I'll sign it, then my cat will sign it, then I'll sign it leaving off my last name, then my cat will sign it with a made up last name, I'll sign over and over....bloody neglectful people!

I think by their own admissions regarding this that it is probable that they are suspecting a backlash from the public - comments have been left on the site - and have been quickly removed.

I for one, don't know about signing the petition - my only concern is that they find the little girl safe and sound - once that is done - then the parents should be brought to the fore and questioned.

Something still does not add up with this whole scenario -

I would wait until there's some closure before I signed anything, but I don't think parents should ever leave their children alone.

mrs r

yes, i'd sign, they should be charged with neglect

katehughes2706

The only difference between them, and another family is that they have been caught out.

I havent done it with my daughter, and I wouldnt, but its a fact that alot of people carry on like this on holiday.

I think I would sign a petitiion if it looked like they were going to get away with it, and another family doing the same got in a lot of trouble.

I honestly beleive that there is something being covered up. What kind of parents would leave three toddlers alone and secondly, why would they take the little girl and leave the twins alone. things just dont seem to add up.

Misha-non-penguin

Yes I'd sign it - definitely

carr51

i would sign it for sure- you start one and i'll sign it okay!!!

Jenny

I would sign it.

steven e

i would sign it ,they are professionals after all,they are first to point fingers if we did this,but still all our thoughts are still maddy.anyone reading this who could/might have kidnapped her are reading this,set her free ,please ta.

Stacey

I would sign it. I think a lot of people would. The problem the authorities would have at the moment is they don't know what sort reaction it would get and are probably to scared. Someone should start 1.

I would like them to face some sort of proceedings . However i don't want their children taken away from them . I believe social services should work with the family .

They have to face some sort of intervention as if nothing is done it's clearly giving out a message that it's acceptable to leave babies /children on their own . Which in my eyes it is not.

I have always made it clear from day one I believed they did wrong and not for one moment have I ever been on the parents side and now a little girl is suffering because of their premeditated decision to leave her and her siblings on their own.

I still say they is a lot more to this case then the public are yet aware of. I would wait to sigh any petetion intill the case as been properly investigated .

remember it is the Portuguese police you should send it to (but a copy to Downing Street would not hurt.)
Does any one know of anyone else who has left 3 young children on their own for an evening and gone out?
If so did you report them to the Police?

i believe when the finality of all this has taken place the law will prosecute them but they might escape in-as-much it didn't take place in UK however as sad as it is these two people will live with this the rest of their lives and if they are doctors of medicine then perhaps the BMA should interview them

I wonder if they are being punished enough at the moment. Saying that, they are both (so called!) educated people - one a Consultant Cardiologist I think. Surely they should have had the sense and decency not to leave 3 kids alone.

Yes they should be punished by the law...

This is a matter for the authorities, not petitions.

In saying that, I think a clear message was sent in the case of the poor little girl who was abducted from the bath in her own house. Her mother was in the living room, in a place where you would think she would be safe.

The mother did no wrong, she was in the house but still this terrible thing happened.

Luckily this is a very rare thing and the person who abducted Maddy was taking a great risk. This shows how far some of these scum will go.

We can never be too vigilant with our children, but what the McCaans did was dangerously negligent if you consider the age of the children and sadly Maddy has paid the penalty for this.

A public outcry for justice is right but it must be left to the authorities to make the decision as to if proceedings should follow. It is not a matter for petitions or irrational head hunting and finger pointing.

I have little sympathy for the McCaans but the main focus and energy at the moment must be on trying to find Maddy safe and well and bring her home. The rights and wrongs can be argued later, when this has been successfully achieved.

I would sign it most definately, they should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done, especially as there were childminding facilities on the complex.
No child should be left alone especially as Maddy wasn't even he youngest, they put their 3 babies in danger for what, a few drinks in the bar, I think Maddy being taken is punishment enough though.

xxSHORTYxx

not at this point in time as its irreleavant , the damage has been done, they are reaping what they have sown and punishing them right now is not going to bring that poor child back any sooner

kleo

dont you think they are suffering enough talk about cruel some gardens are bigger than 150 feet but personally i wouldnt eat out and leave my kids at home alone they trash the house when im there imagine the fun they would have if i wasnt

Marmalade

I think that they should face some sort of charges but after they find Madelane. I think it's appalling that someone would leave three children alone in a strange country. Those who think they have enough to worry about should consider their neglect brought about t his situation. The closing the door after the horse as bolted is the stupidest defence I have heard. Madelane was not a horse she was a child capable of getting into trouble of various sorts if left alone. That's why most people know you can't leave kids alone and go out but you can leave a horse!

kjb2b

I'd sign it.so called "professionals" All brains no common sense.

DEFCON 1.

i wouldnt sign it, but i wouldnt dismiss it either.

Greeney

No.

dude

The word is neglect, not neglection. I'll sign a petition against your school for neglect, especially in the spelling department.

No, I won't sign any petition against an individual in such a way. I think the police should investigate the parents more (in the US they'd go way too far and the parents would be the prime suspects all the way).

But I save my signature for grander things, like stopping oil rigs from destroying Welsh tourism. Or what about the skyrocketing housing prices, and the decline of working standards and building standards in this country?

LEXY

Come on what is wrong with people?

Think about it for a while, I doubt very much if these parents were in front of you, you would attack them for this. I personally cannot understand how and why they left those children but Sarah Payne was off playing in a field away from her parents, ok she had her brother with her but where will it stop.

Do you really think everyone will benefit from having these parents charged right now?

We can all write on some pointless message boards and be judgemental against people who have made a mistake that will be with them for the rest of their lives.

MRS D

no i wouldnt they have enough to worry about

suziejoy

stop it stop it stop it fed up of people banging on about how they shoulda not left her you cant shut the stable door now and the poor little mite IS STILL MISSING time enough for blame when she comes back safe

stacey r

Do you have a life? For christ sakes, dont you think they have enough on their plates? Get a grip.

Lmary48

Get real, Ms Perfect!

pink lady

No. i think that this suggestion is quite sick actually! Don't you think they have got enough to worry about?
