Hi Slug, yes there are bad crimes comitted, but you cannot put the McCann, business in the same line as the horrific crime of James Bulgar, Soham Murders or the Fred West crime, the McCann situation l would compare with an Edgar Lustgarten novel, (those old enough will remember ' Scotland Yard Mysteries from the sixties,) there are so many if's and buts about Maddie, you don't know what to believe, but l strongly believe that she was abducted by some person from the sicko world that we live in, it was even stated at the begining, that this was one lead that they were going on, as it was known in the area, and l believe this to be the case, the McCanns are only being blamed, as the police ' shambles' investigation (as stated in a London paper), can no longer be valid, as the way it has been run. And l think the only crime that the McCann's can be charged with, would be leaving there children in the apartment, and that is it, anything else is a bloody farce.
