And I thought some of the stupid posts on this thread couldn't be beaten.Originally posted by TheBigD View Post
The concensus of many here is that the McCanns are partly responsible for the abduction, because they left their child in an environment where she was vulnerable. Ergo, the abducter is partly not responsible because the child was already vulnerable.Comment

"vulnerable"? They left her tucked up in bed in her hotel room.
From the way some people here go on, you'd think they'd left her in the hyena cage at the local zoo.Last edited by OwlHoot; 18 October 2013, 10:27.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Exactly. If she'd been left in a hyena cage, she wouldn't have been abducted. So the parents are at fault for leaving her in a hotel room, instead of at the local zoo.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Obviously the hotel's CCTV and security weren't up to scratch, especially as their apartment seemed to be easily accessible from the street.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

It depends on whether the hotel offered a child safety service. If they did then they are probably liable otherwise the parents would be responsible.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostWell there's something in that, seriously.
