Should The McCann Twins Be Tabloid Fodder ?

[carlymichelle]

Likewise, I have a problem with:

''experts'' who think Madeleine who has come to no harm.
''experts'' who say there was an abduction, without the slightest bit of real evidence to support it.
''experts'' who denigrate Amaral for trying to do his job, yet won't criticize the mccanns for failing to look after their children properly.
''experts'' who say loads of people have done the same as the mccanns , yet fail to back up the 'loads'.
''experts'' who satarise  Amaral or any anyone else who doesn't toe the line of the mccann story.
''experts'' who make up fantasy stories about global conspiracies in an unproved abduction.


and there's more.

well said this is  child explotation   imo

great, another thread started with the sole aim of McCann bashing.  I'm sure the twins are very grateful to Faithlilly for all her efforts in keeping the hatred for their parents alive on the internet.

Had one or both returned to the Luz area and taken part in a search they would have gained so much support and respect from locals but they chose not to instead farming out the search to criminal entities like Metodo and Oakley.

So IOW you can't provide even a scrap of evidence that during Kate's visits to Portugal since Madeleine disappeared she has never spent any of that time searching for her daughter.

You will find them in the comments section of most rubbish tabloids.  Directed there by their Cess Pit Forums.

I don't think so.

You really need to, appreciate that some people are just up to here with the mccanns doing the 'poor me' act in the press.

and now using their kids to get money.  &%&£(+ &%&£(+ &%&£(+


Why don't the mccanns use their own money .

Why should other people pay for the mistakes of the mccanns ?

[stephen25000]

I suggest you read Angelo's post again.      Or alternatively perhaps you can provide evidence that at NO time during Kate's several  visits to Portugal over the last few years has she ever spent any time 'searching' for her daughter.

The mccanns have claimed to be searching.

It isa up to the mccanns to prove they have, and not Angelo to prove they haven't.

[Carana]

Is physically searching the only means of doing so?

Does campaigning to highlight the fact that she is still missing not count?

If so, what advice would you give to the parents of other missing children?


- never attempt to publicise what your missing child looks like
- never attempt to appeal to the public
- never encourage the public to post missing child posters
- never implore an abductor to drop off the missing person at a place of safety
- never ask the public to remain vigilant
- never report anything suspicious to LE, Crimestoppers or to a hotline
- never attempt to get a shelved cased reopened.

Is that the gist?

and she hasn't been found in nearly nine years of 'searching'................

That is, indeed, the sad fact so far.

Wrong.  The McCanns don't have to prove anything.

I would have assumed that the penny might have dropped by now that the Policia Judiciaria and Scotland yard are searching for Madeleine McCann.

An action which has come about only because of the exhaustive efforts of her parents to have her case reopened ... efforts which have been questioned, vilified, criticised etc. etc.

Who is going to suggest that is not a more effective course of action than prowling the streets of Luz ... knocking on the doors of people who,like Shining, very likely were not resident at the time  ... demanding ... " Excuse me, I wonder if you would mind terribly if I invaded your home to 'look for' my kidnapped daughter ... what do you know about it ... when did you have that patio laid ... you won't mind if I dig up that flower bed ...???"

Hmmm ... not terribly sane, is it?

The abuse directed at the twins does not emanate from their loving, caring parents ... it is born of downright hatred for a family who have suffered greatly ... but are seen as fair game because they have risen above that to move heaven and earth to find out what happened to Madeleine.
Perhaps the motivation for that hatred should be given some self examination.

[Brietta]

Child exploitation is being responsible for the botched investigation which failed to turn up a single clue about what may have happened to a missing child.

Compounded by writing a book to excuse that failure by accusing the parents of the missing child of involvement in her disappearance ... interpreted by some as murder ... while making a lot of money out of his failure.

There is the money making media careers of 'documentary makers' ... pundits ... doctored videos ... sale of books and pamphlets etc.

All of which exploit Madeleine McCann.

Since Madeleine's disappearance ... not only have the twins had to cope with losing their big sister ... they have had to be protected from the utter tripe projected on the internet about their family.
That is child exploitation ... if you give it some rational thought ... even you may see that.

Which abuse directed at the twins?

[ShiningInLuz]

Which abuse directed at the twins?

Beat me to it.

Has abuse already been directed at the twins?  When?  By whom?  Why?

I can see a bunch of ignorant teenagers doing so at secondary school.  That is what ignorant teenagers are capable of getting up to.

LOL you've wriggled so much - you've now got everything completely back to front.    It was  Angelo who claimed as a fact that the McCanns have never personally searched for Madeleine in Portugal.   So it's up to him to provide evidence to back that up.     Unless he was privy to Kate's itineries - there is no way he can possibly know what her plans were on her visits to Portugal -  or whether or not they involved searching for her daughter.    And that is a fact  - no matter how many times you try to move the goalposts.

It's against forum rules to make claims which you can't substantiate.    As far as I am concerned Angelo's claim is one of them.

Do you not think the abuse directed at their parents upsets the twins
It absolute must do
