Yet more money thrown at the Madeline McCann case

What is the point that is proved?

You know what the real reason is why all this money and media coverage is given to her? Because she was a photogenic kid. If she was ugly nobody would have given a ****. Harsh but extremely true

 

Waffle all you like mate. You seem to quite like the role of the fearless spokesman of the board.
I don't want to debate it with you; If you're happy thinking like you do then bravo.
It just isn't how I think, thank God.

 

For some reason you wont actually tell anyone how you think which is bizarre. Simple question. How do you think the parents of all the other missing children who get no funding feel when the McCann's get another hundred grand chucked at them?

 

Most kids can look photogenic at that age, when you find that (especially these days) there's a million and one pictures taken of them, and even the most gruesome specimen can be made to look half decent in a certain light.

The David Bowie eye is however quite fascinating.

The reason for the mass coverage on this particular matter relates to a heady mix of things - unsolved disappearance with limitless theories, hint of possible filicide but at the very least the strong whiff of parental neglect, attractive mother, Bowie eyed victim, foreign setting, incompetent investigations, father whose voice you can impersonate if you hold your nose and say "wee doggie", and of course the extent to which it makes you think exactly about how you might have lost your own child - were you better parents than them or were you just lucky?

There was a drama on last Sunday with Dombo Cumberpatch which reminded me of one time when I thought the son aged 4 had done a runner in the supermarket.

Don't tell me you've never been there.

 

I'm not sure whether I've been there. Which supermarket was it?

Actually I don't recall ever being there actually. At least not that I can think of.
On the McCann case I think what they did was a bit of a stretch from what a lot of people did. I know a lot of people leave kids upstairs and go down to the bar but they left her in a self contained apartment, left the building and went quite a long way away leaving the apartment insecure. Not something that I'd say was routinely done?
That said their actions prior to reporting it to the police pale into insignificance compared to their deplorable actions afterwards where they actively and deliberately hampered the investigation

 

Is this the Friday Night Music Hotel?

 

I'm only giving my tenpenneth on why this case attracts attention, as it obviously has done, for "real" reasons beyond it involving a mere photogenic kid - which was what your post asserted.

Perhaps you yourself show a detailed interest in lost child cases, but only when the lost child is photogenic. You appear to have studied the matter in more detail than I, so it seems as though it can be left to you.

Finally, perhaps I am the only parent who has had a panic attack when they wondered where their child might have wandered off to. I shall turn myself into the social services at the earliest opportunity, and suggest that any of those I have shared the same experience with, do so too. I doubt I shall be alone.

I'd be in the "parent of photogenic child" queue. Then again we all would, wouldn't we?

 

As said before there are some right dickheads post on here.
Not worth posting any sense.
Fire away cannot be arsed any more to post on here

 

Not sure what your pain is here Homer but you need to use this forum to make your point.

Even if it's your last one.

 

I think most parents have lost this kids in a supermarket you're definitely not the only one but I don't have kids so I definitely haven't lost one and can't remember being lost when I was a kid but that doesn't mean I wasn't.

I did a lot of research into the McCann case when she first disappeared and again a couple of years ago I read a lot of the case files which show what went off which is why it annoys me a bit the money.

 

I think everyone finds the McCann case a fascinating tragedy.

For what it's worth, the child of mine I finally located in the far corner of (then) G T Smiths in Ackworth, in the photo booth, with the curtain closed, stood on the stool, and thus impossible to spot.

Smiling. Little ****.

Good idea not to have one.
