Thread Name: BS: Child neglect and the law
Subject: RE: BS: Child neglect and the law
Christ almighty.

Loads of people who somehow want to feel involved in something that is patently none of their business and has nothing to do with them could see no other way of demonstrating their support than by chucking money at the case. It was not instigated by the McCanns. What that money will actually be used for is a matter of conjecture, by everyone. If these people "make you sick", don't donate to the fund. Stop reading the acres of newsprint. Just let this couple get on with looking for their daughter without being hung, drawn and quartered. This is trial by tabloid, and if there's anything that makes ME sick, it's the nauseating self-righteousness displayed here by people who are greedily feeding on media half-truths like salacious sharks.

If these issues concern you so very much, get down off your high horses and go and donate some time to a charity that looks after neglected children. Then at least you'll be doing something worthwhile, instead of spouting vitriol at two people who have just suffered the worst loss any parent can imagine.

SRS - Comparing these loving parents, who made one daft and irresponsible decision, and who will suffer for it for the rest of their lives, to a woman who willfully killed her children, is about the sickest thing I've heard in a long time. Well done.
