The heartbreaking words of little Madeleine Beth McCann to her "mummy" at breakfast on 3 May 2007, her last day alive.
Kate and Gerry McCann are "furious" that this was released on the same date they seek to promote "child welfare". Their own witness statements, the truth, why are they "furious"?
It is not, as Clarence Mitchell lamely seeks to proclaim, the timing of the release of this piece of information that is suspicious, it is the information itself. Parents who admit that they left their children crying the night before and the next night went and did the same again. What were those regular checks the next night? One at 9.05 and another an hour later at 10.05? How could they even remotely consider leaving them alone again at all, given what Madeleine had said to them? How dare they go to Brussels seeking to "promote childrens welfare"? Gerry McCann has stated they were engaging in a "high risk and aggressive strategy". Well then they should not complain when the risks are proved to be just too great. He was bound to fall flat on his face with his contemptuous behaviour to try and suggest they are decent parents and it just serves him right. He will fall flat on his face again, when the Daily Express want their money back. I wonder if they will even bother to ask for it from the profligate McCanns. As I have stated before, I think they plan to get it back by serialisations, books etc concerning one of the most infamous couples the world has ever seen and watch their profits soar. Newspapers care not how they make money, just so long as they do, they went into the lion's den and they will pay the price.
How on earth can Kate and Gerry McCann be "smeared" by releasing details of what they themselves have said? It is beyond my comprehension. It is not the reaction of decent honest parents it is the reaction of criminals caught with their hand in the till, but they have done far worse than dip their hand in the till.
Just how does Clarence Mitchell have the gall to describe a couple who admit to leaving their tiny children crying and then go and do it again the next night as "victims". His remarks where he somehow seeks to "blame" Portuguese authorities are incredibly inflammatory. When is this man going to undertand the world has a right to look at both sides of the coin. How naive was both he, and Kate and Gerry McCann to think they could pull this off and just expect their guilty secrets to be kept quiet?
The controlling arrogance where they are so adamant the world can only hear their false perception of reality, whilst reality itself can be silenced, is breathtaking and unparalleled from anything I believe we have ever seen before. When things do not go just the way they planned they spit venom and project the blame onto someone else as they proclaim just how "furious" they are. Well, we, the general public are furious. In fact absolutely livid that this couple could seek to preach to us about childrens' "welfare". How do they manage to look themselves in the mirror each morning? Mr Mitchell "demanded", what a good partner in crime for Gerry McCann..Don't you dare call us "vultures", Mr Mitchell, we are people who care about the rights of little children and sit and cry to think of Madeleine and her little brother being left alone to cry and then drugged to prevent them doing it again.
"Gerry and I spoke for a couple of minutes and then agreed to keep a closer watch". How simply outrageous, did the life or death or the mental welfare of their children only merit a couple of minutes chat before thinking oh well we will just have to shut them up..All of this just really beggars belief.
In his witness statement the cynical liar Gerry McCann even gives an explanation for why HIS fingerprints would have been found opening the shutter from the inside and nonchalantly drops out workmen had been in his apartment. One can guarantee the police checked them out!
At least this sickening couple are under no illusions they will not be released from their arguido status and blatantly refuse to return to PDL to assist the Police. I believe the Police have the power to force them to comply and that will happen. They are their friends will be forced to explain exactly where each of them were all the way through the timeline and what they were doing. Unless of course their friends have decided to be a little more co-operative with the police to save their own miserable necks, a distinct possibility. As we know Taner and O'Brien were treated to a ten hour grilling, serves them right! I hope the Paynes got the same. I am sure it will be explained to them just how much prison they could get for falsely trying to frame Mr Murat, alone.
To anyone who ever had any doubt about the guilt of this couple I hope finally they can now see the Police knew from the very outset they were most certainly not dealing with a normal couple of parents who were victims of anything at all. From the outset the Portuguese Police have cleverly given them all enough rope to hang themselves and the noose is now very tight.
JUSTICE FOR MADDIE AND HER LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER..WHO DESERVE A HOME WHERE THEY WILL BE SAFE AND LOVED AND NEVER LEFT ALONE AT ALL TO CRY WHILE HER PARENTS PURSUE THEIR OWN SICKENING AGENDAS WHETHER THAT BE IN BRUSSELS OR DOWN THE PUB OR WHEREVER!
Poor little Angels could not choose their "parents".
By the way the press are clearly turning against Kate and Gerry increasingly and rightly so. Check out the BBC page where right above a similar story about Kate and Gerry they report on a scientific study of low copy number DNA as being completely fit for purpose. Now they could not be telling you any plainer!

