dare 1,103 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Different social class and the whole story would of been portrayed completely different IMO. Lower social class might also have the excuse of being abit ignorant and skint. With their wage they could of afforded a babysitter. Still I don't think it's fair on anyone to kick them when they are down, that's an understatement when you've lost your child. That's if she is lost, maybe they gave her something to make her sleep and it had a bad affect. That said surely one would blame the other and after the ammount of questioning they got I bet one would fold? Then again you get some couples who put their love of each other before their own kids. No matter what happened I dought she's alive. If your the sick type to take a child from its family i imagine all this attention this girls got youd be thinking you got to get rid. Would be amazing if she was found and to know what really happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pernod 466 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Perhaps if they spent the funds available from the outset more wisely. If their kid was genuinely abducted surely making the money available to sections of the local underworld would have had more chance of successful outcome. Money talks. Only my opinion of course but i genuinely believe that would be a better route to go than using an inept police force. Pernod Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 The made a big mistake and by god are they paying for it now. I don't think for one minute they give to flying fucks how they are portrayed in the media, it just happens its looked upon that way. If someone offered me a million pounds or find the wee lassie id take finding her. The smile on there faces would be priceless to me. Why did they hire Max Clifford then mate? The master of manipulating media images for the rich and famous.. I'm sure they've also threatened to sue a few times when anything that could hint at portraying them in a negative way has been mentioned in the press.. I'm guessing they didn't know max but he was a very powerful man in the media. If you've lost a child and he comes along and says "I'll get this case in every paper, front page...we will find your daughter" you would bite his arm off mate, no??? Max Clifford is the master of keeping things out of the headlines mate, not getting them in. Why do you think he represented so many of those BBC peados and other nonce celebs? If you were famous and had a skeleton in the closet, Clifford is the man to pay to keep them hidden there from the public.. Google him and check his Wikipedia page out, he openly admits most of his work is to do with the concealment of newsworthy stories.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your looking it as them hiring the best to not make them look like bad parents and im giving them them the benefit of the doubt and say they hired him to find there daughter.......if they had a choice right now which one would you think they would pick?? But if it comes out that they are involved in it then you'll be right and I'll be wrong........canny see it though... Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C Hall 552 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 It has to be any parents worst nightmare to have a child go missing. When my lad was young and we were on holiday abroad he ate and slept within yards from me or his mother. I would not have ever dreamt of it being any other way 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if it comes out that they are involved in it then you'll be right and I'll be wrong........canny see it though... Lol Just to clarify mate, I'm not for one second trying to say they were involved in it past the part where they went out and left their kids behind.. What I'm trying to say is that I reckon there are other things about their personal life's or characters that they don't want coming out in the open, even if they have little or nothing to do with their daughters disappearance.. Maybe they were swingers as someone else has said or something like that.. You also have to look at the legal actions they brought against any publication that hinted that they weren't telling the truth. The likes of me and you would have to put up with it and be accused of all sorts. As I've previously said, they have manipulated their image with money to ensure they appear to the public as the way they want to be seen, it's that which sticks in my throat.. Can't see how that will find their daughter any quicker than if they didn't do it. At the end of the day the fate of their daughter is just as unknown as it would be if they didn't hire a publicist.. The only difference it's made is that the press dare not criticise them.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 no offence lab,but max clifford isnt known for finding people, his sole job is make people look good,or keep there dirty laundry firmly in the dark.and lets not forget his brush with the law, they got a right few quid from public appeals.wonder where that cash actually went. imo they arent good parents and come across as smug c**ts,i have never heard them admit or apologise for any wrong doing they did. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dont forget the book mate.. Just doing some googling, some of the statements they've made themselves don't exactly portray them in a good light.. Kate told the press this week, on Madeliene’s eighth birthday, that on the morning the abduction happened Madeliene had asked why her mum and dad didn’t come straight to the children’s room when they were crying the night before. ’I never thought for one minute that there was something sinister’ is what she said, ‘I just worried, had she woken up and nobody had been there? But obviously, when we discovered she’d gone, it just seemed very likely to me that in fact, somebody had maybe tried the same thing the night before and had been disturbed, maybe when the children started screaming. There was something about it that just didn’t seem right.’ So they were left the night before too.. Obviously not bothered that their kids had woken up in the night scared that they were left alone. Even if I had left my kids to go for a meal, the fact that they'd been crying and I wasn't there would have prevented me from doing so again. Took that from this blog, worth a read: http://vikkilittlemore.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/the-fine-line-between-sympathy-and-condemnation-for-the-mccanns/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
