Europe is geared for children and parents, look how many families are out at night.

If you don't want your kids with you then organise a babysitter.
Yes TPin.
Get a babysitter?
Now why didn't think of that?

And if you cant get one, take the child with you.
Or stay in, holiday or no holiday.

I can only agree with everything you say there May, but my intention when starting this thread was not to start world war three.

The article as per thread start was in the Daily Mail, and I thought it was worth a discussion.
I didn't expect this vitriol though from some I regard as friends, and still do.
But now I am sorry I started the thread.
What with the nasty personal comments which are going on around here.

I would NOT want to see the thread closed though.

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.
A very good post Morti, and I agree with every word, particularly what you say in bold there.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?

have only read a page back but assuming this discussion is as a result of Katie Hopkins column in the Daily Mail.

personally I would never have left 3 small children alone in a strange room in a strange country and I know a lot of people feel the same.

I have to say I agree with most Of what KH has written and I don't think it was a good idea for them to refuse to answer so many of the questions put to 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.
As I said ... they went on holiday with 3 children and came home with two because they didn't make proper childcare arrangements whilst they went out for an evening with friends.

You know what Morti.
In just a few very wise words there you have this subject covered. Spot on, and nobody can possibly argue with you on that point.

PS.
Muddly.
I am very pleased to inform you that you are now on my ignore list.
I don't suffer fools gladly.

Cheers.

Did you read what she said to me then Arti?
Or doesn't that matter?
A moron is a moron no matter what sex they are.
Bye the way.
I don't see your reply as I will now go and carry out your request.

So would I Twink its every parents nightmare .
And to know that they have some fault -and they know this well -must make their anguish all the more excruciating
There is no need for other people to rub salt into a wound which will never heal .
