I see Kay McCann is once again on a money making venture with the Sunday papers. Haven't they profited enough from there daughters tragedy? I find it sickening.
Please don't get me wrong I have every sympathy with anyone in there position, and I have personal experience with the way grief can mess up your mind.
I just wonder if they are trying to placate her own conscience? Or am I being unfair.

Two aspects to this............ Firstly and most importantly they actually believe their daughter is still alive and have not given up on the prospect of her being found. Secondly, the McCanns are not the only people in situations like this that both use and to a degree take financial advantage of the media. It keeps the continuing search in the public eye while at the same time provides a source of money to pay for on going private investigations. On the surface it may be sickening to view however like a lot of other things in life perhaps we should be thankful we are not walking in their shoes. CWL  |

It dismays me that once again this couple are milking the general public for sympathy and cash. Tragic as it is for poor little Maddie the whole episode may have been avoided if these two parents had spent more time minding their children instead of being out on the lash with friends. I don't care if they were only 30 meters away and in full view of the apartment, they obviously weren't alert enough. My thoughts go to Maddie, Kate will have deal with her own guilty conscience as far as I'm concerned. Rant over.

Being honest I doubt if anyone would give up looking for their child regardless of the circumstances of their abduction. Twenty years down the line Ben Needham hasnt been forgotten and the search goes on www.helpfindben.co.uk/When you dont have closure of any kind what else is there to do but keep on looking and keep on hoping? Using any means necessary.I know if one of my kids was missing Id sell my soul to the devil if thats what it took to possibly get them back  |

ok they lost their daughter because they done something stupid and im sure they regret it every day, but this is about finding Madeleine and to continue the search takes money, call it milking for sympathy and cash or a money making venture but in their situation im sure any parent would do the same, just like shadow i too would be at the cross roads selling my soul to the devil if one of my children went missing.

My kids are in their late 30s now, and like you I'd sell my soul to the devil to find them, but at the same time I would'nt have left them at that age and I don't think you would either. But they did, I don't have much sympathy for them.They mad that mistake and are suffering for it now, and are still after sympathy.

Must agree with Roma here, and they are not exactly on the bones of their arris!! He's a surgeon and she's a GP!!! I'd rather see the money going to someone who cannot afford to have their sort of exposure. I bet there are hundreds, if not thousands of kids that go missing every year, but they have hit a nerve with the media, because they are "nice middle class" people!!

And now the PM has decided to re-open the case. Will this apply for all missing children? I think not .

Yes, I saw that!!! I hope he does the same for all the other missing children as well!! Some hope!  Although I feel for anyone who has lost a child, anyone would, but for some reason the McCanns irritate the hell out of me!! Apparently, she said in her book (I read it on another forum - a post that is, not the book  ) that she reckoned they were being watched, and someone had tried to abduct her the night before!!! If that is the case, then why the hell did they leave the kids on their own??

Went through all of this a few years back on another forum but the owners had to pull all threads because the McCanns started threatening libel action. It was all becoming terribly heated at the time with about 50% defending them and 50% vehemently against them.
I for my part have never trusted the two of them. I don't know them but it is just a feeling I have.

That's exactly what has happened on the forum I go on (the one I mentioned) then someone started another thread, we are all waiting for that one to go as well!!!  If they put themselves about, like these two do, then they should expect some flack!! Not everyone is "pro McCann"!!!

NO!)around the rags goes to paying for this new Met investigation! |

Don't get me wrong I feel for anyone who's child gets abducted, but there are still unanswered question, they are both not entirely blameless. They have turn the whole thing into a media circus, and Kay McCann is beginning to annoy me almost as much as Christine Hamilton. |

We all know it won't apply to others, she seems to be a woman that can turn on the water works quicker than the blink of an eye. This is taxpayers money we are on about here, that could go on better things (like our soldiers) but that's a different story. She has this to live with, she was in the wrong not anybody else. Her story is starting to annoy me now. |

Regardless of what the parents may have done wrong it surely doesnt mean that the child shouldnt be searched for? I was also on a newpaper forum that discussed this and things got really ugly at times :(That forum went shortly after but some trolling had also gone on with some disgusting remarks posted about Madeleine herself.Shocking stuff. Being honest the media played a huge role in deciding to give Madeleines disappearance greater publicity than that of other kids in my opinion.But she was a very young child also and I believe that was a big factor-whom amongst us didnt get a chill at the thought of such a young child alone somewhere The public were certainly touched and donated accordingly.But I think the backlash happened because she wasnt found and when some of the funds were used in a way that some people deemed inappropriate such as mortgage repayments. Celebs such as Beckham were quick to jump in too-he wasnt so quick when Shannon Matthews was missing tho. It also needs to be remembered that when Ben disappeared we didnt have the internet access we had when Madeleine did, nor did we have the culture about child disappearance we have now. Children have been abducted over the decades-but its really in recent times that such dreadful events such as the abduction of Jamie Bulgar, Sarah Payne,or Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman with their heartbreaking conclusions after a relatively long wait with us all hoping for the best conclusion but getting the worst possible one have been played out in the public eye. In terms of the girls there was also criticism laid at the parents door-I know Sara Payne got a great deal for leaving her kids unattended.Holly and Jessicas equally for allowing two ten year old girls to walk around unattended. Both Sara and Holly Wells mother and father respectively wrote books about their experiences also-but I didnt see such criticism. Kate McGanns daughter has not been found as yet and I can understand her motives for keeping this in the public eye even if others cant. I think its as simple as trying to get her daughter back alive. |
