The most important thing about all of this is that a small, innocent, child has disappeared - we do not know how or why.
Let us not lose sight of that.

The only person I feel sorry for is Maddie.

She had the right to expect to be protected by her parents, not left alone crying until all hours, as has been reported by locals and staff. If she was "abducted" then they should thank their lucky stars the twins were not also taken.

What amazes me is that GM went to the US, giving a lecture on missing children etc. Who is he to lecture anyone about children. Sorry, but, some people have treated this pair like heroes......There are too many inconsistencies in their stories...I just hope justice is done for Maddie

Compassion is the word needed I feel,none of us are perfect!!!
If they are guilty they deserve any punishment they get,but I still feel sorry for them,and do hope they still find Maddy--call me naive but there are lots of people so quick to judge!!!
I feel they do right to come home as things have got a bit nasty out there.

It appears that the McCanns were given Arguido status as the Portuguese Police were aware that they were to return the the UK

if this had happened to any of us, the S.S would have been involved and the twins would have been taken off us due to "child neglect"

l hope l'm not the one saying harsh words, l am sorry if l am. really sorry, but also saying how l feel. l, like everyone feel there are things that don't add up, and l definately think they should never have left the children in the first place. The blood in the car etc definately makes one think - but l still say innocent until proven guilty - thats just my opinion.
Take care:o)

I think if the P/Police in that area were not so stuck in old ways and were into the 21st century with forensics on how to conduct a disaparence situation then maybe nobody would be clutching at straws now,

It has been stated,,,should the parents need to further legal costs ,these will be met though private means and not the Fund,,,,

Andy Hyslop Report 10 Sep 2007 10:50

i think the fund has gone over the 1 mil mark now...

blimey so many theories lol

i dont think harsh words are needed on this thread either everyone has the right to voice their views ...weve paid our money lol

something went on out there if anything happened to my son andy hyslop whos thread this is btw...i would be totally devastated ...be crying every day

theres blood in the apartment and in the car they hired ...the police know something

and it was quoted in the paper yesterday Gerry stating he was frustrated he couldnt use the 800.00 pounds in the fund ....

i just hope maddie is found either way ..and who ever did it gets whats coming to them...
even if it was an accident two yrs isnt enough

I doubt very much the SS will be talking to them as I should imagin Gerry &Kate will be making provisions for the twins should they ever get re-called and held back in Portugal.....

The court judge in Portugal is yet to look at the evidence collated so far. He/she could, from that evidence, demand they return to Portugal, either way, we have extradition as in EU.

The Police are now resuming their search for Maddie in Praia Da Luiz with sniffer dogs.
I believe they will make an arrest in due course.

If they wanted "normality" for their twins, why did they not return them ages ago?

Will the British SS's be talking to the Mccanns?

Oh my god, if l were them l'd want to get home too - they have family there, her mother especially. The photographers at the airport in Portugal were cruel and so were the police for allowing them to take photo's like that - those poor kids in the back of the car.
If this was a member of your family whom you had always loved and thought very highly of, as always being a good loveing parent and they wanted to go home to be near their family - how do you think you would feel.
l still say innocent until proven guilty.
