Who agrees with me that the McCanns are brave victims?

Question

Who agrees with me that the McCanns are brave victims?

Answer 1

Of what exactly? Their own wilful neglect? Madeleine is the victim!

Answer 2

the difference is karen mathews plotted for money, the mcanns didnt plot they just m,ade a huge mistake, and anyone on here who says they have never left their kids alone are liars, probably not alone while they went for a meal, but i bet you have left them in the garden or in the bedroom playing alone, little ben needham went missing from his garden

Answer 3

If a single mother had left one of her kids in the house while she popped out for a meal, there would be trouble.

If the child was kidnapped, you can bet your last penny she,d be thrown to the wolves (press) and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

When it emerged that the meal was actually a karaoke night then the poor girl would probably need police protection.

Funny then that two "professional" people seem to have walked away blame free. The class structure in this country is as strong as ever.

These two would be the first to point the finger...!

Answer 4

no i dont if they are victims where is the child they left her and went out with the windows open when they were offered a baby sitter wonder why

Answer 5

yes me 2 x

Answer 6

In what way can they be victims?  They willfully neglected they children, resulting in one being (allegedly) abducted.  Madeline is the victim.

Answer 7

I must assume that you are talking about the children......

and if you are, then yes I agree.

If you are talking about the parents then, no I don't agree!

Answer 8

Indeed I think the McCanns are extremely brave in the face of such adversity.

I couldn't do it. I admire their strength.

Answer 9

I don't think that it takes much courage to leave three very vulnerable children unprotected while you go out on the razzle .

Answer 10

what are they victims of?  the only victim here is madeleine.

Answer 11

PLONKER. How can people who neglect their kids be called brave.

Answer 12

Brave victims thats abit extreme isnt it..I mean they did LEAVE 3 under fives ALONE while they went and enjoyed a meal for ONLY adults...why take the kids on holiday in the first place?..why not get a child minder?...brave victims they are NOT!!! Poor Children in their care where they have such as easy attitude of easy come easy go...its ONLY GUILT thats driving them now!!

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!

Answer 13

The McCanns should be put against a wall... and shot!

Answer 14

but where is their little girl????????????????????????? shes the brave one poor little mite!

Answer 15

No, I don't agree they are victims. But they are definitely brave.

Brave and coldhearthed. And very, very clever...

Answer 16

Oh, I think they're brave alright, because they're definitely tempting fate. But their day will come...

Answer 17

not at all! i think they are liars and deserve everything they get. the only victims are the children yet no one seems to care anymore where 1 of them has gone and how this is affecting the others.

Brave victims?? they left that child on her own! they are not victims they are just as guilty as the person that took the child!

Answer 18

They left their child on their own.

and they show no emotion, or no evidence of hiding emotion.

remember when a little boy got shot in liverpool (merseyside) compare the McCanns with them, they couldnt hold it together at all!

They lost her through neglect, they deserve all they get.

The little girl doesnt, shes the brave victim

Answer 19

Victims yes, brave Im not sure, but I would not like to be them.

Answer 20

They are like zombies trying to live the rest of their lives in some normality. I am not sure that they should be regarded as "brave victims".

Answer 21

I have always believed the McCanns made a dreadful mistake by leaving their kid's alone, but are now paying a dreadful price. They were'nt the first to leave their kid's in that resort, and they won't be the last. I can't believe people don't learn from the McCanns mistake. Please read my answer to this recent question.

Answer 22

Karen Matthews has been charged with neglect, yet the McCanns haven't. Why? The only difference is that the McCanns openly admitted to leaving their children alone and in a different country.

The McCanns victims? I dont think so.

Answer 23

Me! I commend them for their strength.

Answer 24

They are victims of their own ignorance. Thinking its o.k to go to the pub and leave your kids at home alone? disgusting. And anyone who thinks what they did was o.k should have social services look into their own families as well.

Answer 25

Yes. I agree. I just hope that they never visit this site to see the opprobrium aimed at them.

Answer 26

Not at all.  If they are such brave victims why have they given up looking for that poor little girl of theirs?????  Madelaine is the victim not the parents.  I still think its a huge cover up and the McCanns had something maybe indirectly with that poor wee mites death.

Answer 27

whay have they found a body then? If not, I will hold off an opinion till it is known if she is still alive or dead and if she is dead who killed her.

Answer 28

Not I.

They neglected their children and have tried to cover their guilt with evasions, with manipulation of the Media, with a smokescreen of incompetence laid down by their 'private investigators', with the connivance of their drinking partners and with the tacit support of the English class system and with the financial support of a fanatically self publicising millionaire.

They are brazen, not brave.  The victim of their neglect is Maddy.

Answer 29

I do.

Answer 30

They're not the victims, the child that was lost as a result of their neglect is.

Nobody's ever given a good reason for their not being prosecuted for child neglect as they abandoned their kids to go to dinner.

If someone put their 3yr old and twin 2yr olds to bed and went to the pub accross the road, even sitting outside so they could keep an eye on their home, and something happened to the kids, the parents would be done in an instant.  Why not them?

Answer 31

Shut your'e mouth shady you are full of bull, the only r****d is you, i support the mccans so for those who dont like it, tough that is my opinion.
