Madeleine McCann #8

There was also the deliberate confusion the McCanns created, if people believed their initial lies then yes some might agree they had done something similar. The McCanns had everyone believing it was akin to dining in your own garden, the apartment had been left secure, regular checks, Kate’s brazen lie about it being a max 30 second walk away etc.
The true circumstances of how they left those children is unfathomably risky to any sane person.

Thousands of messages saying they’ve done the same thing,
What’s done is done.
The guilt in the first few days was difficult.
At worst they were naive.
I switched off after 3 minutes as I couldn’t stomach anymore.

Look at their faces, it is all very measured but they know what they've done - they were careless and neglectful and their daughter paid the ultimate price, and they have to hold their hands up to that in front of everyone.

Truely a million apologies would not be enough, what happened cannot be undone.

Hard agree with this post! The only reason "everything did it" was cus everyone thought they were talking about sitting in the garden whilst the kids were in bed.
I was a teenager and even I knew you don't leave kids alone. I don't know a single person my age who was left alone (80s baby, 90s kid).

Is anyone following the Gus Lamont case? The grandparent under suspicion has given an interview and it is straight from the McCann playbook:

“To be accused of doing something like this… you could not wish a more horrible experience on anyone”

Poor little Gus - your grandchild who has tragically had his life cut short maybe?

That case is dodgy as duck

@Dotty Merton my parents used to do the same when we were 8 and 9! With the promise of a coca cola and packet of crisps when they got back providing we were very quiet and stayed in bed. So of course we were like church mice until they got back
