true about the money, they should of thought about this before they left there little girl ALONE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, i still hope the parents are charged, there other children should be with somebody else as them 2 are clearly uncapable of looking after them, look at what happened to maddie

At the risk of starting a war on here, I do honestly think the parents have something to do with this...... Maybe they crave media attention, I dont know, but I do think they know more than they are letting on.

Not sure, but who's to say it's not like that. I reckon they are using the attention to cover up their own guilt more than anything. And when that stops or dwindles down, the guilt will be what's left. At the moment they have not had time to stop and let it sink in, maybe they don't want it to sink in till whenever.

I wouldn't be suprised if they asked the pope for forgiveness and of course they would probably would have got it. How all that works is beyond me anyway. Before they saw him, they spoken about faith, and they said their faith is now much stronger?? Faith in what, faith didn't stop her being abducted, faith hasn't found her, and time is getting on, how can your faith be 'stronger'. Amazing.

So now they've had the pope, what's next? Celebraties are always an easy target as as they can't really say no without negative reprocussions. It's all getting a bit pantomine.

How long will they continue to search using the manpower they are using now? Has other crimes gone up in the area as there is a lack of policing to deal with those. Will we see a different picture / home video every month of her?

I think in the end people will be desensitized by maddie, or till the next new thing people takes their interest in, people will get bored by it all, and so far mostly it is down to the parents that's making it happen far quicker than it naturally should.

I totally agree with this. Most people I talk to at work are now voicing opions such as "why is Maddie so special", "havent the media got anything else to report about", "parents are milking it"

I know some of it seems harsh but at the end of the day the Maddie "overload" in the media is now making people fed up of the whole thing. I think the question is where do you draw the line in all the coverage/prmoting awareness.

I know if I was a parent of an abducted child, I'd want to do everything possible in getting her back, but I think we're leading to a situation where people reading the papers, faced with a Maddie related story on the front, will just turn the page over pretty quickly....

imo, they are simply trying to keep the story in the public eye in order to maximise the chances of the child being found. I would probably do the same.

Yes that's right, but now it's at a the point of being annoying. And no one takes interest (or cares) in something thats annoying.

Yes its such a shame that a child's health and well being is no longer at the fore front of any importance to you at all.

Anyone heard about a 12 year old girl that's been missing from Winchester, Hants for the past 4 weeks now? No? Thought not....

smicer07 · 31-05-2007, 14:16

It's important but I think people are annoyed with the amount of attention it's getting, when there's millions of other missing kids that get no publicity whatsoever.

Yeah but as I have distinguished that being 'Missing' and being 'Abducted' is two different things.

This is a 'unique' situation, in the fact that a young toddler as been abducted, whilst on holiday.

But I wouldn't really agree with any other missing kid doesn't get much publicty ... There is one from the other day for instance:-

smicer07 · 31-05-2007, 14:31

Has she actually been abducted though? Or just wandered off? I heard there's no evidence pointing to the fact that she was abducted, no forced entry etc?

Just *missing* or *abducted*?

Note the change in circumstances....

*12 year old* girl *missing* ...

*4 year old* toddler, *abducted*.

And this thread is about the Maddie girl, I do so believe.
