Leaving No Stone Unturned

Madeleine’s fund is a non charitable not-for-profit company, which has been established to help find Madeleine McCann and to support her family and bring her abductors to justice. Any surplus funds will be used to help families and missing children in the United Kingdom, Portugal and elsewhere in similar circumstances. If there are surplus funds Madeleine’s Funds can be converted into a charity.



The Fund is following best practice governance procedures as set out in the Good Governance Code for the Voluntary and Community Sector. The directors of the company are Peter Hubner, Brian Kennedy, John McCann, Esther McVey, Doug Skehan and Philip Tomlinson. They have appropriate legal, business and charitable experience. An experienced Fund Administrator has been appointed to ensure the highest standards of transparency and accountability. This should enable the Directors to maintain an appropriate governance distance in the day-to-day operations of the Fund.



The Board and its individual Directors will ensure that the Fund is subject to required financial legal scrutiny. They will ensure that they receive reliable external advice and information, as the basis for making good decisions.





NOTE

Financial assistance to the family would however include helping them to stay in portugal for the amount of time they did.

I'm starting to wonder if the Portugese police havent any more leads so questioned them in an attempt to make them leave the country so the police could 'forget' about it.

Yes, doesn't change my opinion.
 
I've heard locked, unlocked, they came back every half hour, every hour, they were 100m away, they were half a mile away ... basically I don't believe a word any of them say any more, and I think they sound like a bunch of very self indulgent irresponsible people who weren't fit to look after children.
 
Bloody hell..some of you clearly dont have kids...or have very mollycoddled kids

dont know what to think about the whole scenario or whether the parents had any involvement, but dont think they were "self indulgent irresponsible" or unfit parents...they did as they saw fit, and have paid the price.
 
my kids are far from mollycoddled, but i would still never leave them in a holiday apartment alone. never the less i belive her parents are paying the highest price.

what i don't understand is... there were two younger children in the room who would have been better pickings for any abducter (as a 3 year old child is capable of remembering and talking) yet they were left ?
 
I do have children, thank you, my goats have kids. My children are not mollycoddled, but they are not left in strange hotels unattended while I go out on the piss either as that is gross negligence.
 
*toddles back under her stone*

was it not an apartment/complex where they went to frequently?

and surely everyone leaves their CHILDREN

in similair circumstances at home at times

also, what one person sees as gross negligence another might not so its all very subjective/objective? *stops trying to use big words late(ish

i'd never leave my children alone even at home.
 
AAAAAAARG! Sorry to scream but it's this media campaign, it is driving me wild.
Once and for all - NO EVERYONE DOES NOT GO OUT AND LEAVE THREE CHILDREN UNDER FOUR ALONE IN A STRANGE PLACE.
There. Aplogies for shouting. No, they don't. Almost no one does. I am so sick of this media brainwashing, perfectly normal people going round saying, well, we've all done it. No we haven't!
They were BABIES and they weren't at home, they were in a strange place. It's unforgiveable.

This is why I think there is more to it. But they did neither which to me begs the question, what could they possibly have to hide?

The first time that I saw them on TV weeks ago, the thought that leapt in to my mind was "They are going for the OJ Simpson Defence". i.e. make as much of a publicity splash as you can, then if you get charged, your Defence Barrister has to point out that it is impossible to get a fair trial due to the publicity, and you walk with an acquittal...

Anyone who leaves a child of that age alone in a house or apartment honestly needs their kids removing from their care. Kids arent an inconvenience, or toys, you can't just pick and choose when you care for them, they're a 24/7/365/ 18 responsibility, a responsibility you choose to undertake the moment you concieve that child.
 
OH and I were discussing this earlier. I assume, as the offence didnt take place in this country social services would have a pretty hard job proving anything, and moreso doing anything with all the media attention. Leicestershire Social services (who I imagine would be the ones to get involved) are even less useful than the Portugese police, so don't hold out too much hope of anything being done any time this decade.
 
Probably why the rest of the dinner party have kept quiet.

It'd still be pretty hard to prosecute them on something which happened in another country.

if these folk were anything but so-called "profesionals"..they would be investigated by Social Services and have the other 2 kids taken from them!!

if they had not "abandoned" those kids on a regular basis during their holiday, then there wouldn't be ANY need for "media speculation"!!!!


the McCann's only have their selves to blame...however the legal outcome....

They were as indirectly responsible for whatever fate befell their daughter as the grandmother (and parents) of the child who was mauled by the pitbull. Because they are middle class professionals they have received sympathy, while the far less classy grandmother has been vilified. As for leaving your children - why take them on holiday? Leaving them in an apartment is not the same as sitting in your own garden when they are in bed, as has been said. In your own house you lock your front doors and leave bedroom windows and back doors open when children are in bed. The McCanns behaved irresponsibly, there are inconsistencies in the reports we are getting, and I strongly suspect we will never know what happened that night.

My favourite theory is that the McCanns sent Madeleine to stay with a family member and staged the whole scenario to raise enough money to be able to give up work and quietly slope away when the fuss dies down. That is a cracker!
