I've been following this section about a month now and there and half of the questions have to do with the McCanns. I'll admit, other than than the disappearance itself, I know little of the story except that she's supposedly been spotted but not found, the blood, etc.

So what is it about the McCann disappearance that is different. I don't see a single post about any other missing child on here. Is it because the parents left her? Because that happens all the time with other missing kids. Is it because of the celebs involved?

What makes this case so different from all the others that it's worthy of so much attention on here.

just curious,

The coverage that this story is getting is doing a disservice to all the other missing children out there, do they not deserve to have their stories told as well?



Personally i believe that the only reason why its getting this much attention is because of people like J.K Rowling who came forward to pledge money for the madeline fund.

very good question, these are some suggestions

a) the element of neglect in the children being left alone and the fact that the authorities have not spoken out about this nor have the McCanns agreed they were wrong to do

b) the fact that the McCanns have courted the media daily meaning there is a daily source of info for people to discuss

c) the fund - I think this has irritated some people



BUT WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT ALL MISSING CHILDREN

they does unlike what I could say to them, different than that i've got self belief their daughter is alive (by distinctive characteristic of the fact that maximum paedophiles are no longer killers). in any different case, my strategies on the difficulty are properly popular. The media has been too sort to the McCanns. It makes my abdomen turn whilst the clicking refers to them as "committed mom and dad"; "good", "courageous", and so on. i assume maximum British human beings could be rather awful mom and dad, giving the McCanns a bypass and saying they shouldn't shoulder a hundred% of the blame for their daughter's disappearance. have been you conscious, as an occasion, that they left their babies on my own, slumbering interior the home, each night of their holiday? did you recognize, as an occasion, that they did no longer spend their days with the babies, the two? They dumped them on the motel's creche at 10am and left them there all day on a daily basis? did you recognize that the McCanns have an entire-time nanny at abode, who seems after the babies day and night so the McCanns could have a "complete" social life and careers? did you recognize that if the McCanns did this contained in u.s., at, say, one among those "relatives-friendly" lodges at Disney international, they could be in reformatory actual now, charged with and convicted of a type E criminal, and their twin toddlers could be taken into care? that's what took place to a distinctive careless British couple in 2000, who left their babies interior the room of their Florida highrise motel whilst they went downstairs to visual reveal unit fireworks by the pool. Their 3-3 hundred and sixty 5 days-previous grew to grow to be distressed and enable herself out of the room, and became chanced on wandering the corridors, crying, by yet another motel customer. The couple have been arrested and thrown in reformatory. This became yet another expert couple. the female became no longer rapidly bearing directly to the British ambassador. they actually had the gall to sue the motel and the State of Florida because of the fact they broke Florida and U.S. regulation. They made one among those stink that there became an unsightly marketing campaign by the British Embassy to cajole British travelers to no longer pass to Florida. The state and the motel ended up settling for roughly £5,000, despite if it became the mum and dad who have been a hundred% interior the incorrect. My element is, the sole reason the McCanns are not locked up in a Portuguese reformatory (because of the fact they broke Portuguese regulation), is the Portuguese vacationer Board fears a repeat of the Tampa incident.

It is because of the parental involvement .. the lies . .the intentional implication of an innocent man .. the false statements from team mccann and the fact they actually believed we were all so dumb we would not see through their elaborate lies and smoke screen

i think its to do with the publicity her parents have been able to generate. if she had been taken in Britain the they may have been able to put more faith in the police to find her, but i dont think they feel they can trust the Portuguese police to get the information that's needed to find her! by the way, thats a terrible thing to suggest sammy!!
