    No my opinion of the McCanns has not replaced. I nevertheless think of that they have got been very stupid to go away their little ones on my own in a inn room. even however i think that they go through on a daily basis with the be apologetic approximately and guilt. formerly each and every thing i presumed that they have got been taking part in a clever activity retaining Maddie interior the spotlight. It stored human beings on the look out for the youngster. even however now i think it's time to stop that. you notice, if there is each and every of the consistent media interest, Maddie is going to grow to be a criminal duty to whom ever has her and can experience that this is extra ordinary to do away with a physique fairly than carry onto the youngster.

    8-11 year old kids playing in a street with other kids is MUCH different that 3 kids under 4 years old left alone in an unlocked ground floor room.

    8-11 year old kids playing in the street can be seen by people passing by, most of them know not to talk to strangers, etc.

    I'm not disagreeing with you that it is dangerous to leave kids unatended even when they're 11 years old. But that doesn't mean Madeleines parents were right, does it?

    If the parents of the 8-11 set up a web site and were constantly on t.v plus campaigning for money then yes the questions would all be the same.

    As a responsible parent I feel I should respond to this.

    I always know where my children are.

    They do not hang around street corners because, they have better things to do.

    My oldest 15 year old is very responsible and has always been aware of my concerns about his whereabouts and always phones me to say where he is. If he is going to be late for any reason he still lets me know. He does not drink or take drugs - his only obsession is sport -

    As for my 11 year old son he would never be aloud out after 6 on his own.

    Agree with the 8/11 year olds but they were still in the wrong. I guess these 8/11 year olds know how to get back home,Madeleine and her brother and sister wouldn't have!

    Not where I live , I live in a nice area , I also have a 10 year old daughter whose time I fill up with various activities so even if she wanted to "hang around" she wouldn't have the time

    That's what I call being a parent , People who let their kids hang around are lazy buttholes

    Any fool with a di*k can make a baby , But it takes a real man to raise them

    the parents of Maddie should of made sure that there daughter was in a secure room 1 way or the other,they were in a strange place with lots of strange people around,personally i would of had her in my room or something,as far as kids that play on the street goes there parents should make sure that they know ware they r cos if somin happened to them they would never forgive themselves.

    Source(s): i couldent leave my kids unattended even at nite wile in a strange country,but thats me.

    How did you come to the conclusion that anyone thinks 8-11 year olds drinking in parks or hanging on street corners was okay?

    Sounds like neglect AGAIN to me.

    those parents are equally irresponsible. These children often pay the price for their parents lack of responsibility - I remember a young black CHILD (around 12 years old) - shot in a park at 3am in London around a year ago - when I saw the parents on TV understandably distraught the first thing I thought of is "where exactly did they think their child was at 3am?"

    Someone asked today whether the McCanns should be done for manslaughter!

    I answered yes and then we could get those parents done for manslaughter who let their kids outside to play but end up getting run over.

    People are way too quick to judge, the most important thing is that Madeliene is found, people are losing sight of that.
