Nice.

Which continent exactly though? North or South? And where is this "continental jail" which houses parents of abducted children on the say-so of a few red-top reading Neanderthals?

The British and Portuguese police came to the conclusion that there was no abduction from the apartment.

Two specialist sniffer dogs from the UK made reports of blood and cadaver scents in the apartment and hire car.

The cop in charge of the investigation is convinced the child was killed in the apartment.

The investigation hit a stonewall because the McCanns whipped up a huge media frenzy. Within an hour of the child's ''disappearance'' the British media knew about it. The Portuguese authorities had asked them not to contact the media. Gordon Brown got involved. Gerry McCann phoned him nine times. They had an audience with the Pope. Big names, such as Richard Branson, donated alot of money. Newspapers ran 'Find Maddie' campaigns. The home office put pressure on the Portuguese with result the cop running the investigation was removed.

So much more just doesn't add up.
Jane Tanner gave a description of the abductor as a Caucasian male, short brown hair, about 170cm tall, beige pants and a dark top carrying a blanket. Which matched the description of a man a passing couple had seen walking away from the complex. They thought nothing of it at the time. When the male of this couple saw Gerry McCann getting of a flight he was convinced it was him that he'd seen that night walking away with something wrapped in a blanket. Upon hearing this Jane Tanner's description of the abductor totally changed. She then claimed she'd seen a Mediterranean male, dark skin, long black hair and a mustache carrying a girl wearing pyjamas. Jane Tanner's sighting is the only evidence of an abduction.

These are not the ignorant half arsed theories of an amateur internet pesonality or a red top reading Neanderthal. These are facts.

As a parent of two children I don't claim to be perfect. I don't think anybody else who has commented here would claim to be perfect either. True we all make mistakes. And yes I have ended up in A+E from time to time with one or other of my kids. And had a few other scares. I have left them with people I trust. The important thing is, I have never knowingly left them alone whilst on holiday in a strange building in strange country.

No-one has ever had that heart stopping moment of panic when they realise they're not entirely sure where there child is (only to find them asleep behind the sofa). No one has caught their child with the bleach/a knife/something inappropriate in their hand.

It's only when we have to face the consequences of our actions do we truly appraise how negligent we might have been. Much as I'd love to climb on my high horse and join you all in the condemning of the McCanns, I can't, because I know that I've made parenting mistakes in the past, as I'm sure that you all have. There but for the grace of god go I.

It's not realistic to assume that a paedo will take your kids as soon as you blink. Statistically, you're probably putting your kids at more risk when leaving them in the care of a "trusted" adult than leaving them to sleep whilst you eat out at a resort cafe 100 yards away, but would you condemn a friend who's child got nonced by their swimming coach? Would you be telling all that "they should be locked up for leaving their kids with a kiddy fiddler"? Of course not. Likewise, you wouldn't call for the lynching of any parent who let their child play on the local football field 200 yards from their house.

The McCanns made a hideous error of judgement, which only became apparent once the price had been paid. But don't let that get in the way of finger pointing and assumptions made from your pedestal of perfect parenting.

We'll probably never know what happened. That's no excuse to fill in the blanks with sensationalist claims, accusations and ignorant half arsed theories. Either the parents did it, in which case they're laughing and don't give a f**k about amateur internet personalities accusing them, or they didn't, and you're pouring vinegar into what I'm sure is a very painful and sore wound, for your own pleasure.

The police in charge of the case had access to far more information than any of us, and they focussed their investigations on the parents. If they couldn't find evidence that the parents did it, I won't rely on my "intuition" to cast aspersions or accuse, even if it does make good reading for the moronic masses.

Pretty sure everyone who shared a view on it , would never leave there kids in a strange apartment in a strange country to go for a meal .


And then if any of us did , pretty sure we wouldn't write a book and then sell our story to a red top for a few extra quid .

Mrs McCann, Ok let me get ready...

How on earth can you do that 2 your kids??? They should be in jail and the keys tossed away...

While I don't know all the facts and statements what I DO know is that you take your kids with you, wherever you go. If they get tired either put them in the pram or simply go home. You can have a few beers/wine etc on the balcony/patio with the kids in earshot.

Tucking them up in bed, then pogging off for a meal while they are left alone is wrong. Plain and simple imho.

They did, and now face every parents worst nightmare.
