The parents of Madeleine McCann have become the
subject of a hate campaign on the Internet.
Their local newspaper, the Leicester Mercury, has had to ban all comments on
stories about the missing four-year-old after it was bombarded with
"spiteful and defamatory" messages about her parents Gerry and Kate.
The paper's Internet site has received hundreds of postings, many of which call
for the couple to be prosecuted over the abduction of Madeleine.
Mr and Mrs McCann have faced criticism over their decision to leave their
daughter asleep in her room at their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal,
while they dined at a nearby tapas bar.
Mr McCann, a hospital consultant, described the critical remarks as hurtful and
unhelpful.
Leicester Mercury editor Nick Carter said: "A tiny minority of people seem
to want to say nasty, spiteful and defamatory things about the McCann family.
"They are bombarding our site, and we had no choice but to block comment
entirely on reports about the family.'
Mr McCann, who is visiting the U.S.
to study the work of child protection agencies there, was forced to defend the
couple's decision to leave Madeleine and their twoyearold
twins Sean and Amelie in the apartment.
Speaking on ABC's Good Morning America show, he said: "We were 50 yards
away and could see the apartment. It's like we were sat at the end of our
garden.
"The kids were sound asleep and being checked regularly. We didn't think
we needed a babysitter. What we did felt perfectly reasonable at the
time." |
