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




    It is if you book all the nights you do it in advance and file it under 1 mistake.

    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 .

    Reconstruction would have torn that musical chairs nonsense up

    Only in foreign countries that have lax rules on such things, I won't recommend doing it at home.

    I get cross when the wife lets the 30 month old eat in the telly room when she is in the kitchen next to it.

    The thing is the Portuguese find that behaviour strange and consideration was given to charging the McCanns with abandonment.

    They ran home to the UK I think

    They said they would do it

    Like they said they would take a lie detector

    No , and I've always said that I didn't agree with what they did.

    But you insisted it was half a mile, you called me delusional:

    It’s 900 paces door to door I’ll link tomorrow but you are delusional and I’ll informed saying its not

    Your credibility with facts is well dodgy now

    Exactly

    Never happened

    If we have an accident in work, we have a reconstruction, it's standard protocol.

    Sure why would you hang around doing things to help in finding your abducted child.

    I’m looking to see what you think is acceptable ! By exaggerating I get closer to the truth.

    Indeed

    They don't like pedantic pants.



    Unless they fit them.

    This from the person who thinks leaving ones children alone four nights in a row counts as only one mistake. Do you actually think before you post?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭Trekker09

    I don't think any distance away from the apartment is acceptable. What part of that is hard to understand?

    I just like to look at the whole picture and not crucify 2 parents that have gone, and are still going through hell, even though I disagree with them leaving the kids on their own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭Mike9832

    True

    Plenty of times I went into the kitchen for a minute and came back to find my 2 year old climbing on the couch or on the window sill looking for the garbage truck :)

    2 years olds are mad and find danger everywhere

    They left them and went drinking wine/eating, crazy stuff

    The mistake was making the decision in the first place. In my view it was never a good decision and I still can't fathom what they were thinking as a group when they made that decision.

    They were there for just over 6 months, before they returned to the UK.

    They did wrong in your eyes but because they loved their daughter they should’nt be punished ?

    Alone for 30 minutes between checks if we are to believe their story

    Do you believe they did wrong
    Do you believe they should be punished for the wrong (if they did wrong )

    Nope, they left on the 9th of September .

    I was more referring to the things they refused to do, rather than the time they did it in.

    Alot of professionals and upper class have kids, just to have kids in my experience, they would rather do anything but spend time with them, hence kids spent the whole time in the kiddies club and went straight to bed every evening.

    They gave them breakfast, shipped out the door to the kiddies club, bath, supper, into bed, party time

    They are punished every morning they wake up.

    One thought that just occurred to me after watching three episodes of the netflix documentary tonight. It says that kate ran back to the group to tell them that Madeleine had been taken. There's no mention about where the twins were at this point. I'm not a parent myself, but did she bring the twins with her when she ran back down to the group to tell them? It doesn't mention them, which to me leads me to believe that she left them in the room despite knowing that there had been an abductor in the room with them moments earlier? Is she claiming that she left the window and shutter open with the twins in their travel cots while she ran down to the group?

    I would like to leave my son alone for thirty minutes in the posters house . I’m sure the house will be ok.
