The McCanns

[celtic]

New book out tomorrow.

Don't know much about it, but should they be writing books and making money?

Is this the first book?

Still amazes me no legal action has been taken against them.

**** CLEARS DIARY ***

puts mod hat on.


mccann discussions are always difficult

[celtic]

There's definitely people that think their behaviour has been fine.

Be interesting to see if 8 years on, blondes opinion changes.

[AndrewT]

I hope there's at least a couple of chapters from Paul on the filming of Withnail & I

[aaron1867]

Are they making money?

All you ever get from them when they are talking about book/TV deals is that all the money goes to the search fund

[TightEnd]

i don't know what has gone on behind closed doors and i hesitate to even write this because they've lost a child and it seems unreasonable to even think it.

but there just has never seemed quite enough grief from them as a pair of parents in these circumstances

[Woodsey]

Regularly see him knocking around at Glenfield Hospital....

Wholeheartedly agree.

I also think in such cases the statistics point to the perp being known to the victims. It seems unlikely we'll ever know what happened to that poor girl and it's a complete and utter tragedy. Something, somewhere, doesn't fit, but I can't quite work out what it is. It may be the 'grief' thing.

I just think the intensity of the focus and scrutiny they were put under has given people a skewed perspective. Seems like nothing of substance has ever been found to suggest anything more untoward than negligence.

Doesn't the fact that you can't work it out mean that you shouldn't even make that statement ? Imagine the horror of this genuinely happening to you and then people thinking you were involved.

Also think judging someone else's grief is just a terrible idea.

I would spend every single penny I had trying to find her and would raise money by any possible means to aid that search.

Well said Monda, just let them be , i always think the mother esp always looks drained.

[mulhuzz]

Hmmm. On reflection I think both Monda and Kukirjejejdnsjdjdjdjd-bloke are right.

Grief is a funny thing.  You might be ok for weeks, then something just sets you off.  Some people take months and months to seem right again, others seem to function well hours later.

I do think that they should be thinking of moving on now.

Should they be given an easy time of it? They are involved in the disappearance, either intentionally or not.

I completely agree with the above and as a parent now I cannot begin to imagine what they went through but. . . .

They did Drug/sedate two children under 6, leave them home alone, in an environment that they did not control or were familiar with to go and have a meal with friends and this seems to be forgotten.  I can't see they have ever been bought to task over it and IF (big if as I have no idea) the sedative was a prescribed drug I cannot believe he is still licenced to be a doctor.

If I was caught doing similar my kids would be taken away from me I assume, or they should be.
