I just saw this on twitter and didn't know David Payne made gestures about his own child. Is this true?

The strangest thing from that story is that you let another man bathe your daughter.

Call me old fashioned, after all I am a child of the sixties and that was a long time ago, I would never do that.

by Guest 10.06.11 8:26

Yes LJ I agree with you about that - I will admit though that I hardly knew anyone when my son was small so I would have been hard pressed to find someone (male or female) to bathe him. What do other posters think? Would you allow a family friend to do this?

Not in a million years ... not even my children's step-dad ever bathed them, let alone any other male and only very close female relatives (ie their grandmother and Aunt).

Even if there is no perceived risk, It's just too open to mis-interpretation at best $i don\'t know$

by Guest 10.06.11 8:40

Thanks for that LMM. This has brought to mind the story of the female newsreader (I won't name her for the moment) who was investigated by the police some years ago when she took photos of her partner (not the child's father) bathing her young daughter. She was very indignant to be put under suspicion. No doubt there was nothing untoward but I do feel that she was being a little naive for not being able to understand other people's concerns.

Years ago my husband and I fostered a little 3 year old girl whose mum was my best friend. The mum had to go into hospital for many months as she had severe clinical depression. I then had to go into hospital myself for an emergency operation and my husband had to look after (and bathe) the little girl in my absence. What was the alternative?

by Guest 10.06.11 9:09

I take your point Ufercoffy but I think that we're talking more about scenarios where there are people available other than unrelated males who can be called upon to bathe children.

by Zelina 10.06.11 9:19

The statement always struck me as weird for a number of reasons:

1 - The Gaspars never discussed Paynes's gestures during their holiday. I find that unbelievable. Surely if you were in the same situation, you would discuss it with your partner as soon as the two of you were alone together?

2 - if you were on holiday with other couples and someone had said this in front of you about a child, you wouldn't just be careful when they're bathing your children. You would be so uncomfortable around them that you would leave.

3 - Mrs Gaspar was sitting between Payne and McCann. Any father hearing another man referring to his daughter like this would have a violent reaction, verbal or even physical. The fact that he didn't has some serious implications for both men, and also for some of the other adults (assuming they heard it).
However if several people in the group were paedophiles, would they be so careless as to behave like this in front of witnesses? Especially considering that the Gaspars and Paynes had only known each other for a few days.

They did. The husband was told never to leave their daughter alone ever when DP was around.

2 - if you were on holiday with other couples and someone had said this in front of you about a child, you wouldn't just be careful when they're bathing your children. You would be so uncomfortable around them that you would leave.
They never went on another holiday with them, I think that says it all.

This says a lot about Payne and McCann then.

You have obviously never worked in a large male environment, where they think they are untouchable.

Especially considering that the Gaspars and Paynes had only known each other for a few days.
Seminars can bring out the worst in some people. Too much alcohol and voila!! Loose lips, sink a thousand ships and all that.

Hi Brian,

Found some new stuff for you

Here's a link about David Payne making the reservations for the Holiday Trip to PDL:

You have to scroll down to message: Oct 7th, 2007, 03:27 PM - BagAngel (Roz)
I think that this person has got is own weblog of Madeleine.

This link also talks about Matthew Oldfield being accused of Medical Negligence,
at the Leicester Hospital.

***

I also found this link, here they talk about some kind of system they found (the Tapas 9)
to watch over (Babysit) there children when they would go out for dinner.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Where is said:
Recently they all went to Mark Warner's in Greece where they had devised a plan of leaving their children to sleep while they had dinner nearby. As Mr McCann explained: "The distance is so small, it was so close it was almost like having dinner in your garden. What we were doing was rigorous with multiple people checking at regular intervals."

Why, if they have this system, did the Payne's (as the only one's in the group) use a baby-monitor?????

Groetjes,

Dolores

I don't see why not given the 'myths' surrounding child sex offenders (paedophiles)

parentsprotect.co.uk/quick_facts.htm

You have to remember that most child sex offenders (paedophiles) don't view themselves as paedophiles or consider their behavior towards children as harmful so given this fact how does one expect a child sex offender (paedophile) to behave in front of potential witnesses?

by Laraz 10.06.11 16:34

My son is 2 and my daughter is 7 weeks old and not a hope in hell id let anyone bathe them!! My son is toilet trained and he can go himself now but when he was just after being trained i would be the only person that went with him if he needed the loo!!

paedophile is a word used many times by Kate what about Gerry has he used the word

Code:: Gerry McCann has spoken in a personal video of his belief that his family was watched by "a predator" in the days before his daughter's disappearance. In the video, filmed by a family friend in August and to be screened on BBC One's Panorama, he tells of a "window of opportunity" taken by an abductor.

