Yes and I was one who gave you a rep, but do you want each and everyone of us to acknowledge your point each time you repeat it.

I left this thread for quite a while because of certain peoples posts.I only come back because I saw hypocrisy from those who pushed me away

my views could stop it happening again white washing it will acheive nothing. If my views are wrong please tell me anyone admin mods anyone tell me im wrong go on

Fact Maddie could be dead could be sold could be in the hands of paedophiles and the opportunity arouse for this purely because she was left unattended with two 2 year old while the parents went and had dinner fact fact fact

The building/ complex wasn't locked because it's similar to a hotel in design apparently, their room/ apartment was locked however if staff heard children they have key's to open it and either look after them or get their parents, something that I believe the resort used to actively promote as a service

Better make it a flack helmet. Doubt if the cease fire will be permanent.

I wonder how many other children have been abducted in the past fortnight. Will any of them ever receive the same level of media frenzy?

Anyone ever care about the mass child abductions which take place regularly in parts of Africa.

What if Madeleine had been the daughter of a "working class" single parent, rather than a well-off "middle class" couple of Doctors.


It's an awful crime, & I feel for Madeleine & her family, but the British media's OTT response to this has been ridiculous. And it isn't just the tabloids.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already -

I've just read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6668479.stm

A Madeleine film to be shown at the FA Cup Final.

Very very good article here, IMO, at the MSNUK News Team's blog:

You have to wonder how much longer this can go on. Not the search for the missing toddler Madeleine McCann; rather the media's hysterical coverage of the case, the like of which has plumbed new depths in the name of scurrilous rumour-mongering, gratuitous prejudice and sensationalist overkill.

What I've seen and read these past two weeks has profoundly shaken my faith in the standards of British journalism. Hearsay reported as news, gossip reported as news, nothing reported as news...anything, in fact, except facts and substance.

The McCann family has spoken repeatedly of wanting to keep their story "at the top of the news agenda" (and that's a phrase you wouldn't have found ordinary members of the public freely using even five years ago). But this bedlam of bombast and witch-hunting is having little or no positive effect whatsoever. Sure, it makes sense to keep the case in the public eye, but on whose terms - your own, or the media's? Because so far it's clearly been the latter.

The identification of a "suspect" earlier this week - a word that has completely different connotations in Portuguese law compared to here - was the moment that tipped things over the edge.

Perhaps the media and public interest in Madeleine will encourage those with the power to do something about the issues you raise to act

The media in this country have really gone too far in the last year or so. Like I said before, they thought they found the Ipswich killer instead it was some innocent guy the mirror had conned into giving a interview. Since when were the media the police?

When my siser had her baby in Jan 2001 I had won a free holiday in May 01, it was a 6 berth caravan so we took them with us, one night we wanted to go for a meal. but with there daughter being so young they didn't want to take her to a noisy / smoke filed resturant. So my mum said hat she would baby sit. But I decided to stay and the my Mum, Dad, Sister & brother In-law go to the meal whilst I stayed behind. It was a scarifce I was prepared to make.

We have done this several times since even on holiday, and we would NEVER leave them in an accomadation while we had a meal, even if we could se the front door.

whole heartedly agree with you,no child should be left on their own i cant come to terms with the parents leaving 3 kids on their own what chance would they have had if a fire had broken out ? i find this a totally irresponsible action and i earnestly pray madeline will be found safe and totally unharmed.

zing mark is full of bulls**t,any parent knows the trust their kids have in them as parents and this should not be betrayed,there is an old saying you will have your dog as you rear your pup, and hopefully the love and care you show them will be carried through when they have kids of their own.

The facts are the apartment was locked,the windows were shut and the flat was in sight of the parents at all times.Someone jimmied the window open and then left the door wide open.Someone went to a deal of trouble just to get that one particular child.That's the real sh*t in this case not the parents.

are you for real ?

Are you?Perhaps I'm just not as judgemental as you.Besides which I still feel that we tend to play the blame game far too easily.

A reward for finding an assumed abducted child? Is this what society has become, we need to ply people with rewards to find a child?

Horrible, nightmare story, but I agree on the media debacle over it vs all the other abducted people around the world, all the people being killed round the world. I guess its a good diversion from Iraq and the like though...I mean we are all bored of hearing how many hundred people have been killed in marketplace x each day.

Sad thing about the media I suppose, that the only stories that are going to do well are the ones that can get people emotionally charged. I think this inequality of the value of one persons life to another can be summed up with the old 'a single death a tragedy, a million is a statistic'.

Possible sighting.

I went to a wedding night party last night and there was a toddler there that made me think god that looks like Maddy. I think a lot of cute 3 year old of the same colouring look very similar. I hope she is safe and well obviously and pray she is found and returned home soon
