I agree. I think it's a potentially relevant fact in the investigation and is right to be at least checked out.The paternity of the child involved in an abduction investigation WILL AND DOES get looked into as part of the investigation.
On what basis is it relevant? What is the implication if the children aren’t biologically theirs?I agree. I think it's a potentially relevant fact in the investigation and is right to be at least checked out.
That's not what you said though. Your post implied that if they were donated egg / sperm or adopted their parents were likely to abuse them which is ridiculous and as an adopted child (im now an adult obvs) offensive.The paternity of the child involved in an abduction investigation WILL AND DOES get looked into as part of the investigation.
Because potentially one of the parents struggled to bond with the child, knowing they were not biologically related.On what basis is it relevant? What is the implication if the children aren’t biologically theirs?
No that is not what my post implied at all. I’ve already clarified what I meant. Read my posts.That's not what you said though. Your post implied that if they were donated egg / sperm or adopted their parents were likely to abuse them which is ridiculous and as an adopted child (im now an adult obvs) offensive.
Obviously if you're talking about step parents that's different but please learn the difference.
Step parents are irrelevant in this case though?
Back to the thread...
Jesus Christ. Have a look into the psychology behind child abuse where there is no biological connection between abuser and child. If a child is murdered/abducted/abused etc the biological paternity of that child will be looked into as part of the investigation. It’s standard practice in that type of investigation. No one is suggesting that all non biological children are at risk of abuse but in cases where children are abused/murdered etc the paternity DOES form part of the investigation. In the same way all aspects of the child’s upbringing are looked into.On what basis is it relevant? What is the implication if the children aren’t biologically theirs?
So it’s been done and nothing came of it if it’s standard practice. It’s standard practice in that type of investigation.
This wasn’t a case in which a child had been abused or murdered though. It was a case in which a child disappeared, according to her parents. There has been internet chat for years about possible abuse, but in terms of the actual evidence that is all speculation, and very different to the actual case that was being investigated.No one is suggesting that all non biological children are at risk of abuse but in cases where children are abused/murdered etc the paternity DOES form part of the investigation. In the same way all aspects of the child’s upbringing are looked into.
Madeleine looked quite similar to her parents. I once saw a picture of Gerry‘s brother, and weirdly as genetics work, Madeleine looked extremely similar to her uncle. For me, there’s no doubt in them being related. The other possibility would be the brother being the sperm donor. (Not suggesting this is what happened.)I seem to recall that the McCanns threatened to sue, or did sue, a paper that published a story that a sperm donor was used. That was very early on, I think. It seemed like a very weird thing for two parents with a missing child to care about at the time. Looking back that was probably the first indication of how obsessed with PR and how litigious they would prove to be.

But is this an abduction investigation?The paternity of the child involved in an abduction investigation WILL AND DOES get looked into as part of the investigation.
If that were the case though it still shows they were cold calculating people who not only carried on pretending and even accusing others, but milked a little girl's death for many years.From what people have said on here, which I know is theory and not fact, about Kate struggling it sounds like Kate was suffering from a form of PND or the like. 3 toddlers in a short space of time is alot and will test the most patient of people and if they struggled to conceive, used ivf etc I cam imagine the comedown of imagining what parenthood is like and actually living it would be quite big. It would tie in with the accidental death theory if Kate was struggling with motherhood and say, lashed out.
It doesn't. It doesn't explain anything and like everything in her disappearance, raises more questions than answers.If that were the case though it still shows they were cold calculating people who not only carried on pretending and even accusing others, but milked a little girl's death for many years.
This also does not explain why so many important people helped them, and why no more evidence was found or why what was found was not acted upon but was dismissed.
Isn’t this even a conspiracy theory, she just never really existed.It doesn't. It doesn't explain anything and like everything in her disappearance, raises more questions than answers.
The amount of time stories are rolled out about her in a "nothing to see here, look over there" fashion i could be persuaded that she never even existed.
Yeah cuz they couldn't find her dna anywhere ... like she was never there.Isn’t this even a conspiracy theory, she just never really existed.
I always thought it strange that they said Madeleine didn’t have her own toothbrush on holiday, she shared with the twins, so they couldn’t provide DNA!They tested the blood and the results showed it was a child of Kate and Gerry (squashing the rumours of donor sperm/egg) but wasn’t either of the twins blood. There wasn’t enough markers present in the blood to prosecute, but enough dna to confirm it to be a child of the mccanns. It was enough proof for Portugal, but not the U.K hence why they were considered suspects and fled home where they were safe from prison. The markers were destroyed by the use of bleach in the apartment in an attempt to wash away the blood. They had to go home and bring back madeleines pillow case for the initial dna sample as there wasn’t a trace of her existence being in that hotel room, other than the blood.
