I am also still following this story of poor little Madeleine. It's been 40 days now and my heart still aches for her return. It was very stupid leaving the kids alone but then must have just thought that being on holiday it was safe. She was most likely drugged when she was snatched thats wht her teddy stayed there, as for the pyjama mix up I have no idea about this. I also dont think for a second that the parents have anything to do with it like some people are saying. Brians Predictions believe she is under their feet and alive but I dont know what to believe. I pray she is alive and unhurt. If there is a god which I dont believe why the hell does he let this go on?????

Highlander i could not agree more with your post. My wife and i thought the very same with regard to leaving those children alone in that room. Of course that Madeleine is returned safe and well is what we all want but i have to wonder if these two parents were not professional people, both are doctors i believe, would the media and the public at large be as sympathetic to their tragic predicament? If the same circumstances had befallen some poor single parent from the working class housing schemes of Glasgow or Liverpool she would be vilified and pilloried from both the media and the public.

They say they went to the tacos bar for drinks and a meal some yards from their holiday home.....where's the difference if i were to leave me kids alone in a room to cross the street at night to the local boozer for a few jars and a meal here in Glasgow? That's the point i cannot accept...If anyone did this and their kid was abducted we would feel for the kid and rightly so.....but most of us would like to lynch the parents for being so neglectful.....What makes it different because it happened on holiday.....IF anything we should be more vigilant with regard to our children's safety when abroad.

Kendo, you are absolutely right, there can be no excuse for such neglect particularly (as I understand) there was a 'child-minding facility available at the complex........ "Why wasn't it used?"

[Bill]

Tess its not carelessness...........its gross neglect and a criminal offence at that !!!!

I agree - but sadly there are so many that say the parents haven't done anything wrong .

A beautiful wee four year old girl goes missing in Portugal after being left alone by her parents,last seen sleeping in bed between her twin brother and sister.
There is a £2.5 million reward for madeleines safe return.
Madeleine's fund is now sitting at £728,714.81,just about every person in the world including myself and all members of our forum have expessed our sympathies with wee madeleine and hope and pray she is safe and the heartacke and nightmare will end soon, ie one day out of the blue she will appear as if by magic.
Here are my personal thoughts and questions.
1 - Why would any parents on holiday leave 2 twin babies and a four year old asleep on their own in a strange country?
2 - There's an important fact of the room door was'nt just left unlocked it was actualy left open by 4/5 inches?
3 - Madeleines favourate teddy she would'nt go any where without was left behind?
4 - Her mother said she was dressed for bed in one particular set of night clothes and the father contradicted and described a totaly different set of clothes completely than the mother had described as the clothes that the mother had described were found neetly folded in the drawer?
5 - Why would the grieving parents wish to leave Portugal and visit other countries,traveling the world doing media interviews and things like a visit to the pope that have nothing to do with personaly searching the surrounding areas,villages and towns nearby or even 200/300 miles away as i believe Madeleine is still alive and in Portugal but being kept well hidden.
I'm sorry if my theories are probably in the minority,but everyones entitled to their own opinion and i feel,deep down something is not right and does not add up...........What do other forum members think?

"I'M PRAYING FOR YOU SWEET MADELEINE GOD BLESS"

I think the same.....

I really don't understand why the door was left open, surely the room had air con!
Don't understand why they are visiting places like Madrid and visiting the Pope, why?

What is the fund really for? They have raised nearly £800k, what will the money be spent on? That is more than alot of charities get in one year!

I hope the little kiddie comes back safe and sound and then the parents heavily charged for their stupidity.

[THE HIGHLANDER]

It is now 65 days since poor Madeleine went missing,the fund now stands at £901,000 the parents are now in Spain because they say Spain has failed to highlight their case and they think that its suspicious on Spains part and there's a possibility Madeleine could be there?
Here's another few facts that have come to the surface lately..............the mother told the police they had been checking the kids every 30 minutes,but the father said he checked the room at around 9pm and the kids were fine,but Madeleine was not reported missing until 10.05pm when the mother went to check.............on entering the room,she discovered Madeleine was not there only the twins were still in the room.............she then ran away back to the bar where the husband was shouting Madeleine's been kidnapped...............now if we are to believe this, why did she leave the twins in the room alone if Madeleine according to her had been kidnapped,and why did'nt she just say Madeleines gone missing after all they have already stated they left the door open,Madeleine could have easily wandered out?
They also told that many people and invited them into the room before the police got there,the room was found to have over 22 different sets of finger prints alone,therefore the Scene of crime had been totaly destroyed of any real evidence?
Why within 3days did the father go back to the UK to form a limited company for the trust fund and appoint 2 solicitors and a media professional to get public appeal and media attention?
And why have the Detectives back in the UK never found the need to interview them?..................as i said at end of my first posting these are just my personal thoughts,but i just know something is not right.

[bigdog]

I think the money could be used for private detectives and the like . This is the first time I have said it to anyone , but I have had a lot of doubts right from the start although I hope that I am wrong .

[Eliko]

HIGHLANDER, you have highlighted some very interesting points, I am inclined to agree with you since the actions taken by the parents subsequent to the 'kidnapping ?' do seem to be rather out of sync in some areas, I also believe that the enormous amount of publicity generated, coupled with the initial interference by the media in the early days of the police investigations, may well have seriously damaged the child's chances of survival.

Whoever may be responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine, their priority will be to cover their tracks, hopefully they will not succeed but time is now on their side, HOPE is all that remains for all concerned.

[tessintrnc]

I too think with SO much publicity concering the huge reward - that the guilty parties would want to cover their tracks. I dont believe that the parents were involved - what would be their motive? They were a couple on holiday - why would they go to such elaborate lengths to get rid of their child? Leaving the children alone like that was very stupid, but maybe they were lulled into a false sense of security by being in a country not known for this type of thing. My friends told me that many - over 30 odd yrs - ago at Pontins holiday camp, you could leave your children in the chalet for the "roaming baby watcher" , not only did you leave the door unlocked - you had to leave a notice on the door itself - advertising that you had children alone there...........
How sadly times have changed.

i think the next time we see that poor girl will be in a box,if ever at all
the trouble is that the world media has put too much of a price on the girl so whoever took her can not do a thing with her [no out in public no going to the shops no school no friends sadly ]
I for one still feel the parents should have been with her not 200yrd away having food[ever heard of take out food?] like the case of ben needam the little boy who went missing on the greek island,police did not take the mother serious enought at the time because she was just a bar worker [not a doctor] the ferrys were not stopped no cars were checked & a little boy is just forgoten by the rest of the world.
Now with the age of the internet media has put a price on every childs head...
