"Start by Asking Yourself What is a Supporter and Work on from There”

[faithlilly]

Do you have a cite for " they drove a woman to suicide"?
Did she leave a suicide note?
You have absolutely no idea of what her reasons were but continue to use her suicide as a excuse to malign the MCCanns and supporters.
Your post is quite shameful in my opinion

Do you think Brenda Leyland would have committed suicide on that day if she hadn’t been exposed on national TV ?

i know  who   it was she fled the internet  right after brendas death

Could we have the name please Carly?

[Angelo222]

you  know  what im saying  i keep emgrath  on ignore  i cant  deal with people like  her  life isnt  perfect but   the dossier  had  alot to do with what brenda  did  imo     the  dossier people  ruined her life  just because  she had a opinion that didnt  match theirs  that dossier   shit went allaround the world  brenda was on every news  including  here in  australia and sky news shamefully   repeated it over and over   sorry    people justifying the dossier  actions piss me  off

Had Brunt not intervened in the nasty cowardly way he did by ambushing a vulnerable woman on her doorstep she might still be alive today.

I have no idea .
 I believe she had attempted suicide before.
I don't know what drove her to make this first attempt.

If you had a relative who in your opinion was driven to suicide by being exposed on national television, would you pursue some form of legal action against that television company?

[misty]

Maybe its because it mostly isn't an actual crime.

Freedom of speech permits the mental cruelty which is inflicted on many vulnerable people via social & other medis conduits. It appears that only when there is physical harm in some form does such FOS become a crime, which in many cases is preventable by early intervention & deterrent.

Which is perhaps how it should be.
Police have enough to do dealing with actual crime, without having to bother with upset feelings.
IMO

Okay. Do you believe Brenda Leyland’s treatment by Sky was measured and fair?  Did she pose any threat at all to the McCanns ?

I find the modern rolling news to be over the top and this manner of reporting a news item is not measured.
I have no idea of whether she was a threat to Madeleine's family but she obviously had mental health issues and therefore her behaviour would be prone to being unpredictable.
Therefore she could have posed a threat.
Who would know.?

Are you suggesting that everyone with mental health issues are likely to be a danger ?

What would you suggest as a yardstick - coverage by Portuguese media of the McCanns during  the preceding 7 years?
Are you suggesting that no-one was a threat to the McCanns (or anyone else), in spite of what was said online?

Someone who has mental health issues and who spends an inordinate time tweeting and obsessing about the family of a missing child and who behaves in what I would describe as in a stalking manner, could indeed present a danger to the person or persons they are obsessed with.
Nice try at deflecting away from my two questions.

I’m saying Brenda Leyland wasn’t a threat and for supporters to use the fact that she had mental health issues to suggest she was a danger to the McCanns is reprehensible behaviour. No wonder there’s such a stigma around mental health with individuals such as we see on this forum peddling their ill-informed opinions.

Talk's cheap. Has there ever been a physical attack made on the McCanns ? I don't recall anyone being charged with assault or affray .

Who knew that she had any mental health issues before her death? Is it OK by you that people who have no involvement with online abuse are targeted in comments & maybe have to live in perpetual fear for their life? Is it OK by you that people must turn a blind eye to the abusers just in case they are really sensitive souls at heart who wouldn't hurt a fly?
People have an "off" button on electronic devices. The same does not apply to real life.
