Harmed or not harmed ...that is the question

[Lace]

Horrendous thought isn't it ?

Imagine the guilt if you had enabled that horrendous injustice to a child.

Yes,  a guilt that the McCann's carry every day,  and some people love to keep reminding them of it.

[Lace]

i wouldnt be able to live with it would  you??

They have to carry on they have two other children,  that is what probably keeps them from crumbling and the hope that Madeleine will be found alive.

[faithlilly]

Yes,  a guilt that the McCann's carry every day,  and some people love to keep reminding them of it.

Really ?


Jenny: 'And how will you deal with the guilt that will probably stay with you forever of having left Madeleine alone?'
 
Kate: 'Well, I have actually come to terms a little bit with... with that, Jenny, I mean, you know... I know the, errm, I know the situation that we were in that night and uh, I've said all along, I didn't feel I was taking a risk. Errm, yeah, I... I do feel desperately sorry I wasn't with Madeleine at that minute when she was taken. Errm, I'd also like to mention I've had so much support from so many people. I've had so many letters and comments sent me.. sent to me from other families, and particularly other mums saying, you know, we have done what you have done a hundred times over, do not blame yourself.'

So you think the McCann's are not blaming themselves?    It's etched on Kate McCann's face faithlily,  the drive to find Madeleine is keeping them going.

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann admitted yesterday they would feel guilty for the rest of their lives about leaving her alone in her bed as Portuguese police finally issued a description of a man they believe may be her kidnapper.

Are you a confidant of the McCanns then Lace or a you just projecting onto them the way you would feel if you were in their situation ?

"I do feel desperately sorry I wasn't with Madeleine at that minute when she was taken." And then Kate leaves the twins alone again so they too could be taken.  &%+((£ 

[Alice Purjorick]

I believe Gerry said 'had come to no harm'  meaning that he didn't think Madeleine was dead.

You seem not to have addressed the question and continue to put your interpretation forward as fact.
Never mind.

[faithlilly]

"I do feel desperately sorry I wasn't with Madeleine at that minute when she was taken." And then Kate leaves the twins alone again so they too could be taken.  &%+((£

Why wouldn't you lift them up and take them with you ?

Did she even check to see if the twins were okay ?

Hardly likely.  Unless the abductor wanted to be caught.  How far do you think he would have got with everyone running around screaming.
Let's have a bit of common sense here.

......and that assumes there was an abductor.

Mmm.

Most would ring the police straight away if they knew their child had been abducted like she always claims but she didn't call the police at all. "I know more than you I was there." KM. Yes Kate but you didn't call the police but were most keen to call a priest. In her statement there is nothing about looking through the open window for any sign of an abductor or Madeleine. If Madeleine got through the window she could have fell onto the ground below. Her statement doesn't include these simple first checks and then the twins were left again.

I am giving you quotes from the McCann's,  just as you are,  but the one I give said they would feel guilt for the rest of their lives.

Do you have the direct quote ?

You have no idea how you would react if a child of yours went missing,  its fine looking back at something and thinking what they should have done and when they should have done it,  but as you weren't in their position you can't judge.
