WHAT HAPPENED TO MADELEINE AFTER THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN?

sandancer wrote:As this was Sunday 29 th and they only arrived on Saturday , how could a receptionist confirm the child Was Madeleine and the man was not her father ?

If she was going by the photo put out for the search which looked nothing like Madeleine at that time this does not hold water !

Who would broadcast the fact that the children were being left alone ? 

Setting the scene already ?

Supposedly when they booked the holiday the MW complex was still running the baby listening service but once they actually arrived they discovered it had been discontinued and this is why they decided to do their oiwn "listening service" . i cannot for the life of me remember where i read this, maybe it was here on CMOMM.
Whatever they say, it wasnt exactly a very good system, was it?
This is why i have come round to the theory of each set of parents doing some kind of rota of staying behind each night to "babysit". As a mother of two, my youngest being four just now i just cannot imagine sitting down to eat drink and be merry only to have to get up every 30mins or less/more to keep going ALL the meanderanding way back to the apartments only to " listen". It makes no logical sense. I,d be too knackered, definately if i was Kate with three young tots, to be continually running this ridiculous gauntlet of backwards and forwards.
Out of all those "highly educated"  people at least once it must have been mentioned that "we cant just leave them on their own, why dont we divvy it up each night, and squeeze the kids into one apartment so the rest of the adults/other couples can just relax at their meals, then its fair on everyone here, seeing as MW has done away with the listening service, since we initially made our booking.
The ridiculousness of the running backwards and forwards is expressed so well in that Benny Hill style video, which i.m just away to go and look for....

This is from the same statement as in my previous post


"Regarding the question as to the availability of the baby sitting service between 19.30 and 23.30, she confirms that the service exists and that it is free of charge.


When questioned, she says that she does not understand, as the service is free, why the parents of Madeleine McCann did not use it."
