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.

Are we saying that all parents who lose their kids due to their negligence shouldn't be punished. What if they are extremely good actors, couldn't give a damn about their lost/dead kids and just hamming it up for the cams. I'm not saying that this is the case with the Mccanns but where do you draw the line? There is a clear cut case of negligence here, no black and white area. they left 3 under 4's alone for a night out. They could have been doing it throughout the holiday for all we know. It's not like they turned around for one minute and Maddie was snatched is it?
