Does anybody have any compassion for the McCanns ?

Question

I know it's asked over and over again. I am just so heartbroken by the mob mentality that has got a grip in the Current affairs section of YA's, anybody who disagrees with the venomous theories such as this:http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...

Which make up the majority of questions on there receive violation notices. There are only 3 or 4 people who object to the libelous statements they make, so it's gone mad. I know there are a lot of educated, compassionate, resonable people in this catagory, so I'm asking: Any chance of you going to current Affairs in the news catagory and redressing the balance? Please

Answer 1

This sad event could have happened to any family with young children. Here is as case where a little girl was snatched from her own home, yes it can and did happen. right under her mothers eyes. I have compassion for this mother also. Why there is all this hatred aimed at the McCanns who also made a tragic mistake is quite beyond me .

Penny so you don't like me making comparisons just because it does not suite your argument . Pity as they both have a couple of things in common.Perhaps a trip to the optician may help you

Answer 2

You are right, there are lots of educated, compassionate, reasonable people here. But venomous theories? hmmmm ....

What happened to the freedom of speech/opinion?

So you were saying: innocent unless proven guilty.

Do you think, blood is thicker than water?

Poor innocent girl.

Justice will prevails.

Answer 3

Educated?Why not try doing a little homework.

Answer 4

The McCanns might have conned you but I have never believed them  from the start, the only compassion I have is for their unfortunate surviving children,we can agree to differ...surely ?

Answer 5

To be honest what ever is said on here is just peoples opinions nobody is right and nobody is wrong. I wouldn't worry i cant see Gerry and Kate coming on here and even if they did, they wouldn't hear nothing they don't already know. Even they must realise they let the children down by leaving them night after night like they did. So to me been compassionate or not, wont make a blind bit of difference on here :)

Answer 6

People have differing points of view.

Just because it's different from yours doesn't make it wrong.

I have compassion for every child who was on that group holiday, who were ALL left alone - one as young as 11 months.

I especially have compassion for Madeleine, who is the victim in all of this.  Not her parents.

I am able to air this point of view without being insulting and libellous.

Answer 7

Thought you were new here MM.

So instead of throwing incendiary questions into CE purely design to provoke a flame war why don't you tell us who you really are.

Answer 8

Yes, I do, I have believed them from the start, I do not believe that they have had anything to do with her disapperance, as much evidence as there may be!

But yes,, the limelight has really gone off the fact that she is actually missing, and her saftey, and gone onto what Kate and Gerry had for breakfast, they should of and should continue to look at what they have and work on that, not on their reaction to everything that is said and work out from there whether they are guilty.

And I shall try, when I have a way to say it without being attacked, I agree with your point, this should not be used as a way to put their opinions accross and make sure everyone believes them.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 9

no.they are guilty.

Answer 10

Nicely said! a star for you!

Yes, i have compassion for Madeleine's parents.

Answer 11

it seems you want answers to support your point of view ...... why bother?

as for compassion for the mccanns ..... sorry i do not

the reason being that i don't believe their version of events and wonder at their eagerness to threaten legal action against anyone who does not buy into their story (smacks of bullying)

they certainly put their interests before those of their children when they left them crying in the apartment while they partied

and as for what happened that night ...... i suspect the mccanns know much more than they are saying

i feel sorry for the child who may have been abducted but have nothing but contempt for her neglectful parents

Answer 12

I have just left through >>>>>>> that door!

Answer 13

It is unfortunate hat this should happen to a family, even though some of the blame could be placed in their hands.  But compassion yes, as I would not wish what has happened on anyone.

Answer 14

No and I am not sorry that they only have 500,000 left in their fund.

I suppose now the Olympics have finished .

Clarence will start his spinning top again.

I see also they have sacked some investigators

Answer 15

This is silly. You ask this question only to hear what YOU want to hear, and then reject all other questions. And I don't believe it's your first day. Who's behind the avatar, MM?

Answer 16

I have compassion for little Maddie, I have 2 kids myself and have probably been over cautious when it comes to letting them play out as I've always worried that you just don't know who's around, and who might want to take your kids. Because of that I've never left them alone, so I cannot feel any compassion for 2 people who put a social life before the welfare of their children. There are plenty of awful stories in the news about child abuse so why on earth would anybody think its safe to leave children so young alone?

The reason there is so much bad feeling directed towards these two people is that they went out to enjoy themselves and couldn't even see their apartment. You wouldn't go out for the night and leave your house unlocked would you? You'd be worried about being burgled.

So why go out and leave your kids alone?  

Answer 17

Can. Worms. Open

<<<stands well back

Answer 18

ive always had compassion for the mccanns. and i always will.

Answer 19

you should ask yourself how much compassion the MccANNS  showed their own daughter when they left her alone with two babies while they want drinking with friends they left them  to fend for herself

i am heartbroken that nobody wants justice for madeline and are determined to prevent the truth coming out

Answer 20

No compassion for the parents here I'm afraid.

Only the poor child.

I can't help wondering if Maddie hadn't been kidnapped/murdered and just had an accident/died while her "loving" parents where out on the P*ss (for the 6th night in a row)

Would you still feel sorry for the parents or would you be calling them fit to burn ?

Answer 21

completely, no matter what they have done, and how much people have condemned them, and the hate that has spewed out, you have to have compassion in your heart, they have lost a child, who may be alive but with people who do not care about her welfare or dead, so who could not. You have to have a heart of stone to do otherwise

Answer 22

My compassion is for the child, not for the perpetrators of this heinous deception.

Answer 23

Why have you deleted your earlier question, the one where you profess to be new to Yahoo Answers and this being your first day? As I said there, you seem to know a lot about the users on here for someone who's first day this is.

Your question: Yes I do.

Answer 24

I feel sorry for madeline.

Not G & K, they should have known better!

Answer 25

to answer your question...yes.

Any person , especially one that has a child could only feel understanding and compassion.

I think people are angry that they left their children alone, we all agree that was a huge mistake, but I have to believe they love their children very much. whatever they chose to do, was their decision. Right or wrong . Its certainly not for me to name call them. After all that's said and done, the fact remains they are going through one of the most traumatic experiences life could have thrown at them.

I hope they will get their closure , to answer your question, yes I feel every bit sad for them.

Answer 26

Not a single drop for those so-called parents, but plenty for their children.

MW. this questions is about the McCanns, not other cases & now we know which rag supplies all your info. That accounts for it.

Answer 27

What you are asking for is people to agree with your opinion. You seem unwilling to accept that people can have their opinions and have a right to express them

I believe the McCanns have got themselves into the problem themselves.
