McCann’s
Will Not Face Private Prosecution:
Should They Have Been Charged? |

It has been reported that Madeleine McCann’s parents Kate and Gerry will not be
charged for child neglect after Tony Bennett a retired solicitor failed in his bid
to issue a summons against the pair.
The summons believe that Kate and Gerry neglected
their children when they left them in their holiday apartment in Portugal while
they went for a meal in the evening on the 3rd May when Madeleine went missing.
At the Leicester Magistrates’ Court the judicial communications office decided
to turn the summons request down.
A spokesman told Sky News: “After careful consideration, the request to issue a
summons against Gerald and Kate McCann for alleged offences contrary to section
1 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 has been refused as it is clear
this court does not have the necessary jurisdiction.
“All applications are considered in two stages. The first stage is whether the
court has the jurisdiction to issue a summons, the
second is if there is sufficient evidence.
As with this application, if the first stage is not passed the second stage is
not considered.”
Mr Bennett, of Chippingfield, Harlow, said before the
court’s decision: “I’d already got some concerns about the case. I’ve
researched it quite thoroughly over the last six to eight weeks.”
He added: “Obviously speaking as a qualified social worker I was concerned that
no action was being taken.”
The McCann’s family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said the couple had committed
no offence under UK
law or any other country’s law.
Do you think Kate and Gerry McCann should have been prosecuted for child
neglect? |
