Why are Kate and Gerry Mccanns children allowed to remain?

Question

with them after they clearly are not responsible. leaving your children in a unlocked room whilst you go and drink?

in normal situations the children would be removed or at least put under some sort of watch. its neglect.

you cant tell me this isnt money related, if this were a poor family whos daugther went missing in this circumstance's they would be up roar. why is no one investigating for abuse?

put it this way if i left my son in his room and went for a pint , and the social services found out! well i would have trouble expalining myself.

i just do not get it.

somethings not right here.

Answer 1

I can not believe these answers. Yous think it is normal to leave children alone sleeping. What planet are yous on? I have never done it and I would never ever think about it. It has nothing to do with them being doctors, it is bloody common sense. It is the MC Canns fault that their daughter is missing, there is no other way to look at it. If they were not doctors most likely their other children would have been taken from them. END OF STORY.

Answer 2

The twins are not in custody because CPS checked in November I think it was to make sure they were being looked after properly and found they were in a perfectly safe environment.

Answer 3

If you watched the channel4 programme regarding the 9yr old Shannon last night,you'll see the huge class division and even old fashioned snobbery in the reporting ofthe 2 family's.Shannon and her albeit not very bright parents and friends live on a'sink estate'in Dewsbury,unemployed,inarticulate and in short 'The Simpson's' of Yorkshire!The Macann's are highly articulate,professional middle class people who count amongst friends people like Richard Branson,M@S owner Philip Green,highly paid consultant doctors etc,who simply couldn't do anything to Maddy?could they?Why do you think that  95%of child social service's work centres around poor,disadvantaged people?Something is not right about the class and gender bias within social services(bias against u/e males)and I for one would like to see a public enquiry into the whole institution and this case in particular!

Answer 4

I have nothing but compassion for the grief the McCaann's must be going through, but I must also add that we never once left our children alone. That would be irresponsible, at worse neglectful .

Answer 5

I suspect that the real reason some of you hate the McCanns is because they are middle class doctors who are married and have a comfortable home life. Do you McCann bashers also attack Shannon's disfunctional family members too? Bear in mind that her mother has 7 kids by 5 different fathers and now is shacked up with a 22 year old. Shannon even scrawled on the wall that she wanted to run away from home. None of the family look particulary bright and i'm guessing that they are probably on benefits ( they look like Jeremy Kyle guests). Why did the mother even allow a 9 year old child to walk home alone from school in the first place- given that it was about a mile away?

Answer 6

Well said Paul B.

Must be hard being such a perfect parent mustn't it!!! How many of us haven't made a mistake. Just so happens that the McCanns (especially Madeleine) paid a huge price for theirs. My sympathies are with them.

Answer 7

i agree with you fully and paul b u need to sort your head out.  i can honestly say i have never left my son alone or in any danger because thats what being a parent is all about making sacrifices!!!!!!! u cannot put a meal and a pint before the safety and welfare of your child. yes sure they beat themselves up about it everyday but they have only got themselves to blame i wouldnt leave my child alone at home never mind in a foregin country that they are not familiar with.  and no i am not a mccann basher i am just a parent with sense unlike them. also if you look at the shannon matthews stroy and the coverage they got beacuse they werent an upperclass family its ridicoulus the presss interest faded after a week or so and nobody handed them £100,000 cheques and she didnt leave her daughter alone !!!! enough said

Answer 8

Well, if, in every situation like that, the children were taken away, do you have any idea how many children would be in social security?

Almost every child.

I mean, it's not like parents are going to take their kids with them to a bar and if you're in a foreign country you'd probably rather leave them alone than get a babysitter.

Answer 9

What more do you want from these poor people. They made a mistake and will pay for it for the rest of their lives.

I'm old enough to remember going to holiday camps as a child and people always left their children in their chalets with  a 'chalet patrol' checking on them every now and again.

The McCanns didn't leave their children for hours and hours. Whoever abducted Madeleine obviously found a small window of time to kidnap her.

I really do not see why people like you take so much delight in their suffering.

I really hope that you don't regard yourself as a Christian; that would be just too hypocritical.

Answer 10

Come on. What parents haven't left their children alone and asleep? Every parent has done it. Get real.
