.Madeline's parents made a terrible mistake leaving a child alone for which they will spend the rest of their life paying. They do not need the added pain of never-ending gossip.

PS
Anyway, someone somewhere will pull you up for frivolity in a serious thread.
Mind you, as you well know,
I am not averse to a bit of that either.

any sensible parents (and of course the police) would ask the public for help to find a missing child. That is not the same as inviting them to indulge in never ending scurrilous gossip a past time which is eagerly assisted by the gutter press who print anything they can get away with to sell a few newspapers.

I really could not agree more, however, you are not going to believe this, BUT.
There are some who would disagree with our point of view, and if you and I or whoever was being totally frivolous all of the time, in such a serious discussion, then they would have a point.
But like you say, placing something light in a thread where people are having a heated discussion does no harm.
In my opinion.

They have only themselves to blame if a lot of that publicity does not have them coming out of this smelling of roses.
Thank you for correcting my spelling mistake.
Much appreciated.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?
It is easy for us to say, they should let go but we aren't them. They may feel if they give up, that they have let Madeleine down.In the 1980's we occasionally left our children in the chalet in a holiday complex in Majorca and staff listened at the door. We were only a short way away and they would alert you if they heard crying. By today's standards that would be a dreadful thing to do but in those days it was a regular thing for parents wanting to have some time together whilst on holiday.

Re: Should Madeleine McCann's parents accept blame?
I always wonder at the many threads I have seen throughout the years on this subject what sort of people take pleasuring in attacking the afflicted .And afflicted in a terrible way the loss of a child.
It's incomprehensible to me
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?
