If it was publicised to strangers that the Children would be left alone, that does seem like an invitation to the wrong sort of people and another layer of neglect. It does show that arguments can be made for different causes and we will probably never know for sure.
There are so many weird things with this case and the Mcanns are absolute weirdos. There’s the statement about Gerry and David payne(one of tapas 7) by one of there friends of indecent comments about Madeleine previously. There were multiple lies but gerry and Kate and there stories did not match up as well.
I reckon I'd come across as more than a weirdo if I was in their shoes
It should go without saying but as we are all saying it they are guilty of stupidity. They had Madeline via IVF which if you haven't been lucky enough to go through then be thankful, they would have treasured that child like any parent however having gone through that horrible process I cant imagine they would have collaborated some horrible plan to sedate, kill and dispose of their daughter and somehow have a magic power or hiding her. Something that gets levelled at a lot of people above working class or at least working stock is that they lack common sense, leaving a load of kids unattended is a severe lacking of that. Not for one minute do I think they deserve the punishment of losing a child and I'm pretty sure they will carry the guilt of the mistake they made forever.
I’m amazed there’s a book in the first place. I’m not a parent but were my kid to be kidkapped/abducted/murdered and it became a public event to the degree this has been, the last thing I’d want to do is release a book? I get keeping this in the public eye on the off chance. But books and Netflix documentaries???? Presumably the McCanns have to give their consent for a documentary, how does it work?
Wouldn’t most parents in this situation simply opt for a dignified form of initial search followed by a period of indefinite grieving? I can’t get my head around a book?

Do they make any money from these releases?
I doubt they deliberately set out to murder their daughter, sedation gone wrong seems plausable to me, then again so does someone being aware of their awful negligence.
Genuine question as i don't know, but have either Kate or Gerry gone back to work since?
If not then they're obviously making money from somewhere.
No idea but they paid there mortgage via the maddie fund. It was also registered as limited company and not a charity so they don’t have to disclose certain things I believe
I think the real crime has been dragging that out for 8 episodes. I'm on #7 and so far what I've seen that's worthwhile could have been condensed into opening credits.
On a serious note, the Portugeuse police are either incompetent or disgusting, depending on if they believed the McCanns were genuinely behind it or if they wanted to try and fit them up to reduce pressure on them and tourism etc.
As for the media, both here and in Portugal, I know that in the show the UK media spend a lot of time pointing the finger at the Portugeuse media, but absolute scum. At least Calvin McKenzie more or less says as much and owns it.
With proper police and proper journalism, I don't think anywhere near as many people would think it was them. So many disgusting headlines.
Not sure about Kate, but got a feeling Gerry has returned to work. I don't think they are profiteering from the fund or ever intended to
*edit* Also, Kate said that the reason she brought out a book was to boost the fund to find Maddie. Still some strange bits in it though, 're her and her husband's sex life and the bit already mentiine above
One thing that never seems to get mentioned about leaving children unattended is what if there was a fire? Or one of them decided to swallow a bit of lego or the the whole multitude of things children can do to harm themselves.
