The case is reaching a difficult stage. The parents are now having to consider the needs of their other children and are considering coming home. The Portugese Press is increasingly hostile.
There are so many unanswered questions. As a mother the thought of leaving from what should have been a happy holiday without one of my children is unbearable. My thoughts are with the Mc Cann family and I hope their uncertainty is soon resolved. Even if it is with a sad answer. |

To be honest it's sad but I have no sympathy for the McCanns at all, If they had considered the needs of their children in the first place then they would never of been in this situation. It wouldnt suprise me at all if it turns out that they have had something to do with it in the first place

And being such a sanctimonious bleeding heart is annoying, Bev! The whole topic has already been done to death (we're now on page 4!) ... |

The English newspapers are full of claims and counter claims.
There has been DNA evidence collected from their hire car suggesting that Maddies body has been in the car. Yet some scientists say its possible for DNA to transfer from person to object to object. Eg from Maddy to a toy to the car.
The family have flown home today. I hope they still receive support and peace from their local village community.
The truth is that the Portugese police work in a different manner to the British police. They dont share information with the media. This leaves it wide open for lots of speculation.
My instinct is that the parents are innocent.
The police seem convinced that Maddy is dead and SEEM to have stopped looking for her. 
It is all very sad.
I hope her body is found soon and an arrest is made soon. Then this will put an end to the speculation.
Whilst so much emphasis in the papers is on this one case, many families are loosing their sons and fathes, mothers and daughters in Afganistan and Iraq. THIS should be the headline news. We are becoming desensitised to the roll call of the dead. |

Hello, can I remind you that at the beginning of this thread which you started you were banging on about how important it was to keep the case in the spotlight and finally you're looking at the bigger picture (as previously advised by myself at the beginning of this whole discussion thread - see below!). So not only do you seem to go round in circles in your own personal life but also in everything else???!!!

The way the McCanns were handling the whole thing was distasteful from the beginning. With the help of a staff of PR professionals they turned the loss of their daughter into a shrieking media event. Very American, and simply too much. This enormous overdoing made me suspect that they could be guilty.
Fleeing to UK now looks like a confession of guilt. Of course the UK tabloids might see it different.
But even if they are innocent: They seem to be both heavyly egotistic. And what do you think about parents, both doctors, who give tranquilizers to their babies? If this is really true, they should go to prison. |

I agree the family invited the media in, to get them on side to find their daughter.
There is so much speculation in the papers, the sooner the case is tried in a court and we hear the evidence, rather than the heresay specualtion, the better.
I think when a child goes missing it is always very shocking and we should all be concerned.
But there does have to be some perspective........ The world keeps turning and other tragedies happen. |

I still think they are innocent. But what do people think about the portugese police? Is there anything that can be done to keep her name alive?
Part of me thinks she must be dead, but part of me doesnt want to give up on a child.
If any of you are travelling in Europe or North Africa please be very vigilant. JUST IN CASE SHE IS STILL ALIVE.
Until the police produce a body there is some sort of hope. |

What type of parents sedate their children on a regular basis so they can go out and enjoy themselves or have a break? The Mac canns behavior has been weird from the start they courted the media and now its the media who are doing the detective work and pulling their story to shreds. The investigations seems to be on them , and the more they ramble the more they reveal themselves. Administering drugs to a child to shut them up is abuse. Cynically, I believe Maddy's case was whipped up as a major story to distract the British public when Blair stepped down. Unfortunately the suspicious disappearance of Maddy and the issue millions of children who go missing around the world pilots have been overshadowed by the Macanns attention seeking behavior. If Maddy had gone missing in Britain the twins would probably be in care of the social services or on the child protection register, and the Macanns would probably be on bail. If the sedation allegations had come to light.
Most people are sick and tired of the Macann parents and just want to hear some quality news in Britain for a change instead of this propaganda of information known as distraction from all the other news stories out in that big world of ours.

What evidence do you have that they sedated their children? Is it evidence or heresay?
I have known of doctors medicating their own children for their convienence, such as on long haul flights and I totally dont approve of it. Drugs should only be given to minors if it is absolutely essentail.
Alot of what is reported in Portugal is then transferred and reported in uk as fact. It isnt fact, it is specualtion.
Imagine being a mother who's child goes missing on holiday. Then imagine being a suspect. It is every parents worst nightmare.

As a mother of cause I would feel as the bottom had fallen out of my world. I would be frantic to find my child. I would be in a utter mess. From this quick brainstorm you can see I would be emotional to say the least. kate Mcann has shown none, she seems sedated herself or as cold as a fish. All the press coverage I've seen has shown her to be cold. The balatant disrespect for the Portuguese legal system and it's law is bigotry on behalf of the British press. If Maddy went messing in Britain the parents wouldn't of received as much coverage as they have been getting. Bev as you are probably aware children vanish in Britain everyday others are kidnapped on holiday and we hear absolutely nothing about them. This case has been getting unprecedented media coverage at a time when other new i.e war, interest rates, immigration , other world events and other news is deliberately being kept from the British people. Have you ever asked the question why? Is Maddy disappearance more important than Blair stepping down as Prime minister, or the death count of Iraqi's in Iraq or positive developments happening elsewhere etc.
Of course Maddy is important as a human as we all are. But really unless she is found it is better for the media to let this story develop more before reporting on it. Also Bev there have been many cases of mothers being suspects and have been eventually found guilty of murdering their child. Is this unbelievable because Kate went to see the Pope or visited church? Of course She may also be innocent and of course this will be a bitter pill for her to swallow. Just maybe the Macanns should follow this adage " the least said soonest mended" because the more they court the media the more they seem they have something to hide. Then there is another saying give some enough rope and they will hang themselves.
