Lisbon - The parents of Madeleine McCann, the four-year-old British girl who vanished during a vacation in Portugal three weeks ago, said on Friday that the guilt they feel over leaving her alone in a hotel room would haunt them forever.
Gerry and Kate McCann, in an interview with Britain's Sky TV, also said they had no plans to return to Britain without her.
"I can't think about going home without Madeleine," said Kate McCann while holding a pink stuffed toy cat that had belonged to her daughter.
Madeleine disappeared on May 3 after her parents left her and her brother and sister, two-year-old twins, alone in their room while they went to a restaurant inside their hotel complex in Portugal's Algarve region.
"I think it's fair to say that the guilt that we feel, having not been there at that moment, irrespective of whether we had been in the other bedroom or not, will never leave us," said Gerry McCann.
"Certainly the first few days the guilt was very difficult," added his wife.
"Looking at it from where we are now," she said, "I don't feel we were irresponsible, I feel we are very responsible parents, you can't help but have emotions like that."
