Madeleine

[les middy]

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann will not take legal action over a series of alleged smears against them in the Portuguese media, a family spokeswoman has said.[/b]

 

I wonder why

 

if they have been slandered you would think thats the first thing on their minds to show they have nothing to hide

 

and as for the money it stinks, it was donated to help publicize maddie. not have an extended holiday on us

What I find sad is so many people who know squat about any of this are more or less accussing the parents of doing something majorly wrong It's a total non story hyped up by the press and worsened by people discussing it all the time. Kids get abducted and murdered on a daily basis and to home in on one specific case is I think just sick. Put yourselves in their shoes and ask yourself what you're reactions to all this would be ? Could you perhaps imagine all the media interest might make your behaviour become a little 'odd' ?

It's hardly surprising Rob.

I've never known a case where the family have gone to such lengths to keep people talking about it.

They want to keep it in the press and in peoples minds, with such an on going campaign, there are bound to be some who question their motives.

 

I've stayed off this thread, because I don't really want to comment on the tragedy.

But I can't help thinking that something about the case, just doesn't seem quite right.

DavyR - You read it right. That trip to the USA? I'll bet you a pound to a pinch of sh1t, that the fare and expenses came out of that fund!

I reckon you may be correct kleinboet.

The MAJOR thing that they did wrong was to leave her in the room while they enjoyed a night out! I find that very odd!

Your right something is not right a little girl is missing and probably dead. I have said before that I believe the parents are not guilty of the murder if that's what it is. They are guilty of neglect however, and that is something they will have to live with.

From what I have seen of the parents, their body language...everything tells me they are not responsible for the abduction / murder of their little girl. What motive would they have anyway? One theory is that they have covered up a terrible accident, that is more plausible, but I still think that the parents are innocent, if not then rarely has their been a more callous crime.

Time to think again, mine and others who had sever doubts about this case seem to be gathering more support as Kate McCann is made an Official Suspect.

The plot thickens, methinks.
