Don’t many many parents also lock their hotel doors afterwards?

I am most interested in this new development. It is supposedly imminent that they will arrest someone in Britain.
Is this going to be another false report or is it factual?

I hope this leads to Madeleine.

Colette..People take caculated risks and make mistakes. Boy!this was a big one!!
Based on the information they were given by hotel management(robberies). It should not have “felt safe.” Plus they did not go check the the children as they said they did.
More importantly…Who is searching for Madeleine?

A fair assessment of the fact it bothers you? Or a fair assessment of what they did? Or the incredulity of what they did?

Why does it bother you so much? Do you feel that somehow it reflects a mistake that you might make (but of course would never?) I guess you are perfect then?!

(Sorry btw if that sounds mean, and if it sounds I am having a ‘go’. I just coming from the other side here.) X

Mods and Admin,

its still here, but what news?

Do you close on the weekeneds Anorak or the ladies water loo overflowed?

Have any of you searched the web at yahoo? There is a theory someone came up with ohhhhhhh but I read the person suggested that Mr. McCann and Ms. Tanner had an affair. The idea was that Ms. Tanner was involved in the kidnap. It took me a while to think about that one but I am unable to relate to love gone wrong people kidnap other people’s children. No.

I don’t know that once a woman took her boyfriend’s dog home for the day without telling him because she was angry. The guy was very upset looking all over for the dog. The dog was fine. So, there is someone who was capable of kidnapping a dog for a day.

Response to Marilyn Just as in Portugal where supposedly it is difficult to put an end to the problem due to an element of connected, if I understand correctly. So, how to break through the elements that protect the illegal activity?

Maybe there will be more news later. Having not been in the area it is hard to imagine someone enters an apartment in a complex full of many people between , guessing, 9 and 10PM abducts a child without notice, which is known within an hour? Just an example how fast something can happen. If the person did actually walk down the street with the child, ?, aren’t there cars on the road at that time of the night? It is hard to imagine someone walked down the road with the child. I am unclear about the environment.

My guess is the police have a lot of information with cell phone signals and records, dna, observations and so on. Is a random snatch harder to figure than a planned?

I don’t understand why Mrs. Sen didn’t tell the McCanns about any worry she had about safety if she somehow knew the children were left alone. Something doesn’t add up. Mrs. Sen looks like a responsible type person.

After I catch up on work I will be back. Hopefully there will be more to consider.

Now,
Let’s say oh 10,000 (just to pick a number) babies are born in one month in one big city in any big country.
Now, all of the new little mommies and daddies “to be” have attended a “Do’ and Don’ts” and FYI’s - mandatory Child Rearing 101 course.
This course would reveal real life stories like so many as well as myself have shared (like a drivers hand book and a written test) and offer an awareness to take with us through our journey as parents.

Let’s say we create a program to EDUCATE our little mommies and daddies that is MANDATORY before you can bring your child to legal status. (receive a valid birth certificate, or a valid certificate of completion of the course to receive the needed vacinations or other creative, realistic means of trade for knowledge).

Now we have let’s say the McCann’s who completed the course, saw the video of other similar what if’s and how to’s , got the t-shirt, ready for parenthood with another level of learning.
Now we can set fourth fines - guidlines and penalties that are standard real to the letter - YOU KNEW BETTER.
Now - we have GEE should the McCann’s be charged ? Well, they attended the state mandated course and were clear on the laws.
Here is their certificate of completion ON FILE.
Now, with this in place - Did the McCann’s KNOWINGLY BREAK THE LAW. Yepper.
I presented this similar family effort to my children on my own when THEY became parents.

I say this because,
I was married to a dentist and hey - doctors ARE not the sharpest tool in the shed - just because they are doctors.
Oh they are good at what they train to do and allot of other wonderful things- even excellent.
But common sense and good judgement can fall to the way side in ALL of us. Putting Dr. in front of our name does not repell us from “dumb-ass”. (or lawyer, or Mr. or Mrs. )

I recall when Michelle was born.

My mother neighbor came over to see the newborn baby.
Michelle would not settle down so the neighbor proceeded to fill her powder formula with a mix of distilled water.
Well, I was TOLD by NURSE RATCHET at the HOSPITAL EXACTLY what to do - you HAD TO BOIL THE WATER.
I was in a panic that she just injured my child.
Point being I was too young to know that distilled water was as good as or better than boiled water.
I was only 19 yr.s old.

IF these continuing comments could help LAUNCH new programs and STIFFER LAWS it is ALL WORTH IT………….

We could wipe out the Montrose lifestyles.

We could wipe out a larger number of nieve parenting, we could perhaps wipe out the biggest threat - a LARGE number of pedefiles.

And yes, sadly pedifiles watch and study their victims in safe environments.
OR anywhere they can find a “hole in the fence of life”.
I can go on line right now and Google pedifiles in my zip code and see a patern of red dots pin pointng their current address.
Oh that may or may not be before or after they moved last week and just have not been updated by the postal service. And that address update may ONLY take place if and when they have to report to a paroll officer.

Fresh out of prison or years prior - they are in our neighborhoods, ball parks and hotels and and and………….

I have followed this tragedy since day one.
I hope we all can take some little piece of wisdom from these threads and apply them to our own lives of our beautiful little children.

Response to Paul Where do you think the investigation is leading now? Last night there were reports about possible new suspects? Does anyone have a clue?

Mrs. McCann’s mother said they had a false sense of security. I believe her although, again, I am unable to relate. Mrs. McCann’s mother said her daughter was “wailing like a wild animal” which I can relate. What happened there I don’t know.

If it turns out that the reporting about Mrs. Sen seeing a man crawling out any window then I will believe her. Considering, the best I can tell, Mrs. Sen was upstairs that is hard to figure if it was her window she is referring. Reports stated nothing was stolen from the McCann’s apartment.

There is a strategy to baffle people until they don’t know what to believe… Could that be the case here?
