That poor family.
i see the media is ready to try and convict another set of parents. i wish the police would keep their theories and speculations to themselves in cases such as this, until they feel they have a solid case. what if they are wrong? regardless these people will be dodging insults and death threats for the rest of their lives, guitly or not.

Absolutely
Well, they did leave a toddler alone, in a foreign place while they went out to be with their friends. There's a lot that's suspect about the case, such as DNA being found in the car three weeks after Maddie went missing.
I'm not saying the parents were involved, but it is a possibility and it absolutely has to be explored.

I do feel sympathy for the parents, but it's definitely marred by the frustration I feel towards them for leaving their children alone in the first place 😬
I agree; it's also one of the reasons why I think it is highly plausible they had something to do with the child's death, be it accidental or intentional.
Regardless though, as stated above, the police should keep their investigation sealed from the public, until they have concrete proof, in regards to the parents.
The police should keep those possibilities to themselves or else it is just slander and prejudices the possiblity of a fair trial.
They cannot prove anything- that is the whole point. So letting stuff like that out is just shit-stirring. And it's not just the media running with theories- the police have been intentionally leaking it.
The Portuguese police are being continuously embarrassed here.

The police have been shit, but it doesn't absolve the media of sensationalist behaviour.
I don't agree with the view that the papers are just innocently commenting on the police's idiocy.

Nah, she's just the only one the media cares about. Kind of expected considering her parents keep on pushing to keep this retarded 'search' on and added that their middle-high class background it's almost expected.

It breaks my heart that someone so innocent was either killed or kidnapped.
But..
I feel no compassion towards the McCanns. They went on a family holiday and abandonded their children so they could have a meal with thier friends.
And it wasnt for just the one odd occassion. The police were told by neighbours that they left those children alone most nights. That they could hear little Maddie crying for her father but no one came.
Why have children just to abandon them.

No, that's not what I said they were doing. You are saying the sensationalism is the media's fault- but you cannot absolve the police for that because, as I say, they deliberately leaked such sensationalist ideas to the press.
I am also highly unconvinced by this moral attack on the McCanns for leaving their kids alone. They were about fifty feet away and being checked every hour. I reckon the majority of parents do that at least semi-regularly.
It is rampant paranoia to say that parents must attach themselves 24/7 to their kids.

I agree totally. You don't need to check kids every hour. Most parents don't. he fact the McCanns and friends were speaks volumes.

No.
They need to accept the fact that their child is dead, well... dead or being currently used by sick people for their own perverse needs.
They also need to accept that it is largely their fault. No intelligent person (especially people such as themselves) would allow a child of 4-5 on their own. I don't care if they were 'looking back every hour or so' that's bullshit. None of this would of happened if they had the common sense to either...
A. Take the kid/s with them
B. Hire a baby-sitter.
Rarely does a predatory attack when there is a visible presence whom can identify them .
The papers mollycoddle them because they know if they don't they will anger a large amount of readers. The police want them gone and this thing over with because it reveals how truly inept they are. Everyone wants this sordid mess to be over with save for the parents who keep on pushing .
