Find Madeleine McCann On Facebook
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
SAY the McCanns: “We strongly support and encourage this new initiative to use Facebook to increase awareness of missing children.”
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you will know that children go missing.
Although not if you’re watching the TV news of reading the newspapers because Madeleine McCann is no longer in the mass media.
But the campaign has not been in vain. She is on a press release.
And the better news is that no children have gone missing in the past few weeks. We look through the mainstream press every day. It’s a fact. But what of life on the internet?
The statement goes on: “Using the power of social media in this way will undoubtedly capture the attention - and hopefully the help - of a younger population who are a hugely valuable and resourceful group.
“We would urge the millions of Facebook users around the world to keep looking and to do what they can to help bring these children home.”
Missing People has set up a widget for Facebook users to download, which will mean information on current appeals will be displayed on their homepage.
Says missing People Chief Executive Paul Tuohy: “If every Facebook user downloaded our BT-powered application, millions of people internationally could see an appeal that could help us to reunite a family.”
Because BT cares…

1070-….I’m only asking one question, not 40 and you haven’t answered it….or is that insult your answer?
Mods and Admin
whoops, Maria’s style of writing has caused some conflict with other users in the past, and a lot of people simply bypass her posts as she tends to let her thoughts ramble on, she doesn’t back up any statements she does make with sources, despite many requests from us to do so, she finds it too much trouble - well they are her posts and if she cannot be bothered, why on earth should any one else? Also right in the middle of a post she is telling us of her last or next meal, then she goes.

Bad weather today down South , I saw on tv and my sister phoned and was complaining. Hope your son is okay and yes, the weather wouldn’t have helped. Better luck next time. I’m sure he’ll move on and do well next time.

Simple question-Why are you so aggressive in your posts to her? She doesn’t treat you with aggression whether she agrees with you or not and I think she has Madeleine’s best interests at heart.

not to worry, i have seen the video, and yes usually transcripts do look a lot weirder that the spoken form, so i can imagine :), not so much gibberish but a lot of you knows and ermms, which is what i meant when i said i did think she would be more articulate than that.

No. There is a MUCH wider definition of “infanticide” than the one you give, which applies specifically in the UK under the Infanticide Act.
—————————–
Then cite it.
Claiming that something exists without any citation to substantiate it simply suggests that you are incapable of substantiating it.
I quoted from the Law Commission Report in 2006 which specifically discusses the problems with the existing legislation on infanticide; if you wish to claim that the Law Commission doesn’t know what it is talking about then provide some evidence to support your claim.
Madeleine was not an infant; it logically follows that no-one could commit infanticide on her.
As far as I am concerned the most important thing is to find out what happened to Madeleine.
It is only when that has been achieved that we can begin to think about what comes next.
I don’t care about the McCanns’ emotional posturing, and I don’t care about your emotional posturing; I regard it as sanctimonious humbug.
I do care about achieving justice for a small child who had the right to be cared for…

Lots of people have made unfortunate errors, I don’t remember this case ever being referred to as a homicide case, by any official source.
no, the only inference to that is the reasoning given of the granting of arguido status to the mccanns. i am not sure what the reason given is concerning that of robert murat is, possibly the same.

“bothered” NOT “bovvered”!!!!!!!!!!! Really! can’t you look up words in the dictionary?!
(Oh sorry! Just noticed you did spell it right earlier on in the post!)
The lady (?) just likes to be argumentative for the sake of it, I think, and to show she’s got a row of books…well, A book anyway! AND the net!
I really must buy myself another book some time! Must be wonderful to be educated! Wonder if chenier could recommend one….???!!!!!
MUST switch off. Good night.

‘When Amaral ceased to be head of the investigation did you not notice something? ;)’
no, tell me, i have not been following this absolutely faithfully, have taken weeks out or even months. what i think about amaral though is that he is implicated in a case which looks extremley dodgy to say the least and i think at the time it might’ve been considered politic to remove him because of that and to redo the investigation as best as possible to make sure what was done was correct and above board should it go to court.

No. There is a MUCH wider definition of “infanticide” than the one you give, which applies specifically in the UK under the Infanticide Act. I’m happy to use the words “murder” or “kill” instead, though, if you prefer them.
Anyway, you seem to be searching for reasons to excuse the act of killing Madeleine, at least if it was Kate who carried it out. There isn’t any evidence whatsoever about her state of mind being disturbed on a long term basis. If there were, I presume the twins wouldn’t be with her now. Of course, temper loss itself might be considered as disturbing the balance of one’s mind, but the other problems which occur most commonly during the first year after giving birth would not apply to KM anyway. All the stuff you wrote is somewhat irrelevant, in this particular case, I think.
In any case, there is STILL the cover-up etc. etc. etc. to consider. But have it your own way! If they are guilty, it’s probably not guilty of anything much! Happy?
Personally, I shall continue to believe, in my perverse and mistaken way, that, if they are guilty, it is of very serious offences indeed. Intrinsically evil, in fact.
In any case, I am really not very interested in a war of words. I’m not a lawyer so might very well use an incorrect term.
Surely the crucial thing is….what happened to Madeleine? Do her parents know? Did one of them kill her? Was there an accident that they tried to cover up? Did one or both of them dump her body? Do the other tapas friends know? Did they make up the abduction story? Did they quite deliberately set in motion (or allow friends and family to do so) a massive financial scam? Have they defrauded thousands of generous people? Have they fooled everyone who knows them personally? Have they wasted incredible amounts of police time etc?
These things seem to me to be evil and I remain very happy with that word. It would be for the courts to decide the degree of the Mcs’ culpability in law and for God (if there is one) or their own conscience to decide their personal culpability.
That’s if they are guilty, of course……
Looking things up on the net or in a big book and quoting them does NOT prove anything. I think you just like to argue with anything I say. If I were to suggest that poor Kate does not deserve to be treated harshly for killing Madeleine, or covering up her death…..I suspect you would argue with that too!!
………………..gone!

Maria
your posts are extremely emotional at times, and you do use words in their general meaning, colloquial if you like, as most of us do here. . It could be your habit of saying what you think may have happened, and then you say maybe it didn’t and how you would react if that were so.So much so that someone thought you were vehemently anti McCann.
But I cannot help noticing Chenier’s very precise use of language, she says exactly what she means without ambiguity or other confusion. Perhaps she is a lawyer? It might be noted that lawyers may well be speaking soon in connection with this case, if it is subjudice then we shall not know much until judgement. But it will clarify beyond all misunderstanding the events in PDL in early May last year

I think Chenier knew exactly what you meant-a bit of disingenuity creeping in maybe from her-no doubt I’ve spelt that wrong and will be toldthatI can’t even be bothered to look up the correct spelling, but do you know….’I’m not bovvered.’
—————————————–
Maria chose to post at length about things she had found in her dictionary; I was merely pointing out that, had she bothered to look up infanticide in her dictionary as well, she would not have made such an unfortunate error.
And had she bothered to do a few moments research on infanticide itself, once she had discovered what it means, she would have realised that her claims about what the Courts think of it were also utter nonsense…..

i honestly don’t know. do we actually know what the findings are ? i think we know that the dna results are not conclusive or something like that, i’m not sure how such relates to smearing and breaching, nor am i sure about the veracity of such or the source o f the statements.

of course not, i did say for instance. who, for instance, do you think could’ve leaked information to the press when it concerned the hired vehicle checks ?

Maybe - Like the rest of us about this case - but surely its not about gerry & kate - its abot Madeleleine - and what happened to her … Maybe …
