Avoided this thread mostly but got a bit bored and read through some of it. No idea if the parents are guilty. One thing I'm finding absolutely fucking mental is how over the top people have been in overstating the parent's negligence. Yes locking kids and in a room why you go and have dinner is an incredibly fucked up thing to do but having your daughter kidnapped is not on a list of expectable outcomes.

 

Someone said other parents that had done the same were lucky? Someone else said the parents are 100% to blame for her death even if someone else kidnapped and murdered her. Weirdos

Bloody only went and took her on holiday, left her locked in a room while I went for dinner. Of course some other scamp has only gone and pinched. I shoulda known better, I mean you leave a child locked in a roll, what do you expect?

 

Kidnap. You expect kidnap.

Setting aside whether people think it's kidnapp or not, they left a three year old and twin two year olds in an apartment by themselves. I can't see how any responsible parent thinks that's acceptable.

I don't think anyone does do they?

I think the theory that they may have,or some accident,killed her and the parents panicked and hid her body is one that's plausible to the Police and outsiders. I'd like to think the Police had considered this and made this one of their first lines of enquiry but the fact that the Portuguese and British forces became involved in a bit of a slanging match over how the case was handled has muddied the waters regarding motives and hard evidence. If it was a kidnapper then why take the older child who was capable of making a lot of noise and not the younger ones who were more defenceless? Details like this are things that make people a bit sceptical regarding the kidnapping/murder theory.

There are so many 'weird' things they have done and said. Maybe some could be attributed to the trauma/stress but so many, and so odd nonetheless.

 

Her initial reaction was a really weird one for a mother. And the reaction to the dogs was another.

 

Intriguing and sad.

Didn’t they drug them as well? I mean, obviously the kidnapper has to take a fair portion of the blame but as a parent, how much more negligent can you get? Drugging your kids to go out and have a meal is pretty much at the apex of concerning parental behaviour

Yeah, there’s more than one crime committed in my view. The kidnapper is obviously wholly responsible for the kidnapping. The parents are surely guilty of child neglect? I dunno, I’m not a Portuguese lawyer, but seems sensible to me.
