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”

I can read about Britney Spears and shake my head and wonder how they even let her drive her children around in a car,
but the McCanns we simply don’t know the inner truth here, even about the days afterwards - and so much so is slanted against them, that it makes me wonder why? It just seems screwy -
October 24th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Why, when you ‘believe’ your daughter has been abducted would you, as parents, leave your two remaining children and fly off to meet the pope - when one of you isn’t even a Catholic? Then plan a rond-robin trip of Europe - again, leaving behind the two children that you supposedly love?
Serious questions about the ‘parenting’ methods and the ‘grief and worry’ of these two people!
October 24th, 2007 at 12:03 am
I don’t know what the truth is, but at least I can suspend critical judgment until we have more “facts” not newspapers rumors.

If you have studied psych then you have heard of attribution and persuasion. Heider’s Interpersonal Relations. Makes me wonder, shouldn’t you of all people then more likely to be a defender?
The bit about the holiday book was true? I thought that was your rage speaking.. LOL

Just-me,1147 Nobody here tonight has condoned child neglect. Outside this site tonight I am active in spreading information on lost children and writing letters in the hope that one day the problem of abduction will at least be reduced. I will not pass judgement where there is no real evidence and so Ilive quite well with myself How about you?

See 1119. Then use your foresight, and imagine. You have a body to dispose of, you are superstitious. You are smart, you are cool, you have covered up before. You know there will be a search, you know where it will start, you know it will be big, but YOU control WHEN it begins. You know the search will have an outer limit. Use your foresight in that situation. Then, after the search begins, use your foresight again because you are a master of the art of double bluff. Imagine.

1179 Pinky Panther - get a real grip on reality …. if they had done the same in the UK the two ’surviving children’ would have been ‘removed’ from them and put in care; and they would have been charged with child abuse! END OF!
THE FACT IS these two heineous individuals - who give not a jot for their children - left THREE children all under the age of 4 alone, for over 3 hours!
The childminding service which they dismissed was manned by the SAME minders that they left the twins with DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY? Nice family holiday NOT!

1179 ThePinkPanther Says:
Edit….
The McCanns did not intend their actions to hurt their child. In no way did they foresee a kidnapper breaking in and stealing Madeleine. Edit….. But murder is a very very far stretch.
++++++++++++++++++++
The McCann’s Baby Listening Service ™ is crap and directly led to creating the opportunity for the alleged abduction taking place.
Whether the McCann’s harmed, murdered, disposed of Madeleine, or any one of a seemingly myriad of lurid speculations is a totally unrelated matter. Please don’t confuse the two.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:46 pm
dee
I have read soooooo many true crime stories, I have studied psychology, I have worked in child care and done the courses.
I have decided The Mc Canns are NPD mad
Their actions directly were involved in her disapearance with some others.
I used to think accidental,
but now thin something more sinister and widespread is involved
statements like
Kate spoke for the fist time –
“I did want to go and look for Maddie myself
– and we’ve been working really hard every day – the first 48 hrs were the most difficult we were almost non-functioning to begin with – but the support and strength from others has really helped – we may not have been physically searching but we have been very busy.”

Gerry or Kates holiday book
no stone unturned
found in their apartment
“NecroSearch International specializes in homicide cases shelved because of “corpus indelecti” that is, a body cannot be produced as evidence that a murder has taken place.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:40 pm
OMG
It was all for free booze? Oh them doctors!
“Heart specialist Gerry, 39, is also said to have regularly wandered down to the tapas bar at the family’s holiday complex where he was given free bottles of wine to take back to his apartment. Mr Baptista added that staff at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz rarely saw the McCanns display any emotion away from the TV cameras.”

i just cant see how anyone would just leave the doors unlocked with all their passports money cameras ipods and last but not least children in the room and go to have dinner
neither can I, trainer. It is just impossible for me to accept that anyone would do this.

Kris thought I was making this up!
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:36 pm
was the door unlocked ….no not according to GM’s call to his sister on the night of the abduction ..the doors were locked there was a break in….bit different from the story today!
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Kris and PinkPanther
You like the recent Murat news? Interesting…we won’t ignore that bit then eh? Rest of news is cobblers though innit.
But Murat does “fit the profile” and that particular news is “veeerrrry intriguing”. Transparent or what.
Oh and Kris to PinkPanther “I’ve totally appreciated your comments here today”
Night.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:33 pm
i just cant see how anyone would just leave the doors unlocked with all their passports money cameras ipods and last but not least children in the room and go to have dinner.
lets face it the door was locked the mc’c even said it was locked …at the start of it all!
doors locked shutters closed….the shutters were then smashed (GM’s phone call to sister) and door opened from inside to escape……..just a little different from the “story” now.

Keep puffing there baby!
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:32 pm
brandon!
I have noticed the change in you for a while now. I am afraid if they don’t crack the case very soon you will pay a visit and do it yourself. What enrages you so beyond any reason?
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:30 pm
1228 Jo I do know. I do live in the real world and I am informed. I have no sympathy for people who willingly hurt children. However, I don’t think the McCanns did anything more than leave the children alone and don’t get me wrong I don’t condone that , but honestly I think they did believe, mistakingly albeit, that it was alright.I do feel they are paying the ultimate price. Madeleine, as someone said here tonight is their daughter, their little 4 year old daughter. For that I have sympathy .
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:29 pm
I will cast the first stone
when they fucking over turn one
and bloody look for that poor child themselves!!!
I used to be such a nice person
