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…

Maria,
But it would be even better if you accept that the distance never was 60 yards, but rather about 150 yards.

i think the opposite would be more shocking.

Maria,
Your last post is making very much sense. Despite what some posters say,
I can’t help feeling that your opinion is genuine.

I think I will give that videod interview a miss having read your interesting observations.
Do the Mcs sometimes remind you of the child in the class who refuses to own up and admit their misdemeanours to the teacher, who then feels obliged to punish the entire class with a detention- i.e. the public by forcing us to watch their protestations of innocence and hear their incredible explanations until we are contorted with feelings of irritation, pity, nausea and incredulity. Probably best not to watch

I’m not very sweet!! I also think that what they did in leaving the children was wrong. But that doesn’t mean they would also have killed their child or disposed of her body to cover up the fact that she had had an accident. There is a huge chasm between the two actions:
(1) Leaving your children asleep while you dine 50, 60 yards away and check them every 30 minutes (if they did). That’s wrong, careless, irresponsible, negligent.
(2) Murdering your child or even ignoring an accident and then covering up her death, dumping her body, causing misery to your family, engaging in a worldwide hoax and financial scam and wasting HUGE amounts of police time and resources in what you know to be an absolutely fruitless search. That is a crime , or a series of crimes, of incredible magnitude. To have helped the Mcs to commit or cover up that crime would be a terrible crime in itself.
It’s certainly not because I foolishly believe that parents would never kill their child that I have doubts about what happened!!
I am simply not certain yet that there is evidence to that effect in this particular case. But the police may well have evidence. We need to wait and see. For example, I have absolutely no idea what the forensic tests results really are, or will be. They may be pretty conclusive for all I know.
To be truthful, I should be glad if it turned out to have been the parents because then there would be nobody else out there who had taken advantage of the parents’ carelessness, committed a heinous crime, got away with it and was still out there ready to strike again. That would be a relief to know. It would also mean that the months of vilification in the press had not been an added burden for traumatised parents already suffering what must be the worst possible grief, because without closure, but had been, in a sense, deserved. That would also be a relief to know.
Yes, all things considered, it would be better if there was evidence to show that the parents were guilty and charges could be brought and a conviction secured. It would be shocking to many but better than the more shocking alternative. IMO.

My ex mother-in-law was from Spain, Catalan, and swore by that popular “Lemon”
something spray. It”s very popular in Spain, Iv”e brought some back with me when I
have been to Spain. I never used it for Mosquito bites , luckily mosquitos don”t fancy my skin.!!!!
Anyway, you could try it and it”s not expensive if it doesn”t work you you. I”ts a
nice smell anyway.

jo where are you in spain ? i’ve been there along the south coast and i found it very pleasant, somewhat ethereal even in places.

Jo
Brown rain last night
Do you suffer from mozzie bites..?
I get serious fever from them, and have about 20 bites right now.
Nothing works for me. Had to inject myself daily last year, cost a packet, and i still got bitten
Do you know of any remedies
(perhaps i should write to Dr.Kate)

No disrespects, but there has been Worldwide publicity about Madeleine, there is not a
person in the World who wouldn”t have seen her photograph. After a year, sadly I don”t think Madeleine is alive and I think with all the money Metodo 3 are receiving,
they should be earning it and the public spared the almost constant reminder to look
for her.

I knew you were having a joke. I was too by posting that little shocked face. No need to justify yourself or postings to me.

This is the first real debating I have done on here for days, I checked in a couple of days ago and the topic was Knickers, then this penis thing, if you look back it was a
jokeI was having with Chenier.. Seems coolandcalm is taken up with the subject as well, so she will be able to enlighten you.

Ciara Says:
hi ciara, it’s not sunny here but at least it’s not raining. i can’t see it happening either, they always seem to find another excuse for it not too, one would hardly think it’s about their missing child. maybe they are a bit worried about getting arrested or something ?

897 Maria,
at the beginning of this story, the McCanns went to the Tapas at 9.oo pm, Gerry saw Maddy at 9.30.
The first person who arrived at Tapas was at 8.45(Payne?).
The McCanns clock went back to 8.30 and 9.o5, after JT saw the abductor at 9.15.
IMO, their first concern was to get rid of the body. That was the most important.
That is why their stories are weak. Too short time to plane everything on a perfect way.
Of course they could transport the body in a bag, a little super market car, etc.
IMO they have been helped by at least a third person.It could even have been a woman.
Why friends would cover up a crime?
Because they are probably as riff raff as the McCanns are.
Besides, they knew the McCanns could lose the twins and lose their good names, their carrieres.
And the McCanns are manipulators.
Calling an ambulance?
The accident was fatal, in my opinion.No use calling for help.
IMO they are used to manipulate and to cheat on people.
Think of their money on the Bank.
Would you have made the same?
IMO the accident was immediately fatal.

Hi, Sam. It is sunny up here but really windy too. Hope the rain stops soon down your way. No real news yet and I can’t see the reconstruction happening.

Val… the Nigerian penis thread is very interesting and educational. You should have a look.
