Her parents don't disgust me - they made a poor judgement that they are paying for in full. No different than the parent who thinks they can get away with a short trip holding a child on their lap in a friend's car because they can't be bothered to transfer the carseat - they don't deserve their child to go through the windscreen when the car is rear-ended, but are fully responsible when they do.

What distresses me is the time and money and coverage being spent on one missing child of educated middle class parents. The child is missing due to their poor judgement. I'd rather see the same spent on the innocent victims of abuse, or raising the profile of those who suffer in care and getting children into secure, loving adoptive homes. Children who were born into families that never had a chance and never will have a chance unless they are "rescued".

*applauds*
it does disgust me how the 70,000 or so kids who go missing in the UK every year do not get the coverage that this case has had. Poor judgement? thats polite of you. We have holidayed with our kids, and the last time we did so, they were aged 12 and 14, and not once did we leave them alone unsupervised. It all seems very suspect to me - why was only one of their kids taken when the other 2 were in the same bed? i hear there's a roaring trade in baby buying.

Who is Madeline McCann?

Refer you to this thread started by RK.

She's still headline news here - every single news bulletin on TV and radio reports on the fact she is still missing and the papers are still putting her parents on the front page when they can.

They aren't paying for it SG... she is, or has. They are safe and sound.
They need to be charged with endangerment and abandonment, a count for every night they went out on vacation, leaving the kids alone instead of having them watched, fourteen as far as I have heard.

I think they're very bad parents and their other children should be removed from them for a while till they learn how to be responsible. They deserve all the pain they're in. It's their own fault.

The poor child.

I won't be interested in seeing them until the start working on a replacement.

Not if Willie Wonka's got her. I'm hoping she's somewhere cool with someone who appreciates her more... with a new pony.... as long as she can't be home.

I think you're probably living in dreamland with thoughts like that Bruce...but I suppose it's possible.
