I agree Cashy, if you go on holiday with your kids then they are with you all the time (unless you go with other family members / close friends who may offer to sit for you) I know if I ever get teh chance to go away, and my boys are with me then I will not be leaving them with no siting service no matter how tempting it may be to have an "evening off" im not very big on leaving my kids with someone who I have no idea who they are or of their past etc or their qualifications.

Yes, I do go out without my boys from time to time but when I do go out my boys are either at their dads house, with a family mamber or with a babysitter who is not a stranger to me or my children.

Only once when abroad did I leave my daughter with a child minder supplied by the hotel for a couple of hours, and believe me I wouldnt trust them either. My daughters cot where all broken due to bad maintanance and the childminder asllep on my bed with a glass of wine:mad::mad:
My daughter heartbroken.
Needless to say she was frogmarched down to reception and sacked on the spot. :mad:

I try not to judge, but I do find it difficult to comprehend that two well educated people would leave 3 young children alone even for a short while. What if a fire had broken out in the building?

It still seems very strange

"Maddy"
 

As most of you are aware there has been reports/sightings of madeline.
And it was only this week that new evidence has come to light.
A CCTV video was shown in which a young girl of 3-4 yrs of age was walking around a service station claiming to be called "Maddy" and said "Ive been taken from my holiday".
Now its been over a year since her disapearence and yet still many questions have not been answered.

1.) Why on a group holiday was there not an adult watching the children whilst the others were dining?

2.) Why were there not any witnesses to the "abduction" or why wasnt there any cctv picking up anybody leaving the complex?

3.) why was there blood found in the rental car?

4.) Why Maddie...and not the other children that were in the same room?

There are more, but i feel these ones are the most important.
And another thing, if this was an "abduction", why is "maddy" walking around the service station "freely?" In a typical kidnapping the abductee woudlnt allow his/her prisoner to walk around freely, they would keep them locked up in a car or whatever transportation they had.

theres something very strange about the whole thing, which says to me that MAYBE...just maybe her parents ARE in on this. Maybe madeline knows who her kidnappers are and thats why she didnt scream or kick-off when being taken. Maybe thats why she was allowed to walk around un-attended around the shop because the abducters knew she wouldnt walk off or run or scream or ANYTHING because she knows them.

Anyway, something doesnt add-up, never has done.
And this piece of footage should place the mcCanns back as potential suspects.

But, what do you think???

Theres a full thread on this somewhere Danny

Re: "Maddy"
 

I dont blame the parents at all,,,,have we not ALL at some point done something ,which with hindsight was stupid?

Re: "Maddy"
 

I'm not saying that, ofcourse everybodys done something silly before. But the word irresponsible is abit different than the word "silly", and that is ofcourse if they're innocent and had nothing to do with her disapearence.

Re: "Maddy"
 

There was no blood found in the rental car.. that is a make up by the Express newspaper...and were do you get the information from that the girl.. was walking around in a service station???

Re: "Maddy"
 

There was cctv that showed a little light haired girl, not confirmed to be maddie, very blurred, one of those 'sightings' that cropped up. Was miles away as well I believe, the child was holding the hand of an adult

Re: "Maddy"
 

Don't you think these people..The parents..have suffered enough for leaving the child alone?.. If anyone has evidence that this was a crime commited by them then give it up!..don't rely on the newspapers for gods sake...

Re: "Maddy"
 

Mancie...for the first time ever I agree with you......The media print what they like and get away with it...The parent's of this child are well educated people and don't need the speculation that surrounds this case.
For me, I hope the child is found alive....the sooner the better.

Re: "Maddy"
 

My God, am i agreeing with you again lol

One of the saddest things i have ever seen was driving to work one day soon after Maddie had disappeared, and seeing a procession of cars with the yellow ribbons tied on. Saw on the news later it was the family. My little one is a similar age and this would tear my heart out
