Shannon Matthews, Madeleine McCann And Haut De La Garenne

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.

A DEDICATED fundraising appeal has been set up to support the search for Shannon Matthews.
Now, as the search for the nine-year-old enters its second week, cash is needed to keep the voluntary effort going.
Shannon’s uncle, Neil Hyett, said: “We didn’t want to be seen to be begging. But it has come to the point now where we have to do this. People round here don’t have money but they have been dipping deep into their own pockets.”
Mr Hyett said the cash would be used to generate publicity, cover volunteers’ expenses, and to pay for public meetings.
“None of it will be going to the family, it will all help the campaign.”

To all those who don’t believe in group evil and group concealment of evidence - look at Jersey. How on earth could this have gone on? How could fragile vulnerable children have disappeared in the care of a local authority and no-one cared enough to investigate? We can’t really be too judgemental about the Portuguese paedophile children’s home scandal, can we, when it has happened on our own doorstep? But then, here in the UK we have a dreadful record when it comes to children in care. What about the child abuse in convents etc? Sends shivers down my spine.
