There is too much media attention, not saying that's a bad thing or blaming them. But it's too dangerous for whoever abducted her to keep her alive.

The McCanns heartache is a terrible thing, but when I see them visiting the Pope and other VIPs and the countless press conferences/column inches/TV spots.

But when I see them my heart really goes out to the parent of the all the other children that have gone missing:

In the UK alone

That's a 100,000 a year, which put's it in perspective a bit.

These parents are not getting the support or attention the McCanns are getting.

I agree that it is a good thing to keep the pressure up to find out what has happened to Medaline but I also think that it may be best to let the investigation to continue without the media frenzy.

I mean the current issue, blood spots found in the room. They could be from anyone, anyone who may have stayed in the room prior to the McCanns, it hasn't even been confirmed that it is blood. But the media kicks off, and right on cue the McCanns are wheeled out - press interview " we still thinks she's alive" etc etc.

Is this going to happen every time there is an unconfirmed lead???

Can't we just leave them alone until there is a concrete piece of evidence?
Agree 100%

Heard Mrs McCann in a lengthy BBC radio interview earlier. I do feel very sorry about what's happened yet her comment that they felt it was safe to leave their young children in those circumstances still astonish me. They are obviously fixated on the abduction but what about the other risks of leaving such young children alone in a hotel room? She repeated that they'd checked the children regularly but wasn't pressed and didn't clarify exactly how often or how far away they were. I may have missed these details somewhere along the way but this still all seems rather too vague.

My heart goes out to those other parents who've lost children and whose plight is being largely ignored.
