Filipino nurse accused

[andypaul]

The cops messed up, in my view, by not securing and collecting vital evidence immediately.
Leaking details to the press and generally not being very clever by not sealing all borders, just in case Maddie was being transported out of the country.

As for Randy Oliver the nurse, he deserves anything he gets jail wise, but I would not be in the least surprised if he was to spend a couple of months at one of HM's leisure centres, with the rest suspended, and then back at work.... We will see... With this Goverment record on failed an
#
d bogus deportations he ain't going far.

Most likely he will end up in charge of a childrens hospital knowing the messed up ways of the world.

I think the Madeline case which the media for whatever reason seized on straight away and the parents taking such a PR intensive course of action threw things all over the place. I doubt if a child went missing in the UK wheter straight away, they would seal the UK's borders or even look more than a few miles away. Look how long it takes them to react to any crime.

The way the parents and their family seemed to discuss this crime which would have in this country being discouraged by the police and legal team to prevent sub jucidy issues and the lack of a right to a fair trial being suggested by the suspects legal team problems and in portugal they had different laws which certain parts of the Media were critcal of which didn't go down well in the whole of portugal. With the police and nation being portrayed as some backward country. That the UK with its perfect policing would have the crime solved by lunchtime.

I feel IMO that the Police were as indivuals at local level not impressed by this parents going out drinking while leaving there kids away from them. Again people bringing in their personal feelings into an investigation which may well have affected it.

Yup.....

You hit the nail on the head...

Also the fact that in most countries on the continent, you are guilty until proven innocent....

not just your average parents, they are professionals, she's a gp and hes a consultant, must have a combined income of at least 150k a year, and they couldn't get a baby sitter , i wouldn't or never would even think of leaving my 7 year old alone, never mind a 5yr old and 2yr old twins...

and i believe that many of the group were doctors you would have thought they should know better

There were both indivual babysitters and some other form of baby sitting service.

As Dom will for sure know and im sure many others will know most contential resturants are far more family orientated than ones here in the UK(although thats changed with the influx of european staff in many I have noticed) who will dote on the kids and be insulted if you did not bring them almost. Just like in most Phill resturants where kids will be running around, eating with the parents or dozing in the corner. Whatever no family would leave them alone that is for sure.

But remeber Joe Sir, one rule for us plebs and another for superior than thou types it appears the way they treated the media and demanded the police to so this and that showed the type of people they are imho.
