    I doubt we'll learn anything from the McCann's. They'll probably say that there not allowed to discuss the details leading up to her disappearance. No doubt we'll hear a lot about their forthcoming European tour, and a plug for people to donate more money. Me a cynic? Let's wait and see.......

    Have they been able to check the building area where she may have fallen into? I know they said the areas were covered in with concrete 2 days later but is there a way they can check with equipment etc?
    Thanx

    Really? I thought they were trying to find a missing child.

    my email refers to criticising the Police and therefore they should not be criticised as they are doing a lot to help out foreigners.

    but the fact that this roving service is available makes it
    a: seem ok to parents to leave their child
    b: an open invitation to dodgy characters

    I don't agree with this.
    What's wrong with having the roving service if your kids are 14?
    Clearly not the case with the Macanns but I don't see that this service and the hotel are automatically bad in ALL cases.
    they should be brought back to the UK immediately to face charges of neglect.

    Are you a lawyer conversant with international law.
    Can you tell me which countries law applies in this case?
    Have they commited an offfence under Portugese law?

    No-one has actually answered this yet.

    Morally I agree it was neglect.
    I don't yet agree that they have committed any offence for which they can face charges.

    If you are in a foreign country and they allow children in pub or to smoke at a different age then I believe they have to abide by the laws in THAT country.

    I would be happy to be corrected by an international lawyer, but until we do get that information then I think some of you may be incorrect regarding the law.

    They've signed up the first group. Roger Daltry seems to have aged badly.

    emmaroids, be sure to let me know when the tickets go on sale and then I can purchase dozens of them and sell them for a profit on E-Bay, so I can go on my own European Tour this summer!
