Madeleine McCann: When Waiters Attack, Kate McCann Childcare Inc. And Feudal Powers
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – ‘McCANNS OR A FRIEND MUST BE TO BLAME’. Tapas bar waiter’s astonishing attack”
Jose Batista served the McCanns and party on that night Madeleine disappeared. “I did not think she had been taken by an abductor,” says he. “I told them [the police] it had to be one of the family or a friend. It had to be someone close”
Mr Batista is a “crucial eyewitness”
Page 4: “Nanny would have cost just £10” – Batista is standing with his “partner” Maria Fernandes, who also works at the Ocean Club complex. She does not speak. She smiles for the camera. Why is she there? They are holding hands. He says the Tapas 9 did check on their children regularly: “I know that because I often took food to the table and found one of them not there. I would take it back to the table to heat it up. But it was always the men who went to check never the women.” Apart from the time Kate McCann went to check. So not always the men. Jose thought that strange. Why?
Says he: “They left heir children alone. If I had been in that position I certainly wouldn’t have done that.” Maria smiles
“Kate may be a child carer after ruling out GP work” – But would she make living at it?
THE SUN front page: “MADDIE EXCLUSIVE: WHAT WAITERS SAW. Kate left kids alone 3 hours a night”
It’s Jose Baptista, not to be confused with the Express’s Jose Batista, even if this waiter does look very similar and is seen holding hands with his “wife”, also called Maria
Pages 4 and 5: “The men normally checked on kids..Kate only went that one night”
Kate and Gerry are “doctors”. Says Jose: “They left their children alone for up to three hours every night.” Apart from when they all went out as family, with the “cranky” children
Maria speaks: “I definitely remember Madeleine. She was like a little angel, very quiet and good as gold. Just a lovely little blonde girl.” Blonde, you say?
“CAREER PLANS STILL ON HOLD”
DAILY STAR page 7: “holiday waiter describes horror night girl vanished – MADDIE: ‘ONLY PARENTS OR PALS COULD HAVE DONE IT’” – Jose Batista says…
“Kate wants job in child care”
DAILY MAIL front page: “I want to work in child care says Maddie’s mother”
Page 7: “Kate McCann ‘wants a job in child welfare’” – So it is “claimed”. So she ahs “told friends”
“FRIENDS ‘SHARED EIGHT BOTTLES OF WINE A NIGHT’” – Says Jose Baptista. Yes, eight bottles between nine Britons. On holiday. In the sun. Indeed, is that all?
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 9: “Madeleine’s mother ‘to as GP for a child welfare job’”
“One possibility is that she will set up a charity to raise awareness of the extent of child abductions across Europe, and help parents and children who suffer such an ordeal”
Fernando Jose Pinto Montiero, Portugal’s attorney general, says the country’s Ministerio Publico, likened to the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, is a “feudal power”
THE INDEPENDENT, THE GUARDIAN, THE TIMES and DAILY MIRROR: No Madeleine news today

1114 Stevo Says:
I know you’ve said this numerous times but I feel they should have charges and a trial even if only to give them a suspended sentence as a deterrent to other parents Edit……
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If it was purely and simply an abduction that ever came to trial, I should think the trial itself would offer enough public embarrassment to the parents. That said, I can understand the role that having a trial re neglect with any charges suspended could play. An issue arises with this however because as many better informed people have commented, the McCann’s Baby Listening Service ™ probably doesn’t constitute neglect in the strictly legal sense. It’s just a bloody stupid service for any caring parent to ever consider using… In my opinion.

so what if madeleines been in that guy’s house? The mc canns befriended him. He lives with his mother for gods sakes. the mc cann camp are pleased because its a very weak possibility to defend their ilogical thoughts. I’ve had other peoples kids here, does that mean if they die im responsible? I think not.

