Why do they do it?
It's something akin to dogs who will frequently attack their wounded fellows .
Does it make them feel better more self righteous or something?
I think youre right there !

As it is - harsh as it may seem, they are reaping what they sowed.
Mick I think there is a lot of nonsense and unfounded gossip put about by spiteful people and the press, I personally don't believe it.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

It is time they moved on ... looked to their own and their remaining kids future or they will have none to speak of.

Their lives have turned into a highly publicised crusade , or more cynically a career, into finding a daughter who will likely never be found and could well be dead. They were not guiltless in her disappearance.

I pity their other two kids who must see Maddie as some kind of revered shrine in their parents lives. For their sakes it's time to grieve and let go.

Psst .. I have heard their lawyers regularly trawl the web and slap writs on anyone who says anything derogatory about them or insist it is removed. Take care what you say.

I am in agreement with Julie.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

Whether people liked the McCanns or not, surely everybody must feel compassion for them!
Unless you are a perfect parent, who never did anything wrong in regard to how you brought your children up, I would suggest that we could all have found ourselves in a position where a child's well being had been damaged by something we had done wrong. Kids have been abducted whilst playing out or going to the shop for mum. They fall off swings and slides and hurt themselves, because there was nobody there to catch them. We cannot attach children to our sides 24/7 so bad things sometimes happen.... but in the McCann case the person to blame is the one who abducted her!

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

I wonder how much the good people on here would defend a parent from a council estate who'd gone to the pub leaving her kids home alone.

They'd be slaughtered by you, the press and social services.

Just because they're fine, upstanding middle class doctors doesn't make them any less guilty.

Tpin, People from the council estates don't seem to be slaughtered for years after the event with the same regurgitated stuff dragged up again and again.
The McCanns have lost a child, they need compassion, not eternal criticism.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

There has been a unbelievable lack of compassion
It's because they are vewied as arrogant middle class doctors .
And therefore not as deserving .
( in fact both come from working class backgrounds they are kids that made good)
No one accused the grandparents of Sarah Payne of neglect of care or other parents of abducted children .
There were no spiteful implications
On the contrary compassion was abundant .
This is the Internet at its worse giving cowards who would not dream of saying such things face to face to bereaved parents their chance to stick the knife in and twist it against these wretched people who have to go to their graves with this weight upon their hearts .

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

Yes they made a grave mistake which will haunt them for the rest of their lives. In my opinion they are right to continue searching for her. No-one has the right to tell them otherwise. Maddie has a distinctive eye feature which I hope will be recognised by someone some time in the future.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

Hmm, opinions that don't match yours are now the opinions of cowards?

I do have compassion for them, I also have contempt.