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7100377.stm

Whichever particular choice of words Kate or Gerry choose to describe the alleged 'abductor' of their daughter the Home Office facts (as opposed to the myths) about paedophiles/predators (child sex offenders) speak for themselves in my opinion.

Greater protection for children as sex offender disclosure scheme goes national

Donald Findlater statement

Donald Findlater, Director of Research and Development at the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, said: 'It's vital that as many tools as possible are available to parents and carers to help them protect their children from sexual abuse and the Disclosure Scheme is one such tool. While we want people to go to the police when they have a concern – we also want all adults to do what they can to ensure children remain safe at all times.

'The police only know about known offenders, and if you have concerns about someone who the police do not know, this does not mean they are automatically ‘safe’. We should all remain vigilant to the warning signs so we can take action if necessary.

'Sex offenders are mostly not the monsters commonly portrayed in the media – they are people we know, often people we care for. Recognising that someone close to us could pose risk to children is not easy to think about. But, if we know what to look out for and where to go for help and advice we are much better placed to protect children from harm.'

What threat? According to Clarence Mitchell 'Kate and Gerry McCann are entirely innocent and have nothing to hide.'

Given this claim of innocence and what is 'factually' known about child sex offenders (paedophiles) why haven't Kate & Gerry ever questioned the behavior of the friends, most notably David Payne? It is understandable that "recognising that someone close to us could pose risk to children is not
easy to think about" but surely questioning the behaviour of those people who had direct access to your child (i.e. friends, neigbours, etc) in the hours before & after they went missing would be a small sacrifice to pay in the search for you child wouldn't it?

I can't understand why the McCanns need the services of Clarence Mitchell? Its obvious Mitchell is 'the link' to the press/media but regardless of what people see or read in the press/media about the case of Madeleine McCann it doesn't change the facts regarding child sex offenders (paedophiles) does it? The facts are (according to the Home Office supported website Parents Protect!) that 8 out of 10 children who are sexually abused know their abuser.

There is a witness statement in the PJ files that says that this person overheard Gerry McCann talking to someone on his mobile unaware he was being listened to (I think he was in some bushes) and GM said something like I think she's been taken by a paedophile.

Now THIS is yet another reason why I doubt the McCanns' story ... they are educated people, who must be aware of the statistics concerning child abuse (and abduction) being most likely perpetrated by people known to the child. Kate in particular, given her GP training, must surely be aware of these facts!

Yet they have chosen unequivocally to show support and no suspicion towards their friends - even in the face of the dogs' alerts and Yvonne Martin's 'doubts' about David Payne - that makes no sense to me whatsoever $i don\'t know$ Personally I'd have been harassing the UK authorities to comb their files in relation to these people.

by Guest 11.06.11 9:56

There was a well-publicised case some 30 years ago in, if I remember correctly the Harlow area, so I'm sure that Tony will also know of it; a boy called Steven (9 or 10 years old) disappeared and all his family, friends and neighbours joined in the hunt for him. It eventually transpired that the killer was his father's best friend who lived next door and had helped in the search. Yes there is a danger to children from unknown predators but sadly there is a greater chance of them coming to harm at the hands of someone they know.

Of course the McCanns are fully aware of the facts/statistics concerning child abuse (and
abduction). Gerry McCann, in particular, sought the facts/statistics himself regarding missing missing & exploited children from CEOP & the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children didn't he? However, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, "the often forgotten piece in the puzzle of the sexual victimization of children is acquaintance molestation."

This is because, "people seem more willing to accept a sinister stranger from a different location or father/stepfather from a different socioeconomic background as a child molester than a clergy member, next-door neighbor, law-enforcement officer, pediatrician, teacher, or volunteer with direct access to children."

Again, whilst it is understandable for the McCanns to more willing believe or accept that their daughter was abducted by a 'sinister stranger' I am not so sure it is as understandable nor acceptable for the police to willing believe or accept such a theory.

How can Gerry claim a abductor had window of oportunity and he did not of course Gerry had his own OPORTUNTYS The statements of T9 are exactly just their versions or lies re 3rd may and if Madeleine died before that date their statements re M that night are all lies
