Madeleine McCann: Child Alert, Daily Mail Knows And Fay Weldon

MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann

DAILY MIRROR: “McCanns win child alert fight MADELEINE”

Kate and Gerry McCann yesterday won their fight for an EU-wide missing child alert system, in tribute to their daughter Madeleine. A declaration supporting the couple’s plea attracted backing from at least 398 MEPs - more than half the 785 European Parliament members.

Or as the Mail said earlier in the week: DAILY MAIL: “Brussels throws out McCann’s appeal for European missing child alert system”

THE INDEPENDENT: “Cultural Life: Fay Weldon, Author”

Film
I went to see Ben Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone for Radio 3’s Saturday Review. “Emotionally disturbing” it claimed to be, with its echoes of the Madeleine McCann case, and so it was, and a welcome change from the dull, written-to-formula films that pour from major studios. If profit rather than enthusiasm is the bottom line, all you get is variations on what made a profit last year.

On it goes…

The childrens legal centre are the ones saying its wrong to leave kids home alone.

I just left this comment on the BBC…

‘I thought according to media coverage lately it was 3 ?

Is this not the case then?’

Or is it different if you are babysitting?

Do you think they will add it ?

Duncan, well there’ll be the taxi driver who picked them up and the countless HO staff that have handled them since they were handed in. And who knows, maybe a trace of Brandon….
