The Sun claims Madeleine McCann was kidnapped during a botched burglary.

[carlymichelle]

Mark Warner and the Ocean Club were negligent in my view in not warning guests that this was going on.  I also think the resort owners should have had visible security around the blocks.

that doesnt  excuse the mcanns lack of duty of care  imo

[pathfinder73]

i always wondered  why the  mcanns  allowed matt etc and  the others in alone  to  check their  kids   why didnt they do  all  the checking on their kids by themselves??

That blew everything to pieces - that unforeseen check. It made Matt number one suspect but he revealed the truth about actual times i.e. 9:50 left to check not 10.

Surely a child awoken by a burglar opening her window would run. This greatly increases risk of accident.

No it doesn't but forewarned is forearmed.

Yes, they should have done.  One wonders what they were thinking of, although I could take a guess.

But as you say, why no visible security?  Not that anyone expected a child to be stolen.

Burglaries happen all over the world.

There is no excuse for not using common sense.

Likewise, they locked the apartment during the daytime, so if they thought there was no possibility of abduction, why lock the apartment ?

We don't all have nasty minds.

We don't all have nasty minds.

What on earth do you mean by that ?

[Brietta]

You can type abduction or burglary to your heart's content.

There is no evidence for either, and you know that.

There is evidence that someone other than the occupants of the apartment interfered with the shutter and the window.

There is evidence of the absence of Madeleine McCann.

There is evidence that burglars were operating in the apartment block from which the child disappeared.

There is not a scintilla of evidence to support any of the preposterous theories dreamed up by the senior investigator at the time or the even more deluded imaginings he subsequently spouted unashamedly to any who would listen.

This is getting ridiculous.

Burglaries happen all over the world.

Besides,. it was never Mark Warner's responsibility to look after the mccanns children.

No there isn't Brietta.

There was no interference to the shutters or windows.

..and as regards typing mantra about Amaral, have you learned nothing at all.

There was evidence found on the window and tampering of the crime scene.

thats a  very strange  post imo???  i  wasnt inplying anything i just meant most parents look after their own children or should anyway

[pegasus]

It's sad that one person is being ignored.

[ShiningInLuz]

what we know for almost certain is that they are being blocked.Having spent 12 mill it's a disgrace if they are blocked. The question is ..as i have said several times...will they accept being blocked and walk away quietly or will political pressure be applied to force portugal to cooperate

Political pressure?  By whom, on whom?

It's people in the Portuguese legal system who decide whether Portuguese citizens are subjected to arduous interviews requested by foreign police forces, not SY, the PJ, or The Sun.

No one in Portugal requested or approved the spending of 12 million by a FOREIGN police force, did they?
