Thread Name: BS: Child neglect and the law
Subject: RE: BS: Child neglect and the law
FACT = Ten doctors and their wives went on a holiday as a group and brought their children.

FACT = More than one of these couples left their children under the age of five alone on more than one occasion while they drank and partied into the small hours of the morning in a bar.

FACT = Not one of the other 18 adults (all close friends) remained in Portugal to assist in the search or gave a character reference as to the behaviour of the McCann's. In fact all returned to England and Wales on their scheduled flights without saying a word.

FACT = Kate McCann permitted two cleaners into the apartment before the police arrived and they have confirmed the room in which the children slept was clinically clean.

FACT = Police noted the McCann's twins were difficult to waken.

FACT = The McCann's both returned to Britain to attend a family christening on a day of one the most intensive searches for the child.

FACT = Kate McCann employed the services of both a local beautician and hair stylist throughout her agonising stay in Portugal.

FACT = If a single mother from Bolton had left her child alone and bought a bottle of wine in Asda and popped into a friends house and drank it and on her return found her child was missing there would be a public outcry and rightly so.


This case stank for the first day. The general public were asked to fund their stay in Portugal despite the McCann's joint annual income of 192,000 pounds. They courted the media and celebrities and encouraged thousands of people throughout Europe to search for their child. Am I angry ? Your bloody right I am.

God forbid if your child is abducted in the future, you may find public support and understanding is a little thin on the ground due to the events surrounding this particular case.

I repeat, One of the McCann's knows what happened that poor child which makes them both guilty of the crime. I suspect more than one of the children in that group were given sedation by a parent. Thus the wall of silence by the other members of the group.

As to the comments of support and understanding for the McCann's above, I wait with anticipation to read the comments from the same posters within the next 14 days or so. One thing the British public do not like is being taken for a ride.
