    Why are you here discussing it, if you think chat rooms are so bad? that is exactly what is going on here, if you don't mind me saying so. Log out if you feel uncomfortable about free speech.

    Chat rooms are great. Witch hunts are not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. No one is entitled to have that opinion unchallenged.

    Depends on what drugs are used. One particular drug that is used as a sedative is undetectable after 28 days. Just saying.

No need for Fusion reactors to be perfected in 30 years time - just round up all the anti McCanners - similar energy potential to ant-matter - and put them all in a large chamber with display screens with constantly scrolling McCann case theories and trivia and then just harness the heat given off.


    Same could be said for the people that see the McCanns as saints.

    What drug is that and was it found in the McCanns apartment? In fact, was any evidence of sedatives found in the apartment at all?


    I remember there being bogus reports of a syringe being found, but no actual evidence at all.

    Interesting.


    So it's possible they could have been drugged and the testing was done so late the drug had was not detectable.


    So no proof they didn't drug the kids.

    No trace of any drugs were found in the twins within the recognized testing time frame. Just saying.

    No, she is the victim of whoever is responsible for her disappearance.
    The offender in a crime, is the person responsible.
    That's it.

    Diazipene, I'm not suggesting this was used on the twins just pointing out that not all drugs can be detected up to 6 months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭Trekker09


    So, they made a bad judgement and went across the road to a tapas bar for a bite to eat and a couple of glasses of wine with friends. I've seen this loads of times on holiday, even after the Madeleine McCann disappearance.

    They'll live with this for the rest of their lives, and I for one hope they get closure on this one way or the other.

    The twins were tested 5 months after the disappearance as already said by me not all drugs are detectable up to to a multi month timeframe. Again reading comprehension seems to beyond your grasp, but it's ok I have unlimited patience.

    Her parents left her unattended and unprotected so bare some responsibility for her disappearance. Glad we agree.

    That's it.

    So in your opinion who do you think is responsible?

    I bet you will say the abductor. For whom there is no evidence. But the doors were open.

    But anyway, the parents of a child are supposed to be the responsible parents for everything up until the child reaches 18. And I do realise that some kids can go off the rails prior to that.

    But at 3.5 years old and twins of 2 years, well sorry now, but to leave them alone night after night while on the lash is kind of a tad irresponsible. I think most people would agree with me. I think!

    No. Whoever abducted her and killed her is responsible for her death, if she is dead.

    Would they have been able to abduct her( if that is what happened, no evidence though) the night of May 3 if Mummy and Daddy had not left her unprotected?

    We don't agree.
    The person responsible is the person that 'dissapeared ' her. Whoever that may be.
    Parents were irresponsible leaving kids alone, however, they are not to blame for her disappearance because of this.
    The offender is responsible.
    We don't agree.

    But why mention diazepams if they have no relevance to the evidence in the case? Unless there is evidence that there were at least diazepam in the apt then they’re totally irrelevant. A red herring, you might say....

    Her parents left her unprotected, thereby allowing what happened to occur.

    You don't know that. & it doesn't make them responsible.

    If course I know that as the parents admitted they left her alone and they also admitted a door to the apartment was unlocked. Btw there is no evidence of an 'offender'.

    Unless the child wandered off alone & got lost somewhere never to be found, then yes there is an offender.

    Parents protect their children at all costs. Well in my experience anyway.

    It might be that your experience of parenting sub 4 year olds is different. So be it. Nothing I can do to change that.

    Madeline disappeared in May, the twins were tested in September. Results realeased in October of the same year. Just saying.

    Maybe there is no offender. Maybe Madeleine woke up and wandered out sleepily into the night never to be seen of again.
    If not, then someone had removed her and not returned her, contrary to common law.
    This person would be the offender. Ok?

    Tunisia just after Madeleine disappeared was the 1st time. There was a large family at a table near ours who were watching the entertainment and drinking. They asked one of their kids to go check on the baby, even saying that they didn't need the key as the door was open.

    I've seen it in a lot of other countries since then, most recently was last year in the Canaries where it was quite common in the small complex we were staying at.

    So if I allow my child wonder into traffic I'm not responsible if they get hurt but the driver of the vehicle that hits them is to blame. Good to know.

    Yes you mentioned diazepam which has no relevance to the disappeance of M McCann as none was ever found anywhere near her or anyone associated with the case. You were asked if any drugs were found in the apartment. Your answer should have been “no”.

    That depends on the driving of the driver at the time he hits your child.

    Mystery of the century really.

    I am of the opinion that there were people in high places who protected them, did the PR, got the Fund going and minimised the "neglect" of leaving three kids under four on their own for hours on end. And so on.

    Strange really when you think of all the missing children out there right now. But just my opinion.

    Assuming there was an abductor.


    They failed to protect their children. Doing what would be considered by the NSPCC the basics.


    Not leaving them alone.


    They failed Madeline.


    They're partly responsible.

    It was. A few of the families around us also noticed it. The parents were quite jarred up and at no time did either of them go and check the baby.

    Did the driver intend to hit your child? Did he go out of his way to run over your child, or was it an accident?
    If it was an accident, then it is not comparable to the McCann case.
    If, assuming she did not disappear herself, someone was responsible for her disappearance, then it's fairly likely it was done on purpose, correct?
    Not the same situation.
    A victim of a crime is never to blame, & yes her family are also victims in this case.

    My own neighbor was staying for a week in a very nice 4 star hotel in Crete ( she tells this story still 25 years later) and every day the tired the kids a boy and a girl aged 7 and 5 out to the extent where once they’d had their tea and a bath they were collapsing into bed at 7 to fall asleep and not wake until morning allowing my neighbor and her husband to get dolled up quietly and go down to the “posh” restaurant for dinner.
    The husband would pop up to the room between courses to check on them.
    Just tucking into the entree on the 4th night they were utterly mortified to see the porter weaving his way through the candlelit tables with a child by either hand looking shamefaced and wide awake. He’d apprehended them leaving to “go for a walk” right at the front door.

    Bizzare.