Madeleine McCann complained to mother Kate about being left crying aloneBy Caroline Gammell in Brussels
Last Updated: 9:19pm BST 10/04/2008
Madeleine McCann complained to her mother after she was left crying and alone on the night before she disappeared, leaked police documents have disclosed.

Madeleine parents will not mark anniversary in Portugal
In full: The Madeleine McCann investigation
The little girl, then aged three, spoke to Kate McCann at breakfast the following morning and said: "Mummy, why didn’t you come when we were crying last night?"
Telegraph TV: The McCanns appeal to MEPs for help
The question prompted Mrs McCann and her husband Gerry to discuss keeping a closer on eye on their children. However, just a few hours after that conversation, Madeleine vanished from their holiday apartment in the Algarve. Friends said they now believe Madeleine’s comment could even be a clue that an intruder was in the flat on the night before her disappearance and that they briefly disturbed her before fleeing. The detailed revelations about Kate and her husband Gerry McCann’s last day with Madeleine emerged during the couple’s trip to Brussels on Thursday where they called for the establishment of a missing child alert system.
However, Mr and Mrs McCann were furious that their witness statements – the subject of Portuguese secrecy laws – were released on the same day that they tried to promote child welfare and safety.
Their spokesman Clarence Mitchell said they were angry and disappointed at the leaks, saying: "The only reason this has come out is because of Kate and Gerry’s utter honesty in their original statements.
"It is very curious that this is being released now, having been sitting in the police files for 11 months. The timing of this is frankly suspicious."
Mr Mitchell demanded an internal police inquiry in Portugal into how the leak occurred: "We would be very interested to know what the Portuguese justice minister would say about how this has emerged from the police files on the day that it has, in the way that it has.
"Kate and Gerry have been nothing but honest and open and they have been the victims of leaks and smears."
A friend of the couple went further, describing the leak as a "blatantly cynical attempt to smear them".
"The minute that you talk about Madeleine crying is the minutes that the vultures will move in and this is why this has been leaked."
He said the McCanns were conducting half hourly checks on Madeleine, so they were surprised to learn that she had been crying.
"It wasn’t really a complaint or a scolding from Madeleine, it was a comment in the morning."
Mr and Mrs McCann, who are suspects in their daughter’s disappearance but have not been accused of any wrong-doing, have never discussed the events of the day of her disappearance - May 3 last year - because of secrecy laws.
But in extracts read out on Spanish broadcaster Telecinco’s late morning programme El Programa de Ana Rosa, it emerged that Mrs McCann had told police about a conversation she had with Madeleine on the morning she disappeared.
The little girl, then aged three, spoke to her mother because she had left her and twins Sean and Amelie alone in the night. Mrs McCann’s statement said: "While we were having breakfast, Madeleine said: 'Mummy, why didn’t you come when we were crying last night?’.
"Gerry and I spoke for a couple of minutes and agreed to keep a closer watch over the children."
After Madeleine’s disappearance, Mr and Mrs McCann were criticised for leaving their children while their dined at a tapas restaurant nearby and have spoken of their guilt for leaving them alone.
In his witness statement, Mr McCann told police that workmen had gone into their holiday apartment two days before Madeleine vanished to fix a broken window shutter in the main bedroom.

He told police he had checked on Madeleine and the twins at around 9pm on May 3. "She was breathing softly and I thought how beautiful she looked. I thought it was quite hot and I didn’t need to cover her up."
He went on: "Kate came running to the bar and said Madeleine’s not there, someone has taken her."
"I thought it couldn’t be and ran towards the apartment along the same route as always. I looked everywhere.
"I returned to the children room I tried to think what could have happened. To my surprise I realised I could lift up the window shutters without effort and almost without making noise."
The disclosures came as the McCanns announced they would not go back to Portugal to mark the anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance.
Because they do not believe they will be cleared of their arguido status before May 3, they said they will not return to Praia da Luz for the anniversary.
Portuguese detectives want the McCanns to go to the Algarve for a reconstruction but the couple’s lawyers are concerned about being summoned back to Portugal.
The McCanns are reluctant to go until the "cloud of suspicion" surrounding them is lifted.
Mr McCann, 39, said: "We do not know how long we are going to be arguidos.
"The reconstruction is still under discussion. We are not quite sure what form it is going to take, whether it will be a Crimewatch style programme with actors.
"We support anything that would jog people’s memories, but we will certainly not go back on May 3."
Mr and Mrs McCann went to Belgium to garner support for the missing child alert system.
Addressing MEPs at the European Parliament, Mrs McCann, 40, said she believed such a system might have helped find their daughter.
"I believe the chances of recovering Madeleine would have been higher, it would have improved our chances.
"I am unable to convey to you just how totally devastating Madeleine’s abduction was, it has been totally awful."
Mrs McCann held a photograph of Madeleine as she made her address to the European parliament and kept her daughter’s favourite toy Cuddle Cat in her handbag
"If anyone wanted to inflict the maximum pain on us, they certainly achieved that," she said. "But that pales into insignificance when you think of what Madeleine has been through – the fear, absolute fear that she has had to endure.
"We implore you to support our declaration. Please do not wait for another child and family to suffer as we have."

