[QUOTE=Pollyana;4769263]This thread is now on its last chance.
Can those of you that want to throw insults and generally stuff the thing up please go somewhere else to play, preferably the fast lane of the M4.
fast lane on the m4, nice

Re: Is anyone else feeling affected by the abduction of Maddy McCann?
At the end of the day the only thing that matters is getting Maddie back alive and well, thoughas the days go by that is looking less likely (still we can always hope). It tears at me, the thought of young child so scared and alone with god knows what happening I would never wish the pain and guilt that the McCanns must be feeling right now on anyone. Whatever the rights and wrongs of their decision I can only guess that theyare beating themselves up about it far worse than anyone pointing the finger at them could do. The only thing they have is hope which is probaly getting less each day and guilt and what ifs, which will be with them for the rest of their lives no matter what the outcome.

I really hope these new leads prove to have a happy outcome. Having kids really does a number on you when something like this comes up because you can put yourself in their place and imagien how it would feel if it was you, our kids are the most precious little people in our lives.
She's 4 now and I can't help thinking that if she's somewhere with people she doesn't know she is going to be so scared and upset and missign her family so much, i hope and pray they find her and bring her home or these ar****les that took her find a conscience and leave her somewhere safe to be found.
But what then don't get me wrong she would be bak and safe but how would she be that upsets me and I try not to think about what she has been or is going through it's not right and too much for a little 4 yr old.
I sent the poster round to everyone I knew in different countries and got people saying the parents didn't deserve the help
regardless of how people feel about the parents that little girl deserves to be with her family as soon as possible. Such a bright eyed pretty little girl.
Please find her

Happy birthday Maddie.
Here's hoping you're home with your Mummy and Daddy before the end of the day
Maddie's story has touched the nation deeply, so I understand the need to express it. But, please put the arguments aside and let's not forget that a little girl is without her family right now and going through goodness only knows what. At best, she's terrified and wants her parents.
All that matters is getting her home, safely, and soon.

The hollowness of these condemnations is absurd-history is utterly littered with children who died as the result of momentary bad judgement by their parents-take children who died in wars-holocausts-do we condemnt the parents for not getting the kids out of harms way??

What suprises me about those throwing stones at the parents-the mother is going through the most unimaginable pain-as if she needs people to condemn her.

and comparing something like this to the war/holocaust is not absurd.

Your assumption basically is that anyone that loses a child is by definition negligent.

Re: Is anyone else feeling affected by the abduction of Maddy McCann?
Find me the post where I said that. I said that in this situation then unfortunately (and the parents will know this) if they hadn't had left the little girl in the apartment then I dare say she wouldn't be missing. That doesn't mean I don't feel for them and wish that she is returned safely to them.
