And you can back that number up with what?

I believe the Comic Relief funds and other well known charitable causes go towards in trying to eradicate such devastating crimes.


Well I don't. How disturbing that you feel the usual political infighting that is usually the normal news becomes more important than a childs life, shame on you Matt.


I don't know, why don't you ask Bob Geldof and U2's frontman Bono? Aren't they celebrity enough for you?

Anyway, getting back to the point about the 450+ people who *you* say have gone missing since Maddie went missing, I do hope you can back this figure up and its not some over exaggerated, made up figure by you.

Another point to consider, people who usually vanish or disappear and are classed as missing are usually people who have ran away from home. Maddie is a 4 year old girl, who has been *abducted* whilst on holiday, she is not someone who decided to be in this predicament, so this has created a unique set of circumstances to which the media have decided to take a great interest in. I'm surprised I've had to spell out the obvious really.

Also, those people who go missing everyday, I doubt any of them are 4 year old girls. Or we would be seeing more reports of missing young children don't you think?

The Status Quo usually in this Country, when a young child goes missing, is that it does become headline news. Sarah Payne? Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman?

What needs to be reported? That should be simple - The news about how the Maddie incident is still going on.

"Doh!" What? If you are going to add a response make sure its of meaningful value for a response.
