Asolutely. That's why the combination of both prosecutors is so enlightening: "Homicide and Sex crimes" and "Fraud" ...

Also the fact, that they went 2 months ago to PT and only after HO gave green light to a full SY investigation this news surfaces.

As a parent, I do hate the fact that there could be eventual arrests of parents..
But when I hug my own child, one of many who was traumatised by those 'Maddie stolen from her bed' scary ads before the Shrek movie, I hope the twins will be able to grow up securely in the care of people who will look after them and keep them safe.

I agree, Praiaaa, perhaps this was the reason for the alleged cover up to begin with. I'm not optimistic for the investigation but mindful that if we do wind up celebrating there will still be two children left without their parents having already lost their big sister. With nobody to protect them from the press in the years ahead. It strikes me that in the rush to look after themselves the McCanns have done a major injustice to all of their children.

I doubt very much that anyone will celebrate when the McCanns are brought to justice in the name of their first born but would just like to mention:
1. I doubt Kate McCann would have thought too much about someone else's remaining children when she reported them to the police/social services, in her capacity as a GP, if they'd been guilty of gross neglect that led to the death of their child.
2. The McCanns didn't think about their own remaining children when they used them to elaborate on their own lies.
3. The McCanns didn't give a stuff about children and pensioners whose money they accepted which helped pay their mortgage.

You are very right that the McCanns have done all their children a major injustice but just because they have other children doesn't mean they shouldn't get what they deserve (and I'm not saying you meant that).

The McCanns have a wider family who will take care of the twins. The twins are used to being looked after by others anyway.

If true, it wont be on vacation, so what's left?  Seeing the lawyers or Police, take your pick.
Both Mr & Mrs there together, must be rather serious.

I think he got there a month too soon! Maybe he'd heard whispers that the CPS had been out in April, and what they were there to do. Which maybe led to a slip of the tongue.
