It is all very well to criticise parents who do this sort of thing, but it has been pretty common practice over the years.

This 'holier than thou' attitude really isn't very helpful. We should all be concentrating on finding out the evil person who abducted this child and stop demonising the McCanns.

If all lines of inquiry are exhausted, unfortunately I must agree.

H'mm. Maybe it would be better if the police re-directed their resources away from motorists and historic abuse cases into those areas that the public consider more important (eg burglaries)!
Not sure if I detect a whiff of sarcasm but if not, I think speeding, aggressive, dangerous, drunk drivers are very worthy of police attention. Frankly I'd like to see more traffic police. Having been burgled and knowing it's not a pleasant experience, I'd still rather be burgled than mown down by a maniac behind the wheel of a car.

I do agree that there are more important things the police could be spending millions on now, however.
