Breaking Media, Politicians & Celebrities Since 1995

The thing that brought it all home was the grandmother’s statement in today’s Mirror - “I have heard my daughter wailing like a wild animal”. The grief and horror of that poor woman, and the father and other people who know Madeleine, is something most of us thankfully will never experience.

I think people should now stop the judgements on the rights and wrongs of leaving kids. What’s done is done and the consequences are so horrific that I don’t understand how people can still be apportioning blame. Poor Madeleine, poor family. A living hell and we should feel nothing but sadness and compassion for them all, or we should start worrying about our own humanity.

Indeed. We have seen parents suffering. Enough. The focus should be on finding the girl

Agreed. Most big hotels have baby monitoring services…

I want to see the reward increased into the millions!
If everyone donated a small amount the reward would
hopefully be enough to encourage the return of this beautiful little child!

Please make this suggestion on each site you visit in the hope someone will set it up.

Just a small amount from each person who has been touched by this deplorable act
Should be enough to encourage the safe return of little Maddy MaCann!

God Bless this little Angel and her family xx

I back all that’s been said and it’s unfortunate that so much focus is on the grief stricken parents, taking their parents pictures and insult the portuguese police, who I am sure are doing their best.
Karen mentions getting psychic people involved and I say - why not? No one knows if there is something on the other side, but by God, EVERYTHING should be done. It would do no harm assigning a team of policemen to work with psychics with a proven record.

I know this is possibly stating the obvious, and there are probably thousands of emails circulating stating the very same thing, but I could not sit idly by without trying to something positive. If this mail spurs something positive to help the process of trying to find this little girl then I will have achieved something worthwhile.

I have already written to Sky News and Radio 2, simply beacuse we have seen over and over the tremendous power of the media and celebrities, i.e. film, TV, music sporting personalities. If someone were able to kick start, via contacts, a massive operation to harness as many resources as possible it would be another positive step to try and find Madeleine. It’s simply networking on a grand scale.

Surely there must be something that could be done to raise a reward sizeable enough to encourage someone to come forward with intelligence to secure her safe return. I welcomed the report of £1 million being put up by Steve Winyard. Someone must know where she is.

A phone-in switchboard could be set up and manned in Portugal, that telephone number could be emblazoned across every television screen and newspaper in Portugal and the surrounding countries, huge posters along the roadside hoardings, on the bill boards. If there is a possibility that she has been stolen to order, then publicity should spread worldwide, in the hope of picking up a lead. It’s all within the power of the media to do this.

Posters could be printed in volume and stuck in every conceivable location, shops, cars, public transport etc.

The newspapers are a great distribution network, they give away CD’s and DVD’s, they could have a good quality poster printed and give it away in the daily newspapers, asking the public to display it on their property and in their cars.

Instead of pushing her as a less newsworthy item into the inner pages, there should be a massive surge of pooled resources to keep this little girls face to the forefront of every newspaper both at home and abroad, on every television news channel at home and abroad, as much as can possibly be done could only be a good thing surely. At this late stage the only chance is to keep her high profile. Her kidnappers will not be expecting this massive outcry and show of public support.

Put out a message to them, appealing to them for her safe return, assure them that she can do them no harm, she is not a threat to them, they have no need to harm her, just leave her somewhere safe and call the police to fetch her.

I have no personal link to this family. I’m simply a mother with 3 children, one of whom is a beautiful little girl age 4. Every single thing in my daily routine makes me think of that poor child, snatched from her bed, terrified, enduring who knows what terrible ordeal. The anguish felt when a small child goes missing is indescribable……but think what that poor child must be going through right now. It’s horrifying.

Anyone who has children cannot fail to feel deeply disturbed by this dreadful situation.

Please, please if anyone reading has contacts, give these suggestions some consideration, and if you can make things happen. Anything has got to be worth a go.

NOT EVERYONE WATCHES THE NEWS OR READS THE PAPER SO WHY NOT PUT HER POSTER ON SOMEWHERE LIKE EBAY’S HOME PAGE,EBAY IS ONE OF THE MOST SHOPPING WEBSITES USED,ISNT EVERYTHING WORTH A TRY.

I agree with putting her poster on ebay and especially the comment about using the newspapers to include a poster too. Also, you would think that a switchboard could easily be set up with a facility to collect donations from people who want to help. I would certainly like to help with this sort of thing provided that we know exactly where the money ends up! This story has affected so many people that I think there is a good chance of finding resources to help track down these vile people who have Maddy. Please let her be alive and found soon so that we can all get back to some sort of normality and especially for her poor parents.

We should not judge Madeleine’s parents. We should pray and pray and pray for her safe return.

If anyone knows anything ,any little snippet of information PLEASE, PLEASE get in touch with the police.

As well as the runners on Sunday and Celtic football team lets all wear yellow this weekend.

Thoughts and prayers to all the Mc Canns.

How could the father & mother of 2 years old & 3 years old children be left alone, while they having out for drinking & dinning, how can they do this. They are the only one to blame, and they should be taken to court. I hope the child is fine, but if the worst should happen, the parents should be jail for life.

YOU ARE TO BLAME, not the portugal police, YOU

can i just say to c duarte how can u say such a thing yes they was left alone but the was less than 50 yrds away god they didnt think this would happen did they dont be so cruel for heven sakes. their little girl is missing get a heart.

Perhaps C duarte is not English. There is a huge cultural difference between child care in England and abroad. Many European parents may feel the macann’s should have had their children with them in the evening, but in England very young children eating out with their parents in the evening is rare. Young English children will often be in a routine which means they would be tired and upset if they stayed up late. C Duarte is obviously distressed by the facts but please do not apportion blame. The parents made a judgment that turn out to be disastrous but they are surely paying a terrible price already for that. I have five children and my heart goes out to the Macanns. I am sure they are blaming themselves enough already. As parents we make decisions all the time and rarely thank God do we pay such a high price for a wrong one. I do not feel the Macanns think the Portugese police are to blame for anything. Please let us stop judging and blaming everyone and instead all use our energy to pray for Maddy’s safe return.
Whenever I think of her, I send up a silent prayer and try to stay positive. That may help, criticism will not.

I agree with everything said, I have also been thinking they should get Tony Stockwell out there anything is worth a try. I have 2 children and am feeling the pain every moment along with the parents of that poor girl. I hope and pray constantly for a safe return. I think big posters just absolutely everywhere , leaflets, and newspaper coverage front page every day , never mind politics right now this is more important. lets just hope its not too late. I think the world has really united with this and that people are putting up money for her return. I want more than anything for her to be returned to her family. . xx

I am so saddened at what has happened to the McCann family. This is the worst thing that could ever happen to parents. I have a daughter and niece the same age as Maddie and I cannot and would not want to feel the pain they are going through for a split seconed.
I am hoping and praying that whoever has Maddie has some kind of a conciense and they let somebody know where she is. She needs to be with her family.
