So she is at it again!!

[I.Don No]

Kate McCann now thinks it was possibly the clothes that her daughter was wearing that led to her kidnap....according to The Sun.....I know, I know not the most reliable of sources, but please.........

It is about time that this woman faced up to her part in this tragic affair.

And so do I agree with Cazz on this......

horrific and how many of us have left our children alone for a few minutes from time to time, for whatever reason - and don't give me the santamonious holier than though claptrap as I bet most of us have. And we also can be in our houses, but does that mean we know where the blessed sproglets are and what they are up to.....

I am not saying that we have done it for an hour or even condone that - personally I have never done that or even close, however kidnap, or a major incident, can take place in a few minutes and not necessarily an hour - that is the frightening thing.

it was normal when I was a kid, lots of local kids parents used to go to the pub at night and the kids used to mess about outside or wander off, during the holidays the kids used to go out to play, wandering at least a mile away from home. how times change

[sara3]

hands up those of you who have NEVER lost sight of your kids, even for a minute?

did you all blame Jamie Bulger's mother for letting go of his hand? I would hope not.

[Sqad]

The law does not set a minimum age at which children can be left alone. However, it is an offence to leave a child alone when doing so puts him or her at risk.

Is this the same in Portugal?

Surely all parents at some time have left their offspring unattended even for a matter of minutes.

The husband has come to terms with the situation and has moved on...the mother hasn't.

[DEN53]

In all fairness, these are two completely different cases - the McCanns left three under 5's in an unlocked apartment, only checking on them every half an hour - letting go of a child's hand whilst out shopping, to turn around to find him gone, not the same.

[sara3]

was it unlocked?

[Teddy_boy]

Sqad i believe its against the law in Portugal.

[DEN53]

yes, they left the patio doors unlocked in case of a fire in the apartment.

[Sqad]

Teddy....right.

[Teddy_boy]

Within view?With or without binoculars?

[bloomwood]

They will live with what happened that night for ever,I can only imagine the hell they go through everyday,not knowing what has happened to your child must be the worst thing. Am sure the guilt will never leave them. I often think about this little girl and pray she is found safe and well and reunited with her parent's,not sure it will ever happen though.

[craft1948]

Kate McCann can't win ................she's slated for the child going missing, and people think she should now move on!

[tamborine]

There is a strange brown stain unaccounted for.....too late for DNA test. If we feel sick Kate's pain must be torture.

I don't recall seeing anywhere that the property was unlocked, that does surprise me.

[Teddy_boy]

There's a major difference between being sympathetic and from being apologists for negligence which i would call abandonment.

Interesting reading which leaves me in no doubt they were too busy drinking to bother with their children.Leaving a door unlocked so a 3 year old could evacuate baby twins ?Im sure we would all do the same thing. Wouldnt we ?

[DEN53]

it was in the news reports at the time about the patio doors being unlocked, also that they could slip in quietly and check on the children, without using the front door.

[sara3]

is there a link to something re this unlocked door?

The clear view of the apartment from the bar at night.You would need infra red binoculars or even night vision goggles.I suppose people place differnet values on their childrens safety.Some children here are playing in the streets alone well after dark.And theyre around 6 or 7.

[jason.p]

I can't believe how spiteful some of these replies are. Either they have not got children of their own, or they honestly believe they have never left their children at risk themselves. Either way this woman has lost a child which is bad enough, but also has to live with having made a mistake, which any one of us with children will have made at some time or another. To have to listen to this vitriolic bile as well is cruel beyond my understanding.
