Yes I think it was Austria. That girl was very clever to escape and very lucky to get out of it. Can't imagine what her parents must feel after all those years of her going missing and then finding her again.

I wonder what happened?
The people that have her will have gone to ground and will not surface for long time so I dont think they will ever get her back.

I heard on the radio coming to work this morning that some senior police officer thinks that peedophiles would be better cared for in the community and not jail.
Its about time we got real with these ba***ds and gave them some proper Justice.What went wrong with the system that thinks we should show any sympathy at the expense of our children I say eliminate the risk to zero and what ever that takes do it.

If no one wants the job I'll do it.

He was referring to offenders who have committed crimes such as viewing child pornography, rather than more serious offences such as sexual assault.
They still need their bits chopping off IMO

My god what an awful thing for poor Maddie and her parents as a mother of 2 kids whom I refer to as my babies 17 and 18 years of age it does not bear to think about what could have happened.

I totally agree if its a peadophile cut the bastards balls off.

I am not what you would call a do gooder so please dont judge me on my next comment and by no means am I saying that if it has been a sick bastard that abducted Maddie that we need to show him mercy.

I worked in the UK for a very high profile child protection service ( residential care ) for 10 years and it broke my heart that I was counselling and parenting children from the ages of 4 years to 18 years of age.

These kids had been sexually,physically and emotionally abused.

I would finish my shift and go home and cry.

I would look at my kids who were infants at the time and think oh my god if any bastard touched them I would kill them.

It was a very difficult job not just in the fact that I was protecting these kids and counselling them but also in the fact that I also had to do family work with the people who abused them MUM and DAD family members, neighbours.

My god how hard it was when I really wanted to bloody strangle the bastards.

What was hard to comprehend was the fact that these poor innocent kids who had their childhoods robbed from them through the people they trusted most eventually forgave them.

I still keep in touch with a few of these kids whom are now mothers and fathers themselves and are great parents but sadly there have been many that I have worked with and counselled that have either committed suicide because they blame themselves for the abuse ( Its bloody heart breaking especially when you have heard their heartbreaking stories and held them whilst they have cried in your arm during the night, whilst promising to always be there for them).

Then I have also dealt with one child in particular a 5 year old who was close to committing a Jamie Bulger senario.

A beautiful but very disturbed wee kid who had been very badly abused.

its so sad and I am not making excuses for anyone because if you abuse, abduct, assault a chiild/Adult then you have to face the consequences and its a very sick person in need of help.

I dont think this post will make much sense as its an emotional subject.

I know if it was my child I would want to kill.

I will continue to pray for poor Maddies safe return to her mum and dad and if we keep posting threads on ex pats about Maddie then we will not forget.

God bless her and pray for a safe return.

i just find it really hard to believe that there has not been a single sighting of this poor lil kiddy any where in the whole wide world.

I feel sorry for the child but as for the parents would you leave your kids alone in a strange country for ANY period of time?

Should be guilt ridden,

I go mad if i lose my boy in Tesco's

Totally agree with you 100% .

My kids are 17 and 18 and get really pissed off with me when I question where they are when not at home.

My son works part time and does not get home until 9pm most nights he gets so pissed off with me because I phone him throughout the evening to find out where he is what train station, bus station etc.

If I go to bed before he arrives home I always tell my hubby to wake me up to let me know he is home safe.

I cannot begin to imagine what Maddies parents are going through and without trying to be judgemental no I would never leave my kids alone.



Just pray Maddie is found safe and well.
