I don't really see that there's anything to be gained by taking action against the McCanns. I totally agree they were extremely irresponsible in leaving three toddlers alone in a holiday apartment but surely they have received the harshest penalty losing their beautiful little daughter. The punishment is ongoing since they have to live with it everyday.

Some parts of the press did do a job in keeping Maddie in the spotlight but the reporting and fabrication at times was unforgivable, Express group again to the fore. I hope something positive comes out of this press committee review because the self-policing of the tabloids isn't working.
