This is one of my insensitive threads, and not 100% sure but I think that many will agree with me.
I am sick of parents who just have kids as some sort of accessory and don’t take steps to protect them. My feelings may have been enhanced by the fact of two 4/5 year olds running around Sam’s club Saturday when the parents were no where to be found and following the kids around while my wife went for the manager, they were no where in sight at all. The manager took the kids and called the police.
I find the story of Madeleine McCann truly sad and illustrate something wrong with the world when these things happen.
This is not a case where a parent or parents are at the park and they lose track of their kid or a case where someone breaks into a home a take a kid but what we should consider inexcusable behavior on the parents.
If you don’t know, Madeleine McCann is a UK toddler that has been missing in southern Portugal since May 3.
Now the McCanns are highly educated and physicians and should be more diligent about things like this. For what ever purpose it served, it seems that the McCann’s left their kids, two 2 year olds and Madeleine in a bedroom of a ‘holiday’ apartment. They went out to a near by restaurant but claim to check on the kids periodically. When they returned for the night, the windows and door was open and the place empty.
It is tragic enough but the circumstances of the disappearance really bothers me and I feel that this time the parents need to be completely and totally held accountable for her disappearance beside who ever took her. I am outraged at a lack of any idea to hold them accountable regardless of their grief and think that their remaining kids should be removed but this is me and my insensitive attitude toward protecting kids and stupid parents.
I really pray that they find her alive and well but I also pray that people like this don’t ever have kids. To me and my wife, leaving kids in the hotel room and going to eat is the same as a parent who beats their kid. Abuse is Abuse.
