Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
From maddies fund faqs...
Madeleine’s fund is a non-charitable not-for-profit company, which has been established to help find Madeleine McCann, to support her family, and to bring her abductors to justice.
.
.
To procure that Madeleine’s abduction is thoroughly investigated and that her abductors, as well as those who played or play any part in assisting them, are identified and brought to justice
If the funds are used in fees for any defence lawyer if they do appear in court as suspects, then some could argue the fund is also being used to stop those who played a part in the abduction to avoid jail.
While there is a finger of suspicion pointed at them it will be totally wrong to use the funds to pay for a legal defence. If they are innocent then they will get their costs back anyway, besides they are not short of a few bob or not (although that could be questioned based on their reluctance to pay for child care on holiday).
Assuming they are not charged, but intead social servies take them to court for neglect. Would it be okay to use the fund then? No it wouldnt. So why should it be ok to use it for this defence action (if it goes that far)
