well G A ....was a detective .....and according to some ...he didn't do his job...he has stayed focus on maddie the victim in all this through no fault of her own
now what about them two .....they never did there job ....as either parents ....or doctors....they are the ones that are a disgrace .......because they knew what they were doing was wrong...and have focused more on there reputation ....and what it has done to them
However deluded they are, even the most rabid McCann supporter must acknowledge that being left unattended in an unlocked apartment subjected the mccs children to the risk of harm.
Under new legislation David Cameron proposes to introduce as a result of the safeguarding issues raised by the Rotherham child exploitation case and others, anyone in a position of responsibility, such as a teacher, social worker or police officer, who becomes aware of a child placed at risk the way Madeleine was and yet fails to report this to the authorities, faces a jail term of up to five years.
So what does this have to do with the McCanns?
Well, had this legislation been in place at the time, a certain social worker who has been vilified for making contact with the police would have been compelled to do so as a professional responsibility, or risk a prison sentence. This would probably also apply to the childcare workers.
Just to add that medical staff were already expected to report care concerns to Social Services, so Kate McCann, as a GP, would have been expected to report to the authorities any children on her register that she knew were being left alone in the way that the McCann children were.
How many more times. The McCanns did no different to hundreds of thousands of other parents who have left their children asleep and gone to dinner WHILST ON HOLIDAY - knowing they would be regularly checked. This has been an accepted method of childcare for years and years for families WHILST ON HOLIDAY - and one which is offered as a SERVICE to parents by hoteliers, tour operators etc. for people WHILST ON HOLIDAY.
If they did wrong then so has every other parent who has done the same - some of whom are
still doing the same. AFAIK no-one has ever been arrested for signing up to the Listening Service and going to dinner WHILST ON HOLIDAY AFAIK no-one has been arrested for leaving their children asleep and taking a baby alarm with them to go to dinner or to a bar - or wherever - WHILST ON HOLIDAY.
The only difference between the McCanns and those other parents is that
their child disappeared. I've no doubt that many of those other parents who did the same at that time - went home breathing a huge sigh of relief and thinking '''There for the grace of God....... I'm also sure that after seeing what happened to Madeleine many of them would never contemplate doing that again. Unfortunately many have not - and so it still carries on. Which is why I think it should be banned.
Talking as if the McCanns are the only parents on the planet to have mirrored the Listening service - and that it is some terrible crime which is unique only to them - for which they deserve to be persecuted and hounded for the rest of their lives- is totally inexplicable to me. It could have happened to any number of the thousands of other children whose parents did the same IMO.
And please don't tell me that no other parents who have left their children asleep have ever left a window open or unlocked - or a door unlocked or a key under the mat when they went off for their evening meal.
