When will the online persecution of the McCanns end?

So you've decided it's not 'minimal' now, have you? I can see landing sites below that balcony that I wouldn't want to risk any child of mine landing on. My son fell off the back of the sofa and concussed himself. My granddaughter fell off a chest of drawers and had to have two operations on her broken arm.

As you have experienced it , falls from minimal heights can readily be survived. It wasn't from the second, third or fourth floor.  There was potential to start a fall from much higher up but you can't get much lower than the ground floor.

It would take a much greater height to cause a fatality
I have asked before and there is NO recorded similar accident anywhere in the world

[Alfie]

If that happened (and there's no reason why it couldn't have) what happened next was entirely in the hands of those who found her. All I can say with certainty is that any such accident wasn't reported.

So you've given no thought whatsoever to what may have happened next, how or why?

[Alfie]

It seems that thoughts are not allowed on this.

Apparently there is one, official, 'line' that is 'allowed'; any contrary thoughts will be censured.

Marvellous ....

It makes tackling the issue head on nigh on impossible doesn't it?  But then that's a huge advantage for one side, they can pick away at the minutiae, having their "doubts", puzzling over the minor discrepancies, but never actually being forced to try and join any dots.  Frustrating!

My son was just school age but stayed home with a cough and cold. I was doing normal things; cleaning, tidying, etc. Accidents happen very quickly; it takes seconds. As I was present I was able to pick him up, see his eyes rolling, notice his drowsiness and help him when he went pale and felt sick. Within 30 minutes he was in A & E being checked and then admitted for overnight observation.  What a good job I was there to act quickly.

My daughter was downstairs and my granddaughter was upstairs (quite OK, she was 9 years old). Again, she was very quickly on the spot after the scream and able to act immediately.

Just two examples of normal accidents, and good examples of why adults need to be present in the home with their children.

Neither of my kids has ever had to be rushed to A & E - not bad going for a child neglect supporter, eh?

But not a child neglector

If the emergency services couldn't be called for some reason another solution had to be found. Unless a solution was found terrible consequences would follow. A case of 'needs must when the Devil drives'

You 'support' child neglect, do you? How does that work? Do you support all child neglectors or just a select few?

[Eleanor]

Are you so hide bound that you cannot see different circumstances?

What makes you think that?

None of mine either
But 2 of gunits
Makes you wonder who is looking after their children properly

what terrible consequences
Another myth

Who is thinking this? At Praia da Luz who is thinking this?

What seems very apparent after a glance through tonight's threads, is that some Mccann supporters, only have sympathy for the Mccanns.

The Mccanns regret their actions, as they bloody well should, as no one forced them to do what they did in the first place, and hindsight  by expressing regret, is no excuse for their failures.

I also noted comments about supporting the Mccanns, implying those doing it, are bad parents themselves. That doesn't follow. However, I've got little time who won't criticize the Mccanns for what they clearly did wrong.

I've also seen, on here and elsewhere, criticism of those backing Amaral. That includes attacks on the morals and ethics of those who believe his hypothesis. So those attacking him can hardly complain if the tables are turned.

The bickering at the moment on this forum, is a preclude to the decision by the Portuguese Supreme Court. May that happen sooner rather than later.

Amaral claims Maddie fell off the sofa and died
The man is an idiot if he thinks that is possible
