Why is that Mc Cann supporters condone child neglect?

Question

the mc Canns by their own admission have admitted that their was no adult in that flat on the night Maddie disappeared. three kids under four, there is a legal term for that. Oh yes, child neglect. Why do these people think it is alright for people to behave like this?

Answer 1

don't know why but your right , had they not been doctors but a couple of chav types from a council estate they would have been charged or murdered by the British press!

Once again good point

Answer 2

Because thousands of people STILL use babylistening services abroad, and think they're better than the McCanns, because they PAID for the service that checks on children by listening at the door every half an hour. The McCanns checked on their children themselves, and far more regularly than the paid service would have done.

It's STILL legal to use these services, and even here in Cornwall, the big campsites still employ babylisteners. Are the people who use these services any better than the McCanns, just because they PAY someone???

Answer 3

We do not condone it. The mc Canns have been through enough of this self righteous behaviour from people who have never done anything wrong in their lives. If any of you people out there can honestly say that you have never ever done anything wrong,then say so now. The parents need our compassion and support,and I think they should have it by putting an end to all this persecution. Try to put yourself in their shoes and think how devastated they must still feel.

Answer 4

I don't.

Are you saying the PJ 'condone child neclect' as well then, because they don't think the McCanns neglected her either do they?

Answer 5

I completely agree, IT IS NOT acceptable to leave a child in a house while you go out for dinner, it is disgusting BUT i do not think they should be charged with neglect, they have this on their conscience for the rest of their lives, that is punishment enough.

Answer 6

we've been here so many times before, but, the McCann supporters HAVE to condone Child Neglect, how else could they support the McCanns actions on the night Madeleine went *missing*

Answer 7

Not one of us who support the McCans ever said it was alright. Neither did we condone. We just didn't condemn it in the way witch hunters do.

They made a terrible decision. They publicly admitted it & regret it every single second of their lives.

That doesn't give anyone the right to accuse them baselessly of the murder of their Madeleine. Yes, we support their search for Madeleine.

Answer 8

I quite agree with you. No one is to blame but themselves.

Do you think MW has been defending the wrong camp all this time, no wonder he makes no sense.

Answer 9

Because they must be as bad as them. I see Michael w may be talking about a different McCann hes writing about a McCain

Answer 10

Any parent answering this question will give you the same answer, that being they would never leave their children alone while they went down the pub or whatever. That doesn't always turn out to be the case, but people who are found to have done so usually end up in prison.

The Mc Canns are above this or so their arrogant manner would have you think and I am led to believe this was not a one off. GUILTY!

Answer 11

Oh my God, this is OLD news!  

This discussion has been going round and round for months and will never reach a conclusion.  

Does it really matter what we think of Maddie's parents?  It won't help find her.

*SL

Answer 12

This a mystery I hope will be answered when the truth about the lie is revealed...

Edit: No foxy, it's Madeleine that needs our compassion and support, not her arrogant and self seeking parents. Yes I have made many mistakes but I have never left my children alone without round the clock supervision and I don't class wittingly leaving children a mistake, it was a conscious choice that they made night after night, they didn't even have them during the day! so much for a family holiday! No one in their right minds would leave three babies alone for five minutes never mind hours on end. Read the Police report and find out just how lovely and caring the Mc's really are... And only those who deem child neglect as a 'mistake' could put themselves in their shoes...!

Edit: Misty Blue, As for the abduction, what abduction?????

Answer 13

All i can think of is they don't have kids themselves, and fully understand what been a responsible parent is all about.

Or they simply to do it wind responsible parents on here up !!

Answer 14

I don't - but I also don't agree with your definition of what "child neglect" actually is.  I know many children who are neglected and I certainly think they should be prosecuted.

The McCanns judged that their children were safe, they made regular checks, it was a common thing for parents to do in those holiday resorts.  They were unlucky.

The real criminal here is the person who took Madeleine McCann.  Not her grieving parents.

Answer 15

Strange isn't it? That intelligent people can be fooled by the Mccann's. I'm sure that all those posting support for Kate & Gerry would be the first to slate a working class couple for doing exactly the same thing as camp Mccann, "How awful" they would say, "charge them, put the kids in care"

It's a funny old world isn't it?

Answer 16

Is it not a fact that had they employed a baby listening service instead of setting up a rota amongst themselves the children would still have been left alone with no adult and had pretty much a lesser system of checking?Baby sitting listening in has been around for years and is quite legal.I disagree with it as I consider it inadequate and have said so many times.None the less neither constitutes neglect as there has to be an element of willfulness which is not present.Babysitting is a grey area in law that needs tightening up.

Now,what is it that you 'Like'(your strange words)about this case?

They lost a child because someone took her.Why can't you accept that.Remove the abductor from the equation and she would still be around.For goodness sake how can you be so heartless.You are helping that abductor inflict further pain.

Please show where I say I condone it.I stated the facts and reiterated my disagreeing with any kind of baby listening system or service.You're not very good at this are you?

Still supporting the abductor I see.Still not telling us why you 'LIKE' abduction cases either.Breathtaking really.Basically you're saying any abductor who finds a child alone is entitled to snatch them.Unbelievable!

Jayangel:Odd that the McCann detractors would assume that those of us who do not want to add to the McCanns pain would want to do any different with regards to anyone else of any class.We look at the situation as we see it and class doesn't come in to it.Anti McCanns use that feeble argument as an excuse,besides the McCanns come from normal working class backgrounds.The fact you hold that opinion points to you being the class conscious one.

Answer 17

That's 4 questions tonight knocking the McCain's. As for child neglect I can show you cases of real neglect 10 times worse than the McCain's. At least they checked their children every 30 minutes and were less than 5 minutes walk from them . If they had known a predator was in the area I am sure that they would have been even more care full. Its easy to be wise after an event.

How do you know that Maddie is dead.? Only the killer knows that

Answer 18

While I agree with your point, I wouldn't say that those who choose to support the McCanns condone child neglect. I would say that they choose to either ignore the fact that these kids were left in a strange apartment, alone, or that they come away with the standard line of "the poor parents have suffered enough".

As for why do people think it's alright for people to behave like this, I couldn't agree more. One common arguement by the McCann supporters is that people who criticise them have "never made a mistake in their lives". Now, I dont claim to be perfect and I admit that I have made mistakes, I do not have any children yet, but I know I would NEVER, EVER, leave my children alone in a strange room, in a strange country, while I went out for a meal with friends, even if it was only two minutes away. Who knows what can happen in that time? The kids could wake up crying wanting their mum, a fire could start, they could open the door and go for a walk, or in the sad case of Madeline they could disappear...

I feel sorry for the most important person in all of this, Madeline, but not for her parents. Like it or not, they did play a part in her disappearance by leaving her unattended in that apartment in the first place. I don't think that the guilt of this eating them up for the rest of their lives is punishment enough and they should be investigated for neglect. As yecart19710 said, if this was a couple from a working class background they would been thrown in jail by now or eaten up by the press.

Answer 19

I fail to understand how the McCanns have any supporters.

Answer 20

Lets be honest, they've been a bit naughty and did they really check when they said they did ? So much inconsistency in the stories of them and their mates.
