So the mccanns behaviour is now being used as an 'excuse' for others.

It beggars belief.

A few extracts from the same link

Acceptable to the mods I hope.

''Gareth Morgan, defending, asked the magistrates not to impose a custodial sentence saying the woman had not touched a drop of alcohol since the night she left her son alone last October 30.

He said: "The parents of Madeleine McCann were guilty of child neglect for leaving their little girl much longer than my client.

"They were never prosecuted for it.

"The mother in this case is ashamed and remorseful at putting her young child at risk in the way she did."

Madeleine McCann case used as reason not to jail over-the-limit crash mum who'd left five-year-old home alone.
 
A MUM left her five-year-old son who had Asperger’s Syndrome home alone at night - but was caught after a road rage row with another driver.

The professional woman was over the limit when she went out for a drive leaving her little boy asleep on the settee.

She crashed into a car at traffic lights - and when police went to her home they found the "vulnerable" little boy all alone.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted child neglect and was facing a jail term.

But her lawyer pleaded for her freedom - because Kate and Gerry McCann were never prosecuted for leaving daughter Madeleine alone in their holiday apartment.

And now it all starts, enter the first of many who are now willing to use the McCann case as a get out of jail free card.

Thank you CPN...I have now merged the posts.

I guess it makes a change from the " leaving young children alone is something we all do" mantra

How many other offences are there?

Driving without due care and attention.

Driving while over the drink-drive limit (2 and a half times)

Causing an accident resulting in an accident

Leaving the scene of an accident without reporting it.

And it doesn't sound as though she had much of a plan in place to check on the welfare of her son.

Blimey, I cant believe a lawyer actually argued that in court, I mean, naming the Mccanns and saying they were negligent and werent prosecuted......
Thats got to be a first....not sure what to make of it, poor defence but shocked he said it

The woman cannot be identified for legal reasons, what the hell is that all about?  Anyone got any suggestions?
