I agree that most likely there was an abductor. The alternative that there was misadventure and the Tapas 9 colluded to cover it up is difficult to stomach. Stranger things have happened though.
Bunch of Daily Mail reading, child molester behind every bush fannies. The kids were in a hotel, not left standing on a street corner.
I don't like to be pedantic but they were in an apartment were they not? I doubt many people would ever consider leaving a 3 year old and 2 babies in a separate building to where they were going for any length of time at all. What if one of them had fallen out of bed or woken up and started wandering round the apartment? Loads of things can happen. Did they deserve what happened to them? No of course they bloody didn't If they had stayed with the children would it have happened? No.
And what? If this and if that? Life isn't like that. What IF the parents were with the children in the apartment and the abductor had got in, killed them and took Maddie?
Look I'll say what everyone is really thinking - the death penalty should be re-introduced post haste for these murderous parents. Whether they killed Maddie or not they effectively killed her by neglect and selfishness. Of course I'll change my opinion on this if, as I sincerely hope, Maddie is still alive.
If by boogeyman you mean *****s who abduct children, yes, yes I do. Therefore, I would not leave children unattended.
Here's one then ST - you have a 3 year old child and twin babies. You leave them with a baby sitter. You find out that the baby sitter went out and bought a pack of ***s or a bottle of wine while you were out leaving the kids on their own. Are you genuinely going to say "oh that's ok - it's the way life is?". I'm sure you'll argue that the baby sitter had no right to do that as they were getting paid for it (I know I'd say that) but you know exactly where the question is heading so....
Trying to get my head around this.. Forget the missing bairn bit, but some see it acceptable to leave three tiny kids alone, in an apartment, in a foreign country, whilst their parents go galavanting for drinks and snacks, safe in the knowledge that some **** will poke their head around the door, every so often to make sure they are all ok. Am i up to speed so far?