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 421 of 421Sometimes and very often history takes time to bring the justice. But I am sure we will know everything that is known to the PJ now even if McCanns would not be prosecuted.
Madeleine is not in danger anymore, twins are...
But that is unfortunatly for the UK authorities, who do not act fast enough to safe children, as we have seen recently so many times...
Evening everyone,
Any news?
Hello, Ana. Nothing really new, I think. Except that Benfica lost 3-0!
Claudia, I agree about hilarious reconstruction, especialy if some of the friends(as i believe)changed their statements...
I wonder who demanded private jet...? Could be the smoke screen as well from those who helped the police...
when i first read that the mccann had leaked the information, i thought it was a crazy theory. now, i am not so sure.
it does not matter. the public are turning against them. this is an interesting read here. now that this information is public knowledge, they cannot put the djinni back in the bottle.
i really must go to bed now. goodnight.
Irina, I have no idea. But honestly, I just don't care!
Sleep tight, ultraviolet.
Well, Claudia your Benfica is a disappointment,don’t you think? Not for me obviously :)
Yes, it is. but it still holds the record! ;-)
Oh, Claudia we have to live the present and not 30 years ago!
Maybe next year! :)
And now, where are based Metodo3? - SPAIN
Next year? Only if they get rid of half the team!
I'm off now. Have to get up at 7 am tomorrow and be working at 8:30! Ouch!
Beijinhos! Dorme bem.
Ana, Sic Notícias.
I am off too,I´m very tired today.
Nite Cláudia, dorme bem tb.
Beijinhos :)
Não te esqueças de ver a Sic Notícias, vão dar informações!
Thank you, Cláudia.LOLOL
just before i leave.
look here! right now!
it is a pity, it is too small to see the writing properly, but the headline is unmissable.
Sorry, Viv. I know you deleted it, but I had to reply ;-)

Having experience of three year olds they do not always report things accurately do they?
If the McCann's had checked them and they were asleep each time, there are other explanations! children of that age do not alwasy adhere strictly to the truth.

Come on, old girl. You can't have it both ways. When Kate reported Maddie as having said "I had the best day ever, Mummy" you were extremely quick to say that it would not be unusual for a 3 year old to say this. We were treated to tales of how all of the pro's children were gifted in the extreme and would have said the same. I was surprised none of them were claimed to be reciting long passages from Dostoyevsky. Now all of a sudden you are playing down what Kate herself stated to the police. Are you implying that Maddie was a liar? Are you now calling Kate a liar??? That's a big step for you. Come on, you can do it!
Seen on the DX. Guess who??
I SEE ALL THE PERFECT ONES ARE OUT IN FORCE

No one left to argue with all you pious fools.
I sincerely hope Karma does not come along and bite you on your backsides!
The McCann's done wrong and they have acknowledged it and Madeleine and they are paying
a terrible price for their error of judgement.
This is not new, so stop overreacting.
What is new is that the PJ have just shown themselves up for what they are.
Many questions need asking about this investigation and Portugal will be forced to hold a
public Inquiry into the dreadful leaks and smears campaign that has been waged against this
couple.
Their human rights have been abused.
This is just the PJ last hurrah, they know they will now return to Portugal after this round of
questioning has failed once again to throw anything at all up. The PJ have waited until they
went back and until the McCann's were in Russell's to leak this, it is their last stand and how
pathetic it makes them look and hoe dreadfully inept as a country Portugal is now looking.
This is the end, the PJ know because they failed, that they now have to release the McCann's
from their arguido status and this is exactly what will happen.
They cannot be be kept arguidos because they ate dinner 90 steps away and someone
abducted their child.
It is strange that not one of you people on here who want to abuse the McCann's, have
managed any kind of wrath for this child's abductor/s.
Shame on you and shame on Portugal.
I would never dream of going on holiday to Portugal, i would not be able to sleep, every
noise, every creak, would make me jump out of bed looking for abductors and I would be
terrified of the Portuguese police too!

