to be honest, im not sure :unsure: but i can tell you that we are having 24/7 coverage here at the moment. there is a £2.5m reward (i hope would be abductors dont see this as temptation though :frown: ). i guess the circumstances were pretty unique and there is also a fair bit of criticism aimed at the parents. put all that together, and you have media frenzy.

as for me, i have 3 daughters around the same age group. cant help but get drawn in :huh:

Well, let's wear the yellow ribbon for ALL missing kids. I don't think anyone is meaning that Maddy is more important than any other child. It's just BIG news at the moment:(

Thats a better answer .... The blonde blue eyed kid always go down

I think here the black kid from the council estate would get coverage. I think any kid that was reported "abducted" would get coverage. Well, I would hope so. It obviously isn't the same in the States??:(
