PM: To Kate McCaan

They are not. They are simply not judging the Mcanns by saying or implying they deserved what happened as you and the rest of you sanctimonious lot are doing

Drivel!!!

Oh and you can shove that repeated sanctimonious accusation sideways right where the sun doesn't shine.

I don't think anyone has said that they deserved it to happen; I for one would never wish their situation on anyone; but through through their negligent actions they allowed it TO happen. If they had acted differently they could have prevented it.

They are responsible as a result of their negligence for what has happened to a small child who was too young to be left unsupervised.

I don't think that was the reason given for not leaving your kids alone although it obviously is something that can happen. Various other things could happen such as electrical appliances catching fire due to power surges. The kids waking up in an unfamiliar room is another

I can't believe the parents on here that are defending the McCanns for doing what they did.

I see very few people if any defending them, suggesting that they'd do the same.

Friends of mine lost a child to cancer (we all know people that this has happened to). That child was misdiagnosed and could have been saved. they blame themselves for not pushing the NHS harder. If they had acted differently they could have prevented it.

Actually, the abductor is responsible for what happened.

[eek]

Actually, the abducter is responsible for what happened.

Not quite. The abductor (if there was one and Madeline simply didn't just leave the apartment in an attempt to find her parents) is responsible for Madeline going missing.

The McCanns are however responsible for leaving their children alone (which should be a child neglect case) and providing the abductor with an opportunity...

If, in fact, she was abducted.

What exactly are you arguing about here. Whilst the McCanns are victims here they committed a crime which provided the opportunity for a bigger crime to occur (if it ever did).

What happened as a result of their 'crime' shouldn't influence the sentencing for their 'neglect' though... i.e. if they were caught leaving the child alone but nothing bad had happened, they were no more or less in the wrong than if she was abducted due to their actions.

Did they commit a crime under local law?

Since you are trying to align victims with responsibility, as Madeline was the victim in the McCann's case, are you saying she is responsible for her own disappearance?
