McCanns threatening to pull out of reconstruction?

Question

think they should be dragged to Portugal kicking and screaming

Answer 1

Reconstructions normally take place at exactly the same time, in exactly the same place on the same day, normally a week or so later, so that members of the public who make similar journeys on a regular basis may be allowed the opportunity to 'relive' that day in their minds.

I have never heard of forensic construction that takes place a year later. The police have failed to act promptly with forensic reconstruction and again are doing things the other way round.

Think properly !

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

i agree with you, they should be made to go back

Answer 4

IF and when the Police have evidence to arrest and charge them then they should be dealt with, until then, like certain National newspapers, we should not pass judgement.

Answer 5

Yes I do, if it was my child I would have had to have been dragged back to the UK 'kicking and screaming' not run away on the first plane out!

Answer 6

I think it is ridiculous. If it was any other person, we would be made to go back there. What have they got, what other people haven't got. It is because they are both guilty, and frightened of being found out by the police.

Answer 7

I would have thought it was a bit late in the day for a reconstruction anyway.

Answer 8

Not really. They're probably afraid that they may get arrested or mobbed or detained so they're making it as hard as they can.  I don't blame them really - who'd want to reinact sitting in a bar drinking while someone pretends to grab your still missing daughter.  I think it's a heartless thing to ask them to do.  They made a terrible, terrible error of judgement which will haunt them forever, but it isn't there fault that we live in a world where kids aren't even safe in their own beds.

Answer 9

I think they should be dragged - ANYWHERE - but get them out of here ! ! !

Answer 10

yeah they know it will incriminate them

Answer 11

i argee to make them do it guity guity guity

Answer 12

Obviously they have a problem Guilt!! They should be made to go,any parent whose child has been missing for nearly a year....no matter how painful it would be to do reconstruction would have gone back in the hope of finding their daughter...not Mc Canns they are dictating to the system,they should have been locked up of child neglect.I would not like anyone of them to be my doctor wouldn't trust them.

Maddie disappeared on 3rd of may last year which was my birthday  and  it's approaching in 3 weeks and I just wish to  god that she is found alive and well, I pray for her safety and hope people responsible get what they deserve very soon.

Answer 13

If my daughter was missing I would do anything deemed necessary to aid the Police in their attempt to find her, and if that meant reliving the trauma of a re-enactment then so be it.

What i will never understand is the attitude of these so called professional people who on losing their daughter refuse to stand up and actually say it was entirely their fault, and for those who disagree, if they had been with Madeleine she would not have been taken in the first place.

They should be dragged by their hair over to Portugal and made to do it.

Answer 14

Up until now,  although I have always said that those children should not have been left, I also did not feel comfortable with some of the more vitriolic abuse they have received on here and in the press, but not any more.After hearing the story about little Maddie crying the night before and asking why her parents went out and left her I am horrified.Their angry re action to the release of that story which they had obviously tried to suppress puts a different slant on their credibility.How could they have left them the following night knowing that she had woken up crying for them.Who knows perhaps she did wake up again and go looking for them.To answer the question yes I do think they should be made to go if for no other reason than to remind them how neglectful they were. I fear though that it will not achieve anything as it is something that should have taken place long ago.

Answer 15

They aren't in any position to shout off demands.

Answer 16

The McCanns have very powerful lawyers at their disposal.Specialists in fighting extradition cases.they have been put in place for a reason.they know very well that the McCanns will be arrested as soon as they step foot on Portuguese soil.

Answer 17

they make me sick. it said on tv they admit maddie cried the night b4 cause they left her.

they left those kids every night to go drinking and eating. they dont deserve our sympathy and never have had mine.

Answer 18

totally agree

Answer 19

The longer this saga goes on, the more the behaviour of these two wretched people gives glimpses of their guilt.  No one - but them and their drinking cronies - knows if their guilt is of child neglect only, or if it is of something worse.

Were they not doctors,  skilled self-publicists and millionaires (via a very dubious route) they would have no option but to take part.  They do seem to contradict the old saying that ' you can't fool all of the people all of the time'.

Answer 20

YOU MEAN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IRAQ?HE IS RIGHT.WHAT IS THE USE OF SPENDING BILLIONS TO RECONSTRUCT THINGS WHICH WILL B DESTROYED AGAIN.UNLESS A THOROUGH PEACE PREVAILS IN IRAQ,TALKING ABOUT RECONSTRUCTION IS FUTILE.

Answer 21

why wasnt it done in the week that maddie was taken ? doing it now is pointless. and i dont blame them for refusing to go.

Answer 22

They should not have a choice.  This is to help their daughter, and yet they are making threats and, according to the Guardian and Telegraph, more interested in "revenge" on the police for leaking their statements.  Surely, if they refuse, they should be charged with obstructing the investigation?  I don't get why they are more interested in demanding things, instead of helping the police.

Answer 23

These two are running scared now. Hopefully justice will be done !

Answer 24

Lenny said it all for me.

Answer 25

They just need a good slap

it's their s**t parenting that got her kidnapped in the first place excuse my insensitivity

Answer 26

Why are they even given the opportunity to threaten to pull out. At present they are Arguidos. I suppose their fancy lawyers are advising them.

I thought it would have thrown light on what happened to Madeleine, but obviously they dont want to take part. I wonder if the others will go without them.
