    Of course you are, I forgot, you never make a mistake do you?

    It’s the only defense anyone has when they run out of argument. Try sneering and scoffing.

    Neglectful with their child, neglectful with the money raised to find her.

    Careful, they are known to be fairly litigious. They’ve plenty of money for court cases.

    As you have been told numerous times.


    I do. lots of them. Will make many more. It's what parents do.


    Going out wining and dining while leaving your kids alone in an unsecured apartment in a foriegn country is not a mistake.


    It's not what good parents do.


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    The likely scenario for abduction is that someone had to be watching them, yeah? To know the kids were alone and the intervals the parents were checking.

    So why climb in and out a window? If they were watching, surely they knew the door was open?

    Surely now is the time to ask the one and only 'Derek Acorah' what happened, although it won't stand in court, it may help de-mystery the mystery.

    As far as I know there was no evidence to suggest the window had been opened.

    Repeated over 4 nights , which is not one mistake.

    Yea it was a retaining wall.

    Careless or blind to the dangers could apply to the McCanns too.

    its not like maddie got tangled up in a blind cord or ecetricuted by shoving something in a socket(although cannot be rulled out) . something like that would eb a very small risk and easily not spotted by someone .

    leaving 3 toddlers in a strange room where anything could happen, in a strange area with god knows who around, and with the doors unlocked while you were 100+meters aaway . thats not a minor oversight and failure to see a small issue . thats a huge and blatently obvious case of neglect

    No one checked on the kids they just said they did.

    Aaah, you were there then?

    And yet the neighbour said that Maddie was bawling crying for over an hour one of the other nights, and no one came to check on her.

    I havnt read anything about it for years so most info is sketchy. Just watching netflix at the min but in the first part do they not say the window was kept shut and the shutter down the whole time and when kate went in and noticed her gone the window was open. They say the door of the room blew shut on her.

    This is gas.


    Making a reservation at a restaurant is the mistake


    Not the eating and drinking while your kids are left alone....

    And yet when their daughter told them that she woke up and was crying for them the previous night they didn't realise their "mistake" and did the exact same the the following night.. Unreal tbh.

    I agree to a large degree. I wouldn't even dream of doing it myself but good people make crap decisions.

    Sure, It's what she said.


    But in the picture the police took the curtain was pinned behind the bed, kate said the curtains were blowing. How did they blow pinned behind the bed....



    But afaik there was no evidence the window had been opened.

    What time were they given from the time the police arrived and the hotel staff followed soon after by the press?


    Loads, in the days that followed they rented a car and went on journeys unexplained. As far as I remember

    Managed to get this:

    '2. Walking Distance
    If they were walking the distance, they would probably stick to the proper paths which take a more roundabout route. Again, using Google Earth, the distance is calculated as 77.38 metres.'

    But we have been told they weren't alone they were being checked every half hour. I believe Splinter 65 made this claim.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,152 ✭✭✭limnam


    Regardless of how many bloody meteres away it is, when i look at this picture, my heart sinks for the poor girl.


    They may as-well have been a hundred miles away


    awful

    He's not counting the 29 minutes they're alone


    He's counting the few seconds someone checked


    So in theory. Or in _that_ world. They're not alone...:confused::confused::confused:

    Another McCann supporter claimed they weren't alone because they were been checked every half hour. I was going to say you couldn't make this nonsense up, but they have .

    You think it’s ok to leave three kids that far away ? And go for drinks and snacks ?
