Madeleine McCann: Selling Books, Keeping Your Child Safe And Michael Donovan
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Wearing kid gloves - In this age of multiple dangers, how do parents strike a balance between wrapping children in swaddling clothes and giving them leeway? Aine Nugent reads a new guidebook on the subject”
Clinical psychologist Paul Gilligan has penned Keeping Your Child Safe, a book that will spread anxiety and must be read ANYONE who genuinely cares about their kids. If you don’t read it, then you only have yourself to blame should something dreadful befall your children.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as nine-year-old Shannon Matthews was found safe and well. It is every parent’s worst nightmare that their child should go missing — a tragic reality that the families of Madeleine McCann and Amy Fitzpatrick are still going through.
Keeping our children safe is the first priority of parents, and the modern world has more dangers in it than it did when we were children — perhaps because we’re more aware of them. Because of developments in technology, communication has never been easier — and never more fraught with danger.
Read on if you dare…
Keeping Your Child Safe looks at the ways in which children can be put in danger, unwittingly, unintentionally, but detrimentally.
Madeleine McCann: Spreading the fear
Shannon Matthews: Michael Donovan, 39, will appear before Dewsbury magistrates court in West Yorkshire. He was arrested on March 14 after police raided a house and found the missing 11-year-old.

….”Madeleine’s parents are said to be receiving no payment for their part in the programme, with ITV instead donating £10,000.00 to the Find Madeleine Fund…..”

“I’d rather think the importance lies in the “whatever reason” rather than in the McCanns.”
Think I agree….for THEM to initiate what would amount to blackmail right from the start would necessitate it to be something really big to be certain of getting results. The flaw in that one [especially where gov/& 'agents' are concerned], is that it would be far, far too risky. They literally stop at nothing when up against the wall………Also if all the initiative in demanding help came from the McC’s side simply after an accident which needed cover-up………it would have surely taken much longer to convince and persuade……….There was something already known and potentially dangerous which G.B. recognised and acted on pronto…..no need for lengthy explanations at all ……..Why ?

We may never know what really happened, I”m sorry to say I don” think Madeleine
is still alive, and think the PJ theory that she was killed accidentally by Kate or even
a fall, is nearer the truth. did you read my post earlier, I think it”s page 25, makes interesting reading.
Anyway, I”m off now, goodnight, catch you tomorrow .

Have you noticed that Gerry was always seen carrying the boy, and Kate the girl?
Usually the other way round, and as you say they were usually asleep!!!!!
Also, what I found strange at the ttime was him reading out a prepared statement
at the Airport, couldn”t he think of a few words unscripted to say? After declaring
their innocence, he then immediately says he can”t answer any questions because of
the Portugese secrecy Laws!!!!!!!!!

I recently read and posted (sorry I can”t remember where I got the info ) that
Sheree Dodd was “replaced” because she wascritical of what was going on.

Are you sure this Mark Warner is the former gov. of Virginia?
I asked this a couple of months ago and CSN told me he wasn’t. Silly me hasn’t investigated it further.
Please tell me if you’re sure, I have to think about what crossed my mind all these months ago.

The baby listening service was out of order because there were not enough guests with children and the appartments were spread.
Think about it: two people carrying three kids… Did you ever see a picture of one of them carrying both the twins? I haven’t.
Come to think about it have a look at the return to the UK when Gerry made his statement. To me it looked as if Sean [carried by Gerry] was deep asleep all the time.

Now I’m gone [again] and won’t return until tomorrow. Bye.

I’ve always been intrigued by the fact that an offshoot of the Bell Pottinger PR agency (can’t remember name) just happened to be at MW in Praia de Luz on a “generic briefing” in the very week Madeleine disappeared.
Then, of course, Woolfall is parachuted in at around the same time that the top British diplomats in Portugal are ordered to turn up and support the McCanns; the PM and G. Brown intervene; top Labour aide Sheree Dodd is sent over to help; British millionaires (some, it might be said, with their own reasons to suck up to the Govt) pledge funds…
And, oddly, newspapers and TV stations in Britain have the news of the “abduction” long before a comprehensive search has even been made for the little girl.

Hi val
Well, of course, if they were tipsy, it would have been a bit a trudge alright. Your point waking up - of course, all adds up doesn’t it. Another thought, what good would a nanny do just listening at the door. They wouldn’t have wanted that just in case the nanny went in or raised an alarm re a strange noise inside. Seems to be carefully thought out though IMO, re the children being left in apartments.

Hi lyn,
I suspect the reason the McCanns did not use the facility was that after having a few
drinks, they would have had to trudge over to the creche to collect them, carry them back to the Apartment and probably woken them up in the process!!!!!!!! Apparently,the other service was for a Nanny to periodically listen at the Apartment
door.

No wonder Mark Warner is using the services o public relations people - advertises award winning childcare, family holidays, and adult only holidays, etc. Former Gov of Virginia too. Political chap. Something like to happen at his resort could spell end of his empire. Doesn’t make sense that a child should be abducted from his complex when it offers award childcare facilities. So, why weren’t they used by the holidaying group in the first place.Wouldn’t that have given peace of mind, and so much so that the McCanns and Tapas 9 could have enjoyed their evenings without jumping up all the time to go and check on the kids. So, there was a cover-up IMO.

Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.

A very depressing summing up but it’s substantially true. Interesting post…

“The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
Yes, but doesn’t that also depend on whether one wants to believe what is told? Or whether one thinks it important enough to question it?
And isn’t it true that the 80/20 [or even 90/10] rule also applies to independant thinking/questioning things?
Otherwise we’d be all working for the police/analysts at cancer laboratories/astronauts etc.

It’s a fine line I must admit. At the level of huge corporations they’re almost in bed with the government anyway.
I think I mean that government is usually some kind of state secret thing (like Dr Kelly for instance) whereas corporate cover up is usually some kind of controversial thing that will cost the company millions or billions.

i understand your distinction between government cover up and corporate cover up.
but what’s the difference?

the energy/drugs/media industries have them in their pocket.

Here’s part of a Bell Pottinger Press Release:
Alex Woolfall adds: “Bell Pottinger is serious about the business of issues planning and crisis response. It is second to none in helping clients to plan for,defend against and then recover and revive their brands from damaging situations. I look forward to playing my part in the development of our proposition and our client base.”
Alex was previously Managing Director of Issues and Crisis Management at Hill & Knowlton, heading a team of seven, and oversaw its media training business. Alex provided issues and crisis counsel, as well as training and preparedness programmes for a wide range of clients across multiple industry sectors.
His experience covers product contamination and sabotage; death and serious injury in the workplace; redundancy, administration and Chapter 11 announcements; regulatory breaches and fines; sex discrimination and whistle-blowing cases; fraud and theft; pension fund deficits; use of child labour; medical negligence and a wide range of other controversial issues.

His expertise does NOT seem to fit advising parents of a missing toddler.
