We are all making assumptions. Either they have lost a child due to extremely unfortunate circumstances and have to live with that guilt for the rest of their lives or they playing a strange game of keeping the case open and in the media spotlight. Whichever, some comments on here seem to take STW to another low. If I had lost my child and saw this thread I cannot comprehend what emotions and feelings would be pummelling me now!

After more than twenty years working in forensic psychiatry, I'm probably far too cynical to post an objective response to this. It would be a fantastic outcome if she had been abducted and could in some way be found, but does anybody seriously believe thats gonna happen? I agree with TJ regarding the statistics of kids murdered or abducted by strangers - there are predatory paedophiles and child killers out there, but acts of this kind are far more likely to be carried out by someone involved or known to the family. As someone already posted, it can be a sad and cruel world at times.

I appreciate DeadlyDarcy's comment about the McCanns being a little bit stupid and massively unlucky, far far more than the OP's stupid comments about proscuting them.
...
What sanctimonious, judgemental gits people can be.+100: these comments where people effectively say "they deserved it" are fairly repulsive.
I don't think they did anything different from what every sensible parent does on holiday, leaves their kids and keeps nipping back.
I'll confess that we were on holiday in Austria recently and we left our 10 month old daughter alone in the room while we went to the hotel bar downstairs.
Call me irresponsible if you like, but if anyone thinks we deserved to lose her for that action then you are a prize ****.
(In our defence, she was asleep in her cot, on the third floor in a locked room and we had a video baby monitor with us so we could make sure she was okay - but I did remark to the missus that we were roughly a "McCann-distance" away).

Sanctimonious self righteous cocks found again on STW Forum shocker!Stranger danger / abduction / murder is incredibly rare
Really? So what does that mean ?? All the people who were abducted are lying. Suzy Lamplughs' family made it all up and is in fact under the patio?? The fact abduction doesn't happen that often proves nothing, and unless I've missed something we are all entitled to the presumption of innocence. Presuming it has happened as described how big an arsehole does it make you? Just think about how you would feel in the circumstances. Any parent on here who can honestly say they have never intentionally or otherwise done soemthing that potentially put their child at risk is either liar or suffering from OCD.

So... in this case, we can blame the victims a bit?

BermBandit - it means exactly what it says. Check Barnsleymitches post. It means that the greatest danger to children is thier parents and wider familes - and Lamplugh was an adult. We were talking about children.
It was in response to other posts and as I have also said on this thread I don't(now) believe the parents had anything to do with it.

I wouldn't leave a 5 euro note lying out in my room when I wasn't there for fear of the housekeeping staff pinching it.
If a parent wants "adult time" away from their kids then they should either
a) arrange a babysitter
or
b) shouldn't have had kids in the first place as it's a full time job

No, it means that more people are abducted or killed by someone they knew than those abducted or killed by a stranger

I know - aren't we terrible.
Shockingly we leave her alone in her room at home every night!
We did try keeping her sellotaped to us at all times but it started to itch.Posted 1 year ago # -
Have you tried wood glue? Cow gum?

Almost as big a **** as you are for leaving a kid alone. If you'd got back and found the room empty, how would you feel? On the plus side, at least you wouldn't have to arrange babysitters in future.

Ok, drifting off topic here a little.
I wouldn't do what GrahamS did, BUT he did at least have a monitor with them. Its their choice.
I do work in my shed at the bottom of the garden with my 4yo in the back bedroom in bed asleep with no-one else around. Do I deserve flamage too?Posted 1 year ago # -
We considered leaving our baby in a hotel room for some much needed R&R in the bar. In a posh well secured hotel that we were regular guests in. We decided it was not worth the risk. And the thought of the above discussed little girl would not leave our minds.
