As long as blame exists as a concept with no solid qualification attached to it, then we all are. Consider that we agree to disagree.

We’re going round in circles here.

I’m pointing out that there’s a difference between being responsible and being to blame.

Responsibility exists in its own right, and the McCanns certainly failed to meet their responsibility.

Blame, on the other hand, has to be applied by somebody, and I don’t know who’s qualified to apply it.

Do you?

I’m not avoiding the question. I believe when something is partly your fault you are partly to blame. I don’t think i need a qualification to blame them for what they are responsible for.

You’re avoiding the question. I didn’t mention absolution, but you did mention blame.

who’s entitled to absolve them of guilt for what they did wrong?

Will T: No. They’re now entitled to be presumed completely innocent.

Lee: As I asked you already, who’s entitled to blame them?

“However, they didn’t cause the child’s disappearance. That was done by the abductor”

Who wouldn’t have gotten the child had they done their duty. What if, as originally thought, she walked a few hundred yards on her own? she wouldn’t have got there had they looked after her. As far as I’m concerned, they are partly to blame for what happened, because it wouldn’t have happened if not for their actions.

To Bock
“However, they didn’t cause the child’s disappearance. That was done by the abductor.”

Speculation, no evidence of an abductor

THe McCanns are entitled to have the arguido status removed. There is no conclusive eveidence either way. Everyone should have the chance to be innocent until proven Guilty.

Without evidence we are all speculating.

Maybe a random stranger abducted Maddie and disappeared without a trace.

Maybe Gerry and Kate accidently Killed Maddie and Disposed of he body.

Both theories are spectulation and untill concrete evidence appears, if ever. We can just speculate.

We dont have the right to Judge, just yet

well if I was them I’d sue the ass off the Portuguese Police.
The files have been leaked on the internet aleady. The only evidence that apparently led the Police to make them official suspects was the ’scent of death’ in the apartment and on the cuddly toy and hire car keys and traces of the child’s blood in the apartment. The report says they were made arguidos “due to the slight possibility of connection to a corpse”.

On the other hand, like you said, they didn’t cause the child’s disappearance the abductor did. But, if they had been responsible parents in the first place, they wouldn’t have left those kids on their own.
