protection for the mccanns
What the heck did the Maccanns have police protection for? I read the police are withdrawing and they are having panic buttons installed instead. What are they being protected from? What are they frightened of? Why have THEY got protection when I've never heard of anyone else given this privilage. What are other opinions?

The whole set-up seems rather odd though. If they want everyone to concentrate on finding Madeleine - why do they keep thusting themselves to the fore with daily reports from their various spokesmen? fore the "not sure what happened" amongst us, it seem like they are digging a deeper and deeper hole to fall into.
Stay quiet but keep searching I say !

Whilst my personal jury is still out over the guilt or otherwise of the McCanns (and I'll own, there's something very unstraighforward about this case), maybe I can set your mind at rest over this.
We drove past the end of their close last weekend, and the only evidence of a police presence was one uniformed copper standing at the end of the road, talking to a press photographer - who was also the only one of his kind that I could see. It was Sunday morning, so I guess this good catholic family would be out and about at that point and game for the press. Yet there was no-one else about, anywhere, other than regular villagers going about their regular business - and even that was in the village centre, about a mile away from where the family actually live.

Maybe they are aware of some of the threats and vile accusations that have been made from nutters on forums such as this, and fear that someone will do something stupid. there are alot of nutters out there.
The McCanns are well that they did wrong in leaving the children on their own was the wrong thing to do. What greater punishment could you give them than what they have already received?
There was a case of a child being abducted from a tent a few years ago. the parents were in the house asleep. the tent was in the garden. Were these parents negligent?
Whilst we are on the subject , at what age is it safe to let your kids out to play without parental supervision? Most children that are abducted are very young, Sarah Payne was only 6 years old. Jamie Bulger was 3 years old when he wandered off from his mother in a shopping centre. Was his mother negligent. I am not saying that she was, I am just asking where do you draw the line. Of course there is alot the McCanns know and are not saying. I am sure there is a lot they would dearly love to say, but under Portugese law they are NOT ALLOWED to say anything. Why can people not see that? We are so used to the police here being very open about things particularly when a child goes missing . The police here rely on public help, they do publuc appeals. If aparent loses a child here the police handle all the publicity etc. The parents are confident that the police are doing all they can. Please remember that the McCanns had none of that police back up in Portugal. It is all done covertly and this has led to a lot of the IMO suspicion. we are not used to this and neither are the media. In the absence of truth they have invented a hell of a lot. With so many different allegations,rumours being printed and reported day after day, who knows what is truth and what is not? No ordinary member of the public that is for sure. It is like a giant game of chinese whispers.
