Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

I wouldnt not leave a child alone because of a risk of abduction anyway I wouldnt leave a child alone in case of accident or injury. Im nervous of letting my daughter go off with friends not because of abduction but because of how busy the roads are and thievery as she carries a mobile phone and accident

And once again somebody else has had the trial by media treatment and been "branded" guilty.

No doubt the pack will be after him...

something.. just something.. is not quite right about this whole affair. :erm: :confused:

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

I think this guy is probably innocent.
The press tipped him off to the police, and it gave them a story when they had nothing else.
It is difficult to assess what the actions of a foreign police force mean, they have different laws and procedures to our own.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Yeah you have a media that is used to being given loads of information about police investigations, to the extent that it can hinder someone getting a fair trial, and now they're in a country with sensible laws which prevent the police saying too much, and not wanting to lose column inches, they've set this guy up to extend their coverage without a care for the effect it may have on him.

The press didn't get what they originally wanted so it seems that they successfully managed to push the story up a level.

Which of course wasted police resources.

You really don't need to put that in spoiler tags. Its an unpleasant thought but we're all grown ups here. :shrug:

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

perhaps best not too be too graphic re 'in a ditch' and just say 'dead'?

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Fair enough - will not use any more spoilers in this thread.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

Remember during the Ipswich killings? The police arrested a suspect, after he was interviewed by The Mirror (Deja Vu, the mirror was involved) the papers put his face all over the front page and he was innocent?

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 

In many ways I think 'in a ditch' is less graphic. Phrases like that help us to avoid spelling out what we all fear is the case - that it may already be too late for poor Madeline. You see, now I'm talking about it and I'm still not spelling it out.

We have two children, the older of them is four. Mrs T and I are finding it hard to see this on the news in the evening because it makes us think how we would feel were this to happen to our family. It's just a horrible, horrible tragedy and the fact that the police appear to be closing in on suspects, yet without yet finding the little girl alive and well, makes things even worse.
