Shannon Matthews, Madeleine McCann And Haut De La Garenne
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
EVENING STANDARD: “MAN HELPING IN SEARCH SHANNON MATTHEWS ‘CRUCIFIED’ JUST YARDS FROM MISSING GIRL’S HOME”
A man helping in the search for missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews is believed to have been crucified outside his house just yards from the nine-year-old’s family home.
Police are investigating the alleged assault of a 43-year-old man who neighbours claim was nailed to a wooden cross through his hands on Sunday night, and some locals claim the attack is related to the hunt for the missing girl.
And the McCanns?
Meanwhile, the McCanns, whose daughter Madeleine disappeared from their holiday apartment in the Algarve last May, have pledged their support to Shannon’s parents.
Writing in his personal online blog, Gerry McCann, said he and his wife Kate were praying for her safe return.
“No matter what has happened to Shannon, there is no doubt she is extremely vulnerable,” he added. “We hope she is found safe and well soon and returned to her family.”
Will the McCanns be called upon to comment on every missing child?
YORKSHIRE POST: “Agencies face abuse inquiry in wake of body find”
Police are searching a former children’s home Haut de la Garenne where they discovered a child’s skull. Police are now searching six more sites at the building now used as a youth hostel.
Police are using Eddie, who works with South Yorkshire Police as an “enhanced victim recovery dog”.
Eddie is said to have picked up traces of missing Madeleine McCann in the back of a car which her parents hired five weeks after she disappeared.

I’m not surprised - it’s been a day of horrible revelations.
We all knew that child abuse was being covered-up in care homes - but I don’t think any of us thought the kids were being murdered.
And to think the social work departments had the nerve to be taking kids from their parents in Rochdale and Orkney at the same time as their children’s homes seemed to be exclusively staffed by paedos.

Are you referring to paedophilia? If so, yes. And loads of people being arrested for child pornography on Internet.

From what I can see in the Wikipedia entry, the Paedophile Information Exchange (which appears to have been an association, not a place) was legal but I can’t see anything to suggest that paedophilia itself was. I would imagine that the association was legal because there was no legislation on the subject at the time.

I think there was 2 Scottish types.
Seymour who evolved into Harry and Soothsayer who evolved into Gandolf - but then Sledge would occasionally use some of Harry’s catch phrases, so I got confused.
And there are no Harry types around anymore.

alright everyone? Another quiet day I see. Work for me is still hectic which is a bummer but I guess i’m not missing much. Can’t wait for it to heat up again. Does anyone think it will or is it practically over now? Do you think the McConns will now become celebrity sympathy givers? Lost your dog? Don’t worry the mcConns, for a small charge, pray for you and send you a sympathy card. I’d like to send a card back to them telling them they can stuff their prayers so far up their arses that the sun don’t shine no more.

Are there any news about the rogatory letters? Have they been sent to the Home Office or not? I’ve been away for a while but it looks like nothing much has happened.
On the Amaral trial issue, that has been discussed here, I would just like to make a few clarifications.
I understand that Amaral will stand trial for allegedly covering up for his men who are accused of using undue force when questionning a woman (Leonor Cipriano) who was actually convicted for killing her daughter (Joana Cipriano).
The court however will not re-open the case of Leonor Ciprian (because they do believe that she did kill her daughter and all evidence indicates that she is guilty), but want nonetheless to assess if undue force was used or not in the interrogation by the Amaral team.
Under portuguese law a confession of a crime in a police interrogation session will not directly result in a guilty verdict. The confession is included in the police files that are passed on to the Prosecution Magistrate with the results of the investigation. The magistrate decides if and how to press charges, and only once charges are pressed the suspect will stand trial and will eventually confess to committing those crimes. He/she may however decide not to confess and claim at that time that he/she was subject to torture.
Abuse of force unfortunately is not uncommon around the world. However, the portuguese judicial system (that effectively requires the confession to be testified before a judge) will in the majority of cases (such as Cipriano) prevent that abuse of force and confession will result in wrong convictions.
Allow me to establish a paralell with systems that do not have this safeguard. You may have watched Panorama last night about accusations of torture faced by British forces in Iraq. In the british case, the excessive force used in interrogations (sometimes also called torture and in breach of martial law and international conventions) seems to have generated 3 innocent civilian men to be tortured and wrongly arrested for involvement in the murder of british soldiers. They continue to protest their innocence and are now trying to seek remedy through compensation. It was established by the British military that torture was used in those cases and that these civilians would very likely not have been involved in any criminal activity.
Hope this helps clarify some of the suggestions made that Leonor Cipriano was innocent but that because of Amaral she was sentenced to jail. That is simply not true.

I think in the 1970s there was a split between the public, the press and the police - who all hated child abusers.
And the left-wingers who thought anything hated by the public, the press and the police had to have it’s good points.

In the 60’s there was a lot of hypocrisy still and things hidden away, known about but not discussed, the 70’s blew a gale through all the old social mores and brought all the nasty side of humanity out in the open. There was a load of bollox still about paedos, but the only good thing was it was dragged out into the light of day, and prosecutions started to happen.
Even in my youth (late 60’s) if a girl became pregnant she was wrong, not the boy as well, just her. In fact even then if a delivery was complicated because the child was illegitimate there was no obligation to aid the mother to deliver.

I dont know about the otehrs, didnt really ‘talk’ to them, but he isnt Harry Hindsight - not got the wit (’wit’ as in ‘intelligence’). Dont forget we do know he is a retired squaddie.

The article I read was about P.I.E. - and also there was a documentary on Channel 4.
Someone from the Paedophile Information Exchange wrote an article for a social work magazine in the 1970s about how intimate relations between adult men and young boys was good for them because it stopped them being aggressive and it wasn’t questioned.

Good point. As I may have said before, if I were in charge of the McCanns ’spin’[ I’d have taken firm control of all public ‘gateways’. Gerry’s blog would have been number 1, as its a vital route to the public.
So one has to ask, is this the case - are we seeing just what Clarence wants us to see? If it is, then he wanted the clash of time (9:10 Gerry saw Madeleine for the last time, 9:10 Tanner saw abductor. So is the intention to ‘prove’ they werent ‘clock watching’ or to devalue the Tanner timing?
If it is not Clarence in control, is this a sign of who is actually in control in team McCann?

Don’t recall anything of that kind in the 70s. I lived in England until 1977.

karen is right, i remember the notw exposing a place called the paedophile information exchange,which was legal at the time.
as i remember sydney cook was a member before he got life for rape and murder.
there were loads of dutch psychologists supporting them as well.
