I can't believe I'm reading this!
Are they ever going to stop digging that hole any bigger?
The McCanns now say how they considered taking their three children with them to another restaurant called the Millennium further away, but rejected the idea only because they did not have a buggy, they said.

They considered. How big of them to actually pause before they went and left them there all alone.

You say they've been punished enough with having to wake up every morning knowing what they did but it isn't justice! What about the people who kill through mental illness, not knowing what they did but they have to serve time in prison for their crime. A poor comparison I know, I strongly feel they should be prosecuted. I feel for them I really do,it must be horrible for them but more so because they were caught neglecting their kids and look what happened!
Will I be shouting for them to prosecuted again? Errr no, I'm not shouting for it to happen in the first place....you've totally lost me on that one I'm afraid.
Would I leave my children alone? No, I certainly wouldn't, but this isn't about me is it?
You Mary, along with everyone else seem blinkered to what I'm actually saying. I've never said leaving the children was right, it wasn't, it was dreadfully wrong.
You seem to think that because I refuse to bay for their blood that I'm cononing their actions- I dont.

mean the general public would want some sort of prosecution if Maddie was found. I doubt very much she would be handed straight back to her parents.
I wonder if they said "they'd never leave their kids"? No one knows what they would do until in the situation. I can't say I wouldn't leave my son alone while I go for a meal, I don't think I would but hey on holiday things might be different. I don't like the whole sorry situation. I just wish they would stay out the public eye as all it does is anger me and make me go off on rants like this!

I wonder how many will be spending 2 hours( ITV 20.00 to 22.00) of their lives,goggling that box n the corner tonight?
I will not, in fact I am bored to my back teeth, with the MaCanns. Tragic? yes but how long will it go on for?
Obviously the MaCanns won.t be able to, but for the rest of us, time to draw a line underneath it now.

mary80.......... you are one hard hearted individual. I am with Boo,Quinland and jno on this.
What is sad is that no-one has mentioned the second reason for the programme tonight, apart from getting Madeleines face out there again was to push for this "Amber Alert" system to be adopted by every country in Europe. It is shocking to learn that only four countries have signed up for it. It is a system that obviously works. It has been successful in France in 5 out of 5 cases. It was what eventually lead to Elizabeth Smart being found in America. People are resentful for some reason about Madeleine receiving more than her fair share of publicity. who decides what is fair? I admire the McCanns for trying to prevent someone else from losing their child.Why dont people vent their anger at their MEPs. Why the hell are they not pushing this thing throughout Europe? Surely something like this is more important than issuing edicts on bent bananas, etc?

I came into this debate late. However, I have to admit to feeling exactly the same as Mary80. And I totally agree with NewJudge about the McCanns media activity.
They neglected their children and as such should be prosecuted regardless of whether they have suffered or not. In both Portugal and the UK if young children are left unattended and something happens to them then the parents are responsible and can be prosecuted. Why have laws if we let people off because they have 'suffered' as a result of their actions?
I do not believe they should receive punishment but I do believe they should be charged with neglect. It is then up to a Judge to decide whether they have 'suffered enough' and give them a suspended sentence.
