Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann’s Message And McCann Posters For Mari Cortes Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “I feel your pain – Kate’s note to kidnap parents”
Kate McCann has delivered a “heartfelt message of support” to the parents of missing girl Mari Luz Cortes
Writes Kate, a “GP”: “I feel your pain, as parents we know what you’re going through…I am praying that Mari Luz is found quickly, safe and well”
Not that it’s all about the McCanns, a Maddy 2. Although: Says Juan Jose Cortes, Mari’s father: “Only now I understand what Madeleine McCann’s parents are suffering”
Neither Mr Cortes nor his wife are named suspects in their child’s disappearance
The McCanns have offered to equip posters of Madeleine with a shot of Mari – 12,000 of them are to be put up in Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands
Mr Cortes says thank you but “We don’t feels strong enough to make a decision”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “The posters could lead to vital clues in both cases. Mari Luz’s face would sit along Madeleine’s… We just want to help”
Help who?
DAILY STAR: “’I KNOW THE PAIN YOU ARE FEELING’”
“Madeleine McCann’s mum has told the parents of a child feared snatched by the same abductor: ‘I feel your pain.’ GP Kate, 39, sent her words of comfort to the parents of five-year-old Mari Luz Cortes when the McCanns’ private detectives met them to investigate links between the two cases”
How did the papers come to know of this message, and how can knowing help either child?
“POLICE reject claims of link” – Portuguese police do not “believe” there is a link between Mari and Madeleine
Kate McCann is a “GP”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns comfort lost girl’s parents”
Kate McCann has sent an “emotional message” to the parents of Mari Luz Cortes
THE McCanns will have to wait until September this year to discover why they were made suspects
THE MIRROR: “KATE’S PRAYER OF HOPE”
“I FEEL YOUR PAIN – Kate’s message to parents of missing Spanish girl Mari”
Reports are that police are seeking a “local sex pest” in Huelva
“70,000..the number of kids under 16 that go missing in the UK every year. Only 10 per cent vanish for more than five days”
Any more room on those posters? How are they remembered?
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “McCanns tell lost girl’s parents: We feel for you”
Says a friend of Mari’s parents, Irene a
nd Juan Jose Cortes: “They have been touched by the fact someone who is going through her own turmoil can find the strength to think of their moment of need”

I’m attacking no-one Garth! Was merely making a comment. But I suppose if the hat fits ….. (you jumped to the conclusion!)

I think people on here think that the McCanns are so far up their own arse that they couldnt care less. I think thats just bloody ignorant, and in some cases pompous and patronising!
___________________________________
One of the most sensible things I can remember you posting in here. Yes, I agree. I’m very focused in what I believe and I don’t have a clue about the McCann’s private lives apart from the clues we get about star charts and the “naughty step”. I don’t make comments about that aspect of their lives because I don’t know anything about it. You’re right though - some people in here do go over the top with it and I don’t agree with that either.

It is true that it is highly unlikely that children of ages 2-4 would inhale their own vomit because the automatic reaction of a vomiting person is to move so that the vomitus is not inhaled (the exception being tiny babies who do not have the ability to move freely). However, people can obviously inhale vomit and die when drunk, drugged or comatose.
No parent can “know” that their child will stay asleep for a certain period. Something unexpected could easily waken the child, or the child could feel ill, cold, etc. The greatest danger, in my opinion, is that a child will get out of bed and get up to mischief, such as turning on the bath water or playing with electrical wires, or even falling in the dark, fighting with each other, or trying to get out of the house. That is in addition to the fact that most children are dreadfully afraid of being alone in the dark without an adult.

Thank you for that info. So the systems are really much the same here and in the USA, except that in the US you would be more likely to see a consultant privately and then reclaim from your medical insurance. Whereas in the UK you could either see one privately in a consulting room in/not in, a hospital, or, as is more usual, without payment in an NHS hospital. Is that right?
_________________________________
Having lived in both countries, there’s fors and againsts in both health systems. The USA is the pits if you don’t have or can’t afford health insurance. But that’s so bad, it’s not worthy of discussion. The case that you’re talking about is the US person who has health insurance and how it compares to the UK right?
Ok, the system in the UK is that your local NHS doctor is usually the one you go to. I don’t know if there’s specific rules against this or not in the UK but I always had a doctor within a mile or two of where I lived. Perhaps I could have had a doctor 20 miles away if I wanted to but I never tried that. Here in the USA, you go find a family doctor/GP and sign up with them. If you don’t like any part of it you go find another one etc. Instead of having a few centralised medical facilities, there are doctors and surgeries everywhere. You have a medical insurance card and you go pick them out on recommendations or pinning the tail on the donkey in Yellow Pages.
All medicine here is essentially private so your phrase about that is meaningless in comparison to the UK’s system. You pick doctors and specialists here like you choose where to buy your groceries. It’s that simple an analogy.

