I think that should apply to the McCanns too. Why do they keep blaming everyone else in their book? Thsy should expect a reaction even if it has 'been done to death'.

To answer you directly Budweiser we all feel bad that a 4 year old has gone missing and being honest by making this public they forced david cameron's hand a bit. If he turns round and says no more time or resources will be spent he would be villified by the mc'canns something they have become quite adept at doing to all but themselves.

He has to give public support but in reality what exactly would the mc'canns like us to have our intelligence services devoting time and resources on this perhaps we can have an sas unit on standby to fly in and investigate sightings i mean seriously what do they expect us to do. Also in the last few years you've had everyone from ex sas, sbs, mossad, kgb\fsb, stasi and cia looking to claim both the reward and the kudos that would go with it and what has come of all those people all their time and effort zilch nothing not a damn thing.

Like it or not we have to face the very real possibility that she is gone (putting aside my own personal beliefs which i won't repeat) and is never coming back now the choice here is for the mc'canns to move on much as anyone can and also start to take their lion share of the blame in this something they seem to fail to do.

Marty has a good point it isn't just this child or person that has gone missing why not all of them, no sorry but this issue has become so medialised (yes i know not a word but you know what i mean) that anything other then enthusiasm and pledges of support and efforts is political and almost with some people social suicide.

Is it true that they waited till her Birthday to ask the PM for help?
why not 2 or even 6 months ago?

why wait long agonising months before you ask?

Another way to look at it is that the Police have finite resources. If they are looking at what happened to Maddie (where any evidence they have has probably been gone over many times, so may not produce any new info) they aren't looking at and potentially solving a new kidnapping.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 
This country is in a mess financially police forces are seeing resources cut and the mc'canns want an already scarce resource spent on something that by any definition is a cold case. What happened to all the money they got and the private people they hired if they didn't get anywhere why should the met suddenly uncover something new. Sorry this stinks to me of getting the media spotlight back.

Is the government offering the same support to all families with children missing abroad? When does Ben Needham's review start?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 
I would say that without this insistance by the McCann's, is good for all missing kids.

Lets be honest about this, There is NOTHING being done about missing kids in this country, apart from the excellant being done by Kids charities, But if a child goes missing in this country or another, everything goes quiet after a couple of months.

BUT, with the Maddie situation, they are forcing the governments hands in doing something about it.

I applaud the McCanns for doing what they are doing, and l trust and hope that Maddie is alive, IF she is found IT will be done by The Yard.

If there's enough money to provide drug addicts with methadone, then there should NOT be a shortage of money and resources to help find missing children.