You accuse the McCann's of spinning, yet I see your name cropping up post after post,
spinning your own deceit.
The McCann's did not leave their children night after night, I believe I read in one of the
broadsheets that for the first two nights they had the children with them in the Millennium
restaurant. Madeleine went missing on the 6th night if the holiday, so this makes four nights
the children were left.
They were not left without any supervision, they were left asleep in their beds with adults
checking on them every 20 mins or so.
I am not going to get into an unseemly long and protracted battle with you, I can see your
mind is made up.
I think you should not judge or be too quick to judge, because we all make some pretty
stupid and sometimes horrendous mistakes in life, only for most of us we do not have to pay
such severe and harsh penalties. I will leave it there.
I would still never go to Portugal, I do not think it is a safe enough or a civilised enough
country to take my children and if you think the McCann's placed their children on danger by
leaving them, then this was unwittingly done, if I went to Portugal and something happened
to one of my children, I would forever think I was to blame because I knew before hand what
a terrible place it appears to be to take small children.
Portugal is unsafe, personally I would rather go away in the wind and rain than go to that
country, there are other destinations, I will choose from them and somehow, I do not think I
am the only one. I am also scared of their police, if I needed them, I would be terrified they
would beat me up and blame me! I could not go through what the McCann's have gone
through.
I bid you good night.

If you would like to see perfect examples of someone talking rubbish, you need only to go
back and read your own hateful posts.
Not only are they silly, they are totally inaccurate and make you appear moronic.
Alas you have a good audience here and good company.
Have a nice time all of you directing your ignorant accusations at people you do not know,
have never met while trying to sound knowledgeable about things you know absolutely
nothing about. If I were you I would feel very embarrassed about the fool I was making of
myself.

Hiya Doc
I see Psychopops Rosie is so busy posting on the DX in her latest flowery incarnation Lavandula she does not have time to preach too much to her little flock on her own blog, other than to insist that Alsabella is Goncalo and you just count up the number of As in a name as she "predicted".. and she has the cheak to post on here "viv is mad", well I would not wish to have her level of "sanity". As they are so fond of pointing out POT KETTLE BLACK:-)))))))
Tulip did try to counsel her, let us not be seen to support wild conspiracy theories..I fear she is wasting her breath on Psychopops who is sending them all a draft letter to send to the Portuguese government. I bet that will not be too sweet:-))))
xxxxxx
this rosiepops is the one who is full of hate. imagine, to protect kate, she implies that madeleine is a liar. what sort of evil mind thinks these things? i pray she has no children of her own.
lavendula is an herb that is used here to send one to sleep. i am afraid rosiepops paranoid rubbish has this effect on me. i stopped reading it after a while as i could not understand it. it has little, or nothing, to do with madeleine.
THIS IS A LEAK BY THE PORTUGUESE POLICE. THE MCCANNS WOULD NOT RELEASE THIS INFORMATION AND RAIN ON THEIR PARADE IN BRUSSELS

WE ALREADY KNEW THAT THE MCCANNS HAD LEFT THEIR CHILDREN ASLEEP IN THE APARTMENT AND IT IS NOW VERIFIED BY THE LEICESTERSHIRE POLICE THAT THEY AND THE TAPAS 7 MADE REGULAR CHECKS ON ALL THEIR CHILDREN.
THE BONE OF CONTENTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT THE PORTUGUESE POLICE SAY THAT THE MCCANNS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED THEIR CHILD AND COVERED THEIR TRACKS. IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THIS SUBTERFUGE THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE SUPER-HUMAN SKILLS THAT NOBODY ELSE POSSESSES. HOW COULD THEY HIDE A BODY FOR 25 DAYS WHILST BEING FOLLOWED NIGHT AND DAY BY THE PRESS AND POSSIBLY THEIR MOVEMENTS WERE ALREADY BEING SCRUTINISED BY THE PORTUGUESE UNDERCOVER POLICE FROM DAY ONE.

CHIEF INSPECTOR PAULO REBELO IS LIKELY TO TELL PROSECUTORS THAT NO NEW EVIDENCE HAS BEEN UNCOVERED IN HOURS OF INTERVIEWS BY THE LEICESTERSHIRE POLICE.
