said...I don't believe what you are saying...the circumstances must have been very different..

The circumstances were not very different - end of.

This subject has arisen several times across different threads so maybe it's time to face it head on.

My own view is that they were irresponsible leaving two 2-year-olds and a 3-year-old alone in a holiday apartment in a foreign country.  Add to this what we know about Madeleine remonstrating with her mother as to why she and the others had been left alone and the fact that the apartment was by no means secure and you had all the makings of a disaster.

I now open this up for debate.

Is it too late to turn it into  a poll?

If you did, there would be those who would claim it was rigged

But of course

Just like to see how many think its fine to leave three toddlers on their own in an insecure home open to any tom dick or harry and one whch they could escape from , rather than a more closeted and secure hotel environment



Eta not forgetting they went around telling strangers thats what they DID! Bizarre couple

There is a simple answer to the title of the thread.............

NO.

Madeleine and her siblings were placed in unnecessary danger.

But a barrister reassured they were well within the bounds of responsible parenting.....


Lol

Like to see him in court arguing that when a child came to harm! Whilst they were out down the road and left their front and back doors unlocked

Well you obviously move in different circles to me.    I've never found anyone who didn't have the utmost sympathy for the parents.

Me too Benice.  Everyone I know feels deeply for the Mccanns and their family and friends.
