Gerry McCann says that thousands did or would have done the same as them.
« on: October 22, 2016, 11:12:25 AM »
It has been said repeatedly, on this forum and elsewhere that the Mccanns received many letters from people saying they did the same as the Mccanns, and ergo by implication, what the Mccanns did was perfectly normal behaviour.

Yet this claim has never been substantiated.

Several posters on here have claimed to have done the same, but as they support the Mccanns, their claims could well be viewed as bias.

I know of a couple, the parents of one of my students, who left their young son , a 4 year old , in a hotel while they went out to dinner, with the door locked. He got out with a key, and wandered off. Fortunately, local people found him and returned him to the hotel and his scared parents. Needless to say, they did not repeat that behaviour, and it was in my view negligent, which they admit they were.

So , by what logic do people believe the Mccanns actions were acceptable ?

The video confirming

Sky ian woods interview 25 may 2007


At start of video 00.38

IW: This is a resort that offers childcare facilities, babysitting facilities. Why then were three young children left alone in the apartment while you were having a meal?
 
GERRY McCANN (GM): I mean; I think if you know the location here which you've seen, ah, what we did I think, and then we've been assured by the fact and the thousands of messages from people who've either done exactly the same or say they would have done the same, and for us, it really wasn't very much different to having dinner in your garden, in the proximity of the location. I think it's fair to say that you know the guilt that we feel having not been there at that moment irrespective of whether we had been in the other bedroom or not will never leave us.

logic that has been expalined to you many times and you still do not seem to grasp that others have different opinions

Sorry, but your story about your friends doesn't ring true. Hotels only give out one room key so either the parents were locked out or the son wasn't locked in.

Believe what you wish.

I have merely recalled what I was told.

So whether you accept it or not, is irrelevant.

Meanwhile what the Mccanns did, was inexcusable.

Most hotel rooms can by opened from the inside without a key.

I did and assumed it was either an old hotel or a minor error in the detail.

It was so inexcusable it has been repeated many times (in many forms) since Madeleine went missing, with no legal impediment.

Either the child had access to a key or it didn't. If there was no additional key then the parents would have know the door lock operated. Whilst locking it prevented access by strangers from outside it did not minimise the risks to the child inside.

Any parents doing what the McCann's did, should be charged with negligence at the very minimum.

One. Wow.

There are loads more. I'm sure you know how to google them.
Rather like GM's claims that he received many letters of support - do you really think he should have wasted precious time uploading copies of them all onto the net merely to prove his & Kate's actions were not unprecedented? Some saddo would have spent hours trying to prove the letters were all fabricated.

I agree, stupid leaving a child where they could get out.
