' Best case scenario - they are not involved - still leaves the repeated neglect of their children (not interested in any protestations that it wasn't neglect because they were not charged; you leave three infant children unattended while you go out for tapas, it's neglect), their refusal to co-operate fully with the investigating officers, their use of funds donated by the public to sue their critics, and their repeated whining, moaning and complaining about how hard done by they are, including their total lack of respect for people who attempted to help them.
To demand they are shown respect is like demanding the same for Lance Armstrong for winning all those races, even if he was ripped to the nipples on performance-enhancing drugs at the time. '
Yes, we've been over the point that they left the children, they have admitted themselves that they shouldn't have, as Gerry said you can't put the clock back.
They did co-operate fully with the investigating officers until they accused them of having staged an abduction and hidden Madeleine's body. Then, they were advised not to co-operate. Amaral used false evidence to frighten them.
Hello? The fund is there to help the parents, they were fully entitled to use it against Amaral when he was claiming they had something to do with Madeleine's disappearance and that she was dead, that would have prevented anyone coming forward with evidence, they wouldn't bother if they thought she was dead would they?
When have they moaned and whined about how hard done by they are? Give an example. All they have complained about as far as I can see is people giving out the wrong messages.
