Like everyone, I have heard that Madeleine Mccanne's parents are guilty of gross negligence in leaving their daughter alone in a hotel room while they went out dining in Portugal. That's reportedly when she was abducted. There's a good bit of Internet blog discussion about this -- for example, "Parents Who Neglect Their Children" (AOL United Kingdom News, 5/12/07). Many of you have no doubt heard the reports that the Holy Father has agreed to meet with Gerry and Kate McCann, who are both Roman Catholics (e.g., "Pope To Meet Madeleine's Parents" (Sky News, May 27, 2007). Some see this as part of a deliberate strategy of media manipulation, designed to portray themselves as victims, and it well may be. In any case, there is no question that Madeleine Mccanne is a victim in the case, and her parents quite clearly need our prayers as well.
