Abducted girl - Page 4

Agreed, the poor parents of the little boy who went missing last year must be absolutely gutted as no one heard anything of him.

An 11 year old girl went missing a few days ago too, not sure what happened there. Only heard one report about it on the radio and that was that :undecided:

Nope not at all. You're not the only one I've heard this from. I've seen large discussions on other forums and while everyone really does hope the girl comes back alive they do hate the way the media has blown this up. I've had emails from people sending me a jpg wanted ad, people on MySpace have her image as their avatar, people on ebay selling little hearts with proceeds going to the fund and I even saw her face on a Bit Torrent news site. I heard that over 5,000 children were kidnapped for child sex rings last year or something. Why aren't their faces on bit torrent sites, or on the Sun? Why don't celebs donate to that? How many parents must there be out there wondering where their 2.5 million reward is for their kid? Why isn't Beckham out looking for their lost child? 1 person goes missing and a story to market. 5,000 and thats just statistics.

Hope she's found

The saddest thing about this story, as predicted, is that as time goes on without any news on the girl’s whereabouts then the media and public interest will be gradually being pushed out of the papers and minds respectively.

The press have had their field day of sensational "breaking headline" news and the public of their over reacted, hypercritical concerns. Tomorrow there is a new story.

What is sad about this, is that the parents must have thought with all the media and public support, then the outcome come must be positive. That's not happening and the back off must be a kick in the face for them as they have filled them with false hope. As people and media give up and start to loose interest (which they are), the parents are left to pick up the pieces. That must be quite hurtful. I know what i'm trying to say.. .difficult to put into words..

The cynic in me can't help but wonder if it wasn't one of the parents? I really shouldn't think that way at all, but its happened so many times now its becoming my first reaction when I see a media circus kidnap case.

I would never leave my children alone in a hotel room in a million years. The least of my concerns would be abduction, I would mostly be worried about them waking up to find themselves alone and be scared, hurt themselves, manage to wander off etc. It isn't the same as being in the garden at all imo. They were quite far from the children from what I've seen. Is it acceptable for someone to leave their kids at home in bed asleep while they pop down the local pub? I don't think so and if that happened then I'm sure the parents would be in trouble.

As Cliff said it's a situation that could have been avoided but wasn't. If I was so intent on going out for dinner whist on holiday without my children I would have hired a babysitter but they chose not to. Leaving children that are so young alone is alien to me.

Traces of Madeleine's blood found in the Mcann's hire car and the unreleased DNA results on blood found in the apartment seem to have caused Mrs Mcann to become a formal suspect in the case and will be subjected to more probing questions about her daughter's disappearance.

An interesting development, one can only wonder now what the hell happened to the poor girl. I'm still saying the Mcanns are innocent till proven guilty but it isn't looking good at the moment.

Feek · 07-09-2007, 12:52

I'm surprised it's taken so long, there's been a nagging doubt in my mind right since the beginning about this and if it turns out it is the parents, it won't be the first time it's happened.

Haly · 07-09-2007, 12:53

Imagine what a callous woman she'd be if she really did have something to do with it yet duped the media and the public so much :/
Either way, hopefully I'll find out what's happened to the poor kid soon enough.

Edit: Feek I've had the same nagging doubt, something just doesn't quite add up, at least not from what we're told through the media.

Admiral Huddy · 07-09-2007, 14:24

Looking at her on Sky news, she walks away from the car with a slight smirk.. I'm sorry, but each time she's been on the TV she has never looked remorseful. I know that life goes on and all that but i've never seen her look upset. When chapters aren't closed it's makes "getting on with things" a little harder. I'd be in pieces and wouldn't settle until I knew either way.
