Kate McCann offered a 'deal' if she confesses to killing madeleine

So that's the answer on any "difficulty getting toddler to sleep" threads - use sedatives

Kits, apparently that's what happened...he saw the twins, assumed Madeleine was in the other room to get away from the crying, and didn't actually look...unbelievable, right?

But Kate wears such sensible shoes! She cant possibly be a child killer! is a joke btw

I have used medised for dd when she is feverish or coughing so she could get rest - and yes - it is a godsend tbh. It's a proper medicine - sedatives in themselves aren't a dirty word. I cant say I agree with dosing children up just so you can have a bit of adult time in peace tho

Adding that this is only stuff I've read online - BBC, Guardian websites etc.

If Sky sensationalises I'd better not read it any more, as I didn't realise.

There really does appear to be quite a few serious holes in their story. Im still shocked though. Its unimaginable, unpredictable and horrific, not to mention downright scary - that we have all been sucked in and led to believe they are the victims. I hope to god we have closure soon one way or another.

there is nothing wrong with sedating a child if required but then leaving a sedated child? its possible to have reactions such as laboured breathing even when u have previosly had same drug with no reaction. I dont agree with leaving young children fullstop but a sedated child should be monitored closely

good point SueW, unless of course, they know that search would be futile.

But surely being doctors they would know this.

Oh totally agree with you there Sue. A private detective from the off.

I agree Orangehead. There are so many holes in the story anyway. It just doesn't sound like an evening you or I would have.

Would not leave the children.
Would not go to check and blatantly fail to do so.
Would not sedate the children, full stop.

(unless they were ill)

Oh, I don't know...it's all so bizarre and terrible.

something in my head tells me something is not right with the whole scenario. How did the blood get under the sofa? why did kate wash maddies favorite toy? I know for one i would have wanted the smell of my daughter on it. What about the DNA found in the hire car?

Good point Elmtree, there is no way I would wash something of my child's if they were missing.

i have just been reading Gerry's blog. It is full of exclamation marks and sounds really cheerful. It makes me feel a bit sick, I can't understand why someone in his situation would want to publish something like this...'popped into church to pray' sort of thing, it's horribly 'I'm a great parent' and makes me very suspicious if anything..

I just don't get it. Something about protesting too much/

No, Binkle, people who object to lurid speculation are not thickies who cannot understand that sometimes, very sadly, parents are guilty of harming their children.

My POV is that fabricating details about a very real little girl's disappearance for your own entertainment is nasty, to say the least. Read some crime fiction, or watch CSI, or something if you want that kind of stuff.

And kicking someone when they are down is pathetic. Most of all, the decent way to respond to the parents of a missing child is with sympathy unless and until it is shown as a fact that they are responsible.

Part of me hopes the poor girls end came while she was sleeping, not in any possible torturous way.
However going down this road, why would there be blood to find either in the apartment or the hire car if she had merey suffered an overdose? To consider the fact that she was bleeding leads to suspect an event far more violent.

Flightattendant - whilst not wanting 'to actively condemn anybody' you seem to be doing a pretty good job of just that.

By the way - remember Sally Clark anybody...?

god hadnt even thought of that. Thats awful. I feel something will come out very soon that is incriminating to them.

Tazmosis, I'm condemning the blog I suppose...nothing else is known for sure, that's just speculation, and I'm sorry if it offends anyone, which well I'm pretty sure it does and I feel bad just speculating so will stop now.
But the blog is just awful. I am just saying I hate it.

Sorry.

Oh and I was condemning the fact the kids were left too. Probably a few more things as well.
Sorry. Will shut up now.

Flight Attendant, dont be sorry, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Freedom of speech and everything. No one knows for sure what has happened. Will have to wait and see.

oh arent you arguidas
oh realyl

Haychee - where do you get your info from?

BBC - "No bail conditions, travel restrictions or charges have been imposed on the couple. "

I did say, "I think.." didnt say i knew for certain. I thought they had to report in every so many days.

No-one's been charged you know. Just thought I'd put that in.