Andrew
- 1126, thank you
- your son, best wishes for a speedy recovery
- 1173 I am very posh and I suppose that I consider myself to be ‘above’ garbage men (whatever ‘above’ means) but my family and I have always taken our own stuff down to the tip. Mind you, I’ve never been to a Portuguese tip, I might be well and truly above that
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:11 pm
Andrew if you want to put forward a theory go ahead and I am sure people will either agree or disagree.However , to be honest how can you expect anyone to tak you seriously when you post a blog like 1204?
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:09 pm

Ref Murat link to translation of Portugese press
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53176&page=6
Soothsayer said reintroduction of Murat as suspect is a red herring and he seems to know! Trannyfattyacids blogg also discusses theories about Murat.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:09 pm
Brian, of Brians Dreams, thinks Murat is actually the guilty party. Why would McCanns have asked for Murat’s help? They obviously did not know him well. As Maria pointed out, what did Gerry do, flag down some barely-an-acquaintance and ask him to help cover up a child’s death? WHY in the world would he do that? If there is evidence of Madeleine in Murat’s house, there’s something else going on here.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:07 pm
pink, you’re sad. not only are you sad, but you inflame decent logical factual conversation with your crap
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:06 pm
No one rescues the kids the house is engulfed - just like that.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:06 pm
1192 Pinko…
Again, evolution in action! You are stupid enough to kill your kids, to which the universe cries: “good!”
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:06 pm
it seeem, police suspect, that Murat helped the Mcanns to hide the body and hid it in his house
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:06 pm
Oooh, here was a recent one. Here is a real story:
Mom had her two kids in the back of the car. Rural area, very small town. Drove a block down the road to her landlord’s house to deliver the rent. Left car running in driveway. Knocked on the landlord’s door, handed over the check, not more than 30 seconds small talk. Turned around. Her daughter had stuck her head out the back window of the car and her son had pressed the button that automatically rolls up the car windows. Daughter died of brain injury.

Why don’t the mc canns go on TV and say “we were so wrong, we are guilty, please don’t leave your kids unattended while you go getting drunk, look what happened to us.. we are distraught” no, they don’t because they are megalomaniacs narcissists control freaks, weirdos and freaks. pinkpanther you’re weird

We can’t access the link. Give us a good link!

1192 - i guess you will stand there watching while your neighbour tried to rescue your kids!
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:05 pm
One of the British papers (Express?? Mail??? do not remember…) says the same… The Sun, I remember now. Tbhe titles says_ Maddie was in Murat’s house
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:05 pm
More on 1192
Am I then guilty of murder or even child neglect or child abandonment?
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:04 pm
See my post 1151. I have read this morning in 24 Horas that police have found evidences of DNA, fluids, in Murat house. Police, however, dont know if Maddie was alive or death… but she was in his home
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:04 pm
thanks stevo. enjoy. peace
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:04 pm
I think most here just want the McCanns to be guilty and very guilty and probably even hanged for leaving the children while they ate dinner……….well, whatever floats your boat!
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:03 pm
do you go to resue them 1192? or are you too busy
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:03 pm
grub’s up here so catch you guys later…Cheers.
Good luck with your son Andrew.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:02 pm
They are guilty of leaving their children alone the rest of the story, if there is one, is simply not known.

Not sure about Murat…what have you heard?
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:01 pm
Okay, I go outside to water the plants and I live an acre of land and I chat to the neighbor over the fence for no more than twenty minutes (everyday while the children nap ) and children are asleep, all young babes, and my dogs barks and I look up and flames are engulfing the house and I can’t get back inside and all burn.

Well done Maria. Everyone should take note of what has been said in this post, and not pass judgment before anything has been proved. (Although, by reading some of these comments, that is what the majority seem to be intent on doing. Talk about kicking a dog when its down, you really do take the biscuit). I am sure all we care about is the welfare of Madeleine. I for one am sure that she is still alive somewhere. This little tot must be found, and all the bickering about her parents is doing no good whatsoever. Hopefully this new police chief will put a new perspective on the search, and will start looking for a child that is alive.

No I wouldn’t call you a murderer in that situation. Just evolution in action.
Nominate yourself for a Darwin award, mate! Probably the first time you ever won anything.
