The bottom line is ..
They neglected to take proper care of their kid.
She was abducted... by someone who took advantage of the fact that they neglected their kid.
Not because they were distracted, or had to rush off to deal with some unforeseeable emergency, or Maddy wandered off on a kiddies adventure as kids can do ... but because they were having a pleasant evening with friends.
Ever since then the whole world seems to be divided into two camps over them.
Personally I have much more sympathy for poor parents like those of little Jamie Bulger.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?
I have sympathy for any parent who has lost a child.I don't think that compassionate can be measured .
As Shakespeare put it
'the quality of mercy is not strained.'
But it is people simply dont like the McCanns.
-their faces. their professions or something about them.
In the same way that Lindy Chamberlain was vilified in Australia.
A dingo took her baby but she was convicted and jailed for life with hard labour.
In some ways the cases are eerily similar
Blood was found in her car ( it was rust retardant )
She was convicted and reviled because of her cold demeanor more tn anything else.

If some rat had decided to abduct a child I am sure they would find a way through a hotel door lock, because they managed to get into the apartment where the McCanns were staying. With hindsight, we all know it was a mistake, but it doesn't mean they were evil parents or didn't love their child, it just means that they will suffer more because of that mistake!

Even their fans have to acknowledge they neglected their kid .... the only difference is they make allowances for them because they have suffered for it.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?
I would not describe myself as a fan of the McCannsThey are not a particularly appealing couple .
I would not have left my young children in an unlocked room where anyone could get them.
But they are IMO deserving of compassion.
I don't believe they are complicit in the abduction of their child .
Their child was taken from them .
It seems obvious they were being watched and the child targeted
She was abducted there is really no other way of describing it.
Portugal has long been the haunt of pedophiles
All these facts have come to light because of the McCann case .
Other children have disappeared on the Algave and there have been several attempted abductions.
there was a huge pedophile ring which involved members of the Portuguese government and various well known people.
all these things we know now.
Not before.
