Oh i agree, it would not be a huge shock if indeed the parents or parent is found guilty, but I think it is easy to jump to conclusions about that, they have not got any actual proof of such as yet, the dna stuff is pretty dubious from what i hear.

I can only imagine how horrific it would be to be thought of that way, if you are completely innocent,there are a lot of doubts in people's minds now, including my own,but i like to think innocent until proven guilty.

Well if she did want out of being a mother as it has been put, then why only madeline?

We can go around in circles debating this idea and that, but they are just ideas, only time will tell, and hopefully whoever has done this will be arrested and punished soon, hopefully with Madeline home safe and sound.

I think we have all discussed the issue raised about their lack of care in regard to leaving these children alone,i could not agree more, it is not something i would ever do ,especially in a foreign country, maybe that is why they did not trust babysitters, but in hindsight i bet they are now wishing they had done so, it was a stupid thing to do on their part in my opinion, one they will regret for the rest of their lives,this is assuming the story of her disappearance is indeed true.
