hijust to expand further,
my family live in ireland and the irish press reported that the mc canns as medical people drugged their children to sleep so they could go out at night on their hols.....
the mc canns took out some sort of legal press cover up here to hide this story in england and theatened to sue the irish papers concerned....
the irish papers stood by it and were never challenged in the courts, here or there.....
as a parent, i can say that though i love my kids very much, they can be an "inconvenience" at times but they never asked to be born so nonetheless always come first in my "social plans"
best wishes
