Or if you've run out of money.

They would not be allowed to leave Portugal if they were prime suspects.

enough stupid people have chipped into that pot, i'm sure they could afford to retire there now with the charity givings

There would be little the Portuguese police could do to stop them leaving, prime suspects or not. The case would be similar in England - they would have to charge them or they would have to allow them to leave. If there isn;t sufficient evidence to charge them, they can not hold onto them.

The cynicism on here regarding the McCanns is appalling. Whatever happened to innoncent until proven guilty. The day that they are banged up after a fair trial for the death of their child i will accept it, but until then imo they are being subjected to an appalling ordeal.

same here bb-people are to hasty to assume-they haven't even been charged !

Even of they are found guilty, this isn't a laughing matter FFS

Plenty here that is desperately, sickeningly funny. It's sad so many are scared to make the jokes this so badly needs.

They are supposedly quoting the Portuguese police. And if they can prove it, surely they wouldn't have let the McCanns go home.

Tabloids have a lot to answer for IMHO.

Personally, I think the people that buy these shitrags have more to answer for.
The tabloids are only catering for the market.
Stop buying them or hang your head in shame.

Precisely.
Its times like this that makes you think that freedom of the press is not such a good thing after all (I don't really mean that but I'm coming damned close). But the public have a responsibility not to buy the papers as Macky says.

Probably be for the greater good if most of the forums on this site weren't read either.

At the end of the day they left there 3 young children unattended while they went out for a meal so IMO they are very guilty mabye not of killing their child but of neglect and the time will come soon when people start to realise that they need to take part of the blame for the dissaperance of a innocent young girl!!

very harsh
i would imagine everybody has left their child unattended for 15-20 mins, in the garden etc. some kids get snatched out of tents and their rooms(while the parents sleep), while being babysitted etc....

imo people who ram this scenario down the parents throat are only adding to the unfortunate outcome of the parents topping themselves because of guilt.

Or if your being chased

So this is an elaborate tribute to Duncan Norville

But its hardly leaving your kids for a couple of minutes in the garden is it they left them on the other side of an apartment block when there was a creche not 50 yards from the resturant.
I have two kids and one due this week and i have never left my kids unattended and never will especially not so i can enjoy a quiet meal if i wanted a quiet life i wouldnt of had kids.
And i can understand how it can come across as harsh but it is my opinion and i will stick by it.
And yes i am sure it was a mistake and they will have to live with it for the rest of their lives but mistakes like that shouldnt happen ever.
