It seems a little bit strange to me that this girl got so much media coverage on her disapearance and all of the other children who go missing all the time don't. Its odd, don't you agree, that this one little girl should get all this attention when 77,000 children go missing every year in the UK alone.
No it's not odd at all. This child has parents who are both doctors and have a wide circle of friends and relatives who have used the media to keep this story in the public eye. They have fund raised and gone into this like a campaign of war. Rarely has a day gone by in the past six months when there hasn't been a 'Maddy' story. They feel they only way they can get her back is to make sure she's not forgotten.
This campaign however by middle class parents has had it's backlash, you've seen it for yourself with Robert Kelso's post. the parents are very much in the glare of the media and this had led to criticism of their behaviour and accusations that they were invilved. The Portugese police who have just changed the lead investigating officer, and the Portugese legal system works very differently from the States and the UK and is hard to understand. They seemed to suspect the parents and while officially unable to comment the police however leaked a lot of misleading information to the press. such as the forensic '
evidence' that turned out not to be. The parents recently held and another press conference where the mothe Kate McCann broke down in tears, much was made of this as she hadn't been seen to cry before so people thought she wasn't upset '
enough'. The fact that she may be hiding her suffering for the sake of her two younger children isn't a factor. The media want tears, handwringing and prefarably a nervous breakdown... on camera of course. It ain't real unless the camera catches it.
The latest news from the weekend is that a Spanish detective agency which has an impeccable record of finding missing people has reported significent evidence that Maddie is in Morocco, and that she was taken 'to order' for a paedophile/s. Hope is high that she may be found, sightings of her in Morroco have been reported before. The detective agency was hired by the McCanns, part of their campaign to find Maddie.
Yes there are many children who go missing in many countries, many are children who have run away from home and have no wish to be found others, to be honest, are a mystery. Perhaps these children don't have parents with the means that the McCanns have I don't know the answer to that. The sheer hatred among certain people that the McCanns have attracted is something that has amazed many. The rumours and the 'well there's something odd about them' and 'hey they must be guilty' are truly ordid to my mine. Exactly what is the problem with these parents moving heaven and earth to find their daughter? Is it that they are middle class? they are doctors? That Kate McCann doesn't cry to order? Just what is it?
Gerry McCann is even being accused of not being Maddie's father because someone has suggested the DNA results came back and said he wasn't.
I suggest that if all you can do is make up malicious rumours or suggest that the parents did it you had really best take your dirty little mind away and shut the .... up.
