it isn't possible to trapse 10ft behind your kids, keeping an eye on them 24/7. and that is a fact.
There's a difference between trapsing 10ft behind your child 24/7, and leaving them on their own, with no adult, while you go out for a meal, that could last for hours. That's irresponsible, and potentially leathal. You either find some kind of childcare, you take the kids with you, or you dump them with a relative while you go on holiday. No, I'm not a parent, which I realise must be an incredibly hard and largely thankless job, but I would never fucking do what they've done. I'm insulted at the suggestion. I know plenty of parents, of several-child families, who feel the exact same way as I do about them, who would never do that. Especially when it was for something like going to have a meal, not even in an absolute emergency.
I'm sorry, but how stupid have you got to be, to go to a foreign country, where you have no knowledge of (neither the country as a whole nor the area where you're staying), go for a meal and leave all of your children in a hotel that you've never been to before, on their own, for potentially hours? What if one of them had got scissors out of a bag and started stabbing everybody?
It wasn't for five minutes, it could have been for up to two hours. Kids get bored and start looking for things. What kind of parent are you if you're fucking off for an hour or two and leaving no KIND of protection bar a locked door? There is a difference between stalking your child and leaving them with no adults, for a prolonged period of time, at the ages of four and UNDER. They could have banged their head and choked to death on their tongue for fuck's sake -
perhaps they did, and it's entirely their fault.
If you're sitting in a chair at home and they do it in-front of you, it's an accident. If you go to the toilet and it happens, it's an accident. If you're out of the house for up to two hours and it happens, it's your fault. Sorry, but any kind of sympathy they get, I find totally out of order. But you're entitled to your own opinion of them.
if she did die 'accidentally', no sane, educated, normally-functioning parent would try to cover it up! you would be screaming from the heaven's in hysterics and defintely not hatching plans to try and hide the body...
Which is exactly what I said. "No sane, educating, normally functioning parent" might not cover the McCanns - just because they've been in the news for three months, does that mean we know them? They could be fucking loonies. One of them could have taken drugs and thought Madeleine was the devil, it could be one of a million reasons. You'd have to be, in my mind, evil to cover it up. But you don't know these people more than you know someone on this forum.
The stuff about blood being in the car 25 days after the disappearance is coming from several sources, so there's obviously something going on. I would have expected one of them to say "oh I remember, she cut herself on the seatbelt, and the blood dropped on the floor!! DUR!! I'm so forgetful!!"