“And two or more allegedly intelligent adults allegedly coming to the conclusion that there could possibly be any risk scenario in which it would be acceptable to leave three children under the age of four alone whilst they dined away from their apartment is completely unacceptable. End of.”
You forgot to say “In my opinion”

I have absolutely no doubt that you are a good parent. Unfortunately contrary to what you think about myself which of course in untrue. But of course you’re right, and Im glad you concede, people perceptions of risk do differ, whether that stupid or not is debatable (not on this forum) but then some people go over the top. I think people on here think that the McCanns are so far up their own arse that they couldnt care less. I think thats just bloody ignorant, and in some cases pompous and patronising!

I trust that all those who are going out this wonderful Friday evening will have made careful and considerate arrangements for the “little people” in their lives? You know, the type of arrangment where they will be safe and not left to fend for themselves?

“Personally, I think Mari Luz’s family is wise to avoid hooking up with the McCanns in any and every which way. I hope they continue to decline any offers for assistance from the McCanns.”
Actually this should be wise for both parties. The Spanish case is also unsolved so far…

Carmen,
I offer a business plan for Anorak:
-charging ordinary addicts per portion of the antidot
-not giving any antidot to “hopeless” addicts- they will grow into Anorak,
- giving free preferential treatment to Dr. Mccanns and any other Dr.s on this site!
-beware that your actions will be found hurtful and unhelpful
January 18th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
And ….. there was this BEAUTIFUL picture of the “amazing parents” (along with another adult), SWINGING the twins in the air by their arms …. (mommy - twin - other adult - twin - daddy). Any idea how dangerous this is? They obviously don’t! They need a serious course in human behaviour and parenting.

Now come on stevo, dont get personal, Im playing devils advocat here. And for your information , my kids are well looked after. They have all the love we could possibly give and a very secure family routine.

Garth - I trust you do look after your kids and love them. That’s not the point. I think a large number of people would rather know Madeleine was not loved extensively but was looked after with the basics being right at the very least. A lot of kids aren’t loved. This is not an issue here. The issue is the basic thought of two highly educated doctor parents walking away from that apartment while perhaps the kids were already crying their eyes out knowing they would be left alone for hours. This is not acceptable under any circumstances.

When I’ve gone flying and my kids want to go too, I’ve never ever taken them with me at the same time. I’ve taken one at a time. I do that because I calculate the risk. Call it daft or anything you like but I do that because I realise that private flying is “risky”. I’ve taken my son pillion on the back of my bike but wouldn’t take my daughter and I don’t even like the thought of my son on the back with me to be honest. When it comes to risky things involving machines/toys etc. I make a calculation and ensure it comes out on the safe side of caution. The bike is probably an exception in my case but it’s as close as calculating a risk as I get.
Leaving kids alone is a no-brainer. I do agree with you that not everyone has the same standards in assessing risk but they need educating Garth. Some people are too ignorant or stupid to realise the risks they put kids under - especially toddlers/infants.

The trouble with peoples view on this forum regarding the McCanns is blatantly obvious to see. They dislike them for leaving them tots on their own. Whether they are innocent of a conspiracy or not, in the eyes of you lot, they’re gulty. End of. The trouble is, you lot are no bleedin better, because your quick to judge, without knowing the facts. And dont give me all the “well they shouldnt of left them on their own crap” because its boring!

You have just got to accept that not everyones perception of ‘risk’ is the same as yours. They maybe on here, but then thats not surprising is it because they’re all perfect!
——————————————————–
No-one here EVER said they were the perfect parent, we’re just not idiots and leave our kids to their own defences. There’s a huge difference between being a responsible parent and a “the-kids-are-in-our-way” parent!

The ONLY reason that the Mc’s left those kids alone is that they wanted p*ss up time for themselves. FFS if you have children, you realise that a certain amount of freedom needs to be given up! Firstly they were utterly selfish, secondly they were utterly stupid and thirdly, they’re not as smart as they think they are!
___________________________________________
Yep…pure selfishness. No other reason whatsoever.
I said this a couple of weeks ago and stand by it. If Madeleine didn’t disappear/die/etc. what kind of life would she have? I bet the poor mite was terrified.
