Gerry McCann says that thousands did or would have done the same as them.

[Miss Taken Identity]

Thousands are bloody lucky they got away with it then.

Yeah not like these poor sods- She popped to her mums with emergency meds- just along the road.... well from Devon to London, and she got panic attact so had to take her husband...Now you have to ask, and why don't you, why the husband, who didn't have panic attacts, didn't take the emergency meds to mummies.

 I thnk it's because this is a UK cultural thing we all do it all the time... it's very safe....

and so this couple also made the news(oh the fame)  BUT no fund was set up, the Sun didn't want pictures of them jogging or jigging as some kind ot repentance therapy and worst of all they didn't get to meet the pope!  dam shame if you ask me.

and...

This poor unfortunate woman was like sitting in a pub,like she could in a garden, but... well she got 1 year jail because if the child died or was abducted she would have got longer?  Looks like the judiciary are not all that happy about leaving kids while adults in charge go drinking...

This woman was not  middle class or a doctor and the child was considered to have been abused by being left alone, at night... now I just knew there was a law against it...

There is an alternative to that proposition, which I find more credible.......

I can't imagine what you mean. *&*%£

Never a truer word said.

[stephen25000]

So we are very clear then what Gerry Mccann said.

Likewise, as suggested by TWO POSTERS the other day, that it was a myth that he said that, has been shown to merely be the truth they would like others, not to be aware of.

IMHO, naturally.

I have reinstated the above post because it is an excellent example of why anti social behaviour and child abandonment should attract a prison sentence. This example has little in common with the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine.

This sorry woman went on a drinking binge and left a baby in an upturned pram in a park.  The little girl was found strapped into her buggy, face down, by a dog walker.  She had no coat, shoes or blanket, a dirty nappy and grazes to her face.  Gill has now been jailed for a year after court heard the baby could have died.

No relevance to this case

No relevance to this case

It does show what sort of extreme neglect will result in a prison sentence.  Hardly equivalent to what the Tapas group were doing.

The only point (of relevance to the McCanns) highlighted.

So why the post is here, I have no idea.

Thank you for reinstating this John. I am still being watched. I am too controversial at times playing devils advocate.

 I was attempting to show supporters, who insists the McCans are 'innocent' and have done nothing wrong, that if what they did happened in this country, things would have been handled very differnetly indeed. It was particulariy interesting that it was said 'what if'... what if she were; abducted, killed by feral animals, or died of hypothermia. I year jail term that stupid woman got for placing  that baby in danger, Supporters  don't think the Tapas were stupid doing what they did because they were doctors... The similarities are striking, all adults were drinking, one adult didn't plan to leave the child in danger and got 1 year, the others did plan.

MTI youre wrong as history shows the working class are penalised, the middle classes let off

Not many cases of middle class people being sent to prison or given suspended sentences...hundreds for working class

Yes, indeed Merc. Sharon Mathews got prison for abducting her own daughter...

[Miss Taken Identity]

As I said before

Since you mention it twice, I feel compelled to point out the differences:

One woman was jailed for 'abuse' as was the claim against her for leaving a child unattended all night while she went for a drink. The child was exposed to danger as I have mentioned before.

The tapas planned a holiday in which they would leave their children unattended- exposed to danger every night, even after their daughter challenged them about being left alone with two other babies, the Parents left them alone again. One child has never been seen since- the child who challenged the parents...OMG they were given a red carpet, money, fame, they had PR to take care of the not so nice bits of the story, and here we are today years later and still people look upon them as victims. I am thinking about what happened to Little Maddie, who cares this is about her parents reputations!
