Is it time they stop or what?

£11 million spent so far

Now they've just come up with another £154k

270,000 people a year in UK go missing.

Why have her parents not been charged with negligence and everyone else can stop providing these media hungry vultures with attention.

It's been 10 years.

It's shocking they still have custody of their other children!! Giving them access to more funds it's just outrageous ..........

I believe it is ...... but I'm saying that simply because I doubt there will ever be a successful outcome in the determination of what happed to the girl ....

We've reach a point where her parents understandable reluctance to accept the inevitable is prolonging a process that will not provide closure....

This latest event needs to be the last

I find it strange that more money is being spent on this case but not on other cases of missing children. I doubt we will ever know what happened to her anyway.

The other missing kids aren't middle class blue eyed and blonde

The newspapers should have funded the search seeing as they profit so much from rehashing the story and tax payers money should be spent equally on all missing and murdered kids

I don't think I would ever give up looking for a child of mine that went missing.

But then again I wouldn't be using all the media attention to cover up my guilt!!!

That money could have been spent on much better things.

I find it strange that people that are supposed to be well educated could do what they did. If they'd been ordinary people they would have had social services crawling all over them.

No they're not!! They have over inflated egos, no common sense and think they are above everyone else including the law in this case. In my hubble, uneducated, working class opinion.

Ben Needham disappeared on Kos in 1991 after being left unattended outside by his grandparents at the age of 21 months. His mother is "ordinary" whatever that means and as part of the on going investigation a site was dug up last year. His mum also used significant dates to bring his disappearance to the public eye

I think people claim that no money is spent on other missing children without checking first to see if it's true.

If one of my children went missing I would never stop looking until the day I died.

I'm not sure if you're response refers to the McCanns or educated affluent people?

I've no idea why class (a dated concept) would enter this discussion.

A child is unaccounted for and most of us are basing our opinions on what the media has told us.

I believe all of us would do whatever it takes and however much it cost to recover their child.

It's unfair to ask them to look at it objectively...they can't, and I understand that.

It's now been established that it's very likely Ben Needham died in a digger accident on the day he disappeared and was buried by the digger driver who is now dead. Strangely there hasn't been anyone shouting "why was he left to play alone when there was heavy plant working in the area"

If my child went missing I would also look until I died.

The serious flaw in police work is that a murder case is never opened on a missing child which in effect means either low level detectives are assigned a case or uniform branch and a basic search is carried out, if after 72 hours nothing I found the parents or carers are main suspects and in all honesty that is how a case remains - forever - the police try to make it sound more important but in reality that is it.

200 000 children go missing in the UK each years, take away parents abduction, found and other cases we are still talking about a substantial number of cases that are never solved, no extra money is ever allocated to missing children unless you raise it yourself, get publicly or have government contacts.

The first 3 hours are crucial to finding a child.

If a crime isn't solved in 24 hours the probability of success diminishes substantially until 72hours when the chance of success is measure in single digit percentage

I woukd beg to differ that some of your information is factually incorrect...certainly about the level of searches and investigation, which is based on threat assessments not speculation.

200000 children go missing....but not all of them go unaccounted for. The vast majority are simply enduring their troublesome teenage years and return home. Some are obviously subject to sexual exploitation. We all have a duty to protect our communities children, not vilify those we feel like blaming and judging I believe.

Actually there was many paper stories of morality about that case although technically nothing like the McCann's, his mother left him with her grandparents while she went to work.

The grandparents were renovating the house they lived in but the heavy plant machinery was actually next door not in their property, he had been playing in the garden coming in and out while the grandparents were busy, it was remote and the garden fairly secure, they made reasonable assumptions that unfortunately proved unlucky.

That's not even remotely similar to leaving two year old twins and a four year old alone in an unlocked apartment when you go out to dinner

The whole case stinks. My only sympathy lies entirely with the little girl missing.

Her father is narcissism epitomised, in its purest and most evil form. Hence he has to keep dragging it though the news and lumping huge amounts of cash at it.

I live in eternal hope the mother will crack one day and then her girls memory can be put to rest properly.

I could go on forever about this, but I won't

But what of the thousands of kids who go missing on our own soil and abroad without fanfare each year? A 30 second clip on local news then a couple of weeks searching and then case closed?

Where’s the justice? Where is their continued funding 10 years later? In a supposedly equal society why are some people treated so differently to others?

Ten years and £11 million later and still no sign of her. I’m not saying they should stop searching or the funding, providing they give other grieving families exactly the same financial support and man hours.

I can’t help wondering what the outcome would have been had this happened to a working class couple holidaying in Blackpool?

270,000 people don't go missing and stay missing tho. The vast majority are missing for less than 24 hours and go missing intentionally, they are reported missing as a matter of procedure rather than out of fear they have come to any harm. As for Mandy McCann I believe she was already dead prior to being reported and the parents know exactly what happened to her.

There are something like 14 hours worth of studies on YouTube about the evidence, forensically examined by an expert, I havnt seen it all but I know some good detectives that have studied it and all believe the evidence points directly at the parents having a hand in her disappearance/death, either accidental or not. These studies arn't based on media stories, it's based on written statements, interviews, body language, public appeals etc etc.

I believe the McCanns are guilty of covering up her death yes, I don't believe they are being protected from prosecution tho, I believe that will come eventually. An investigation is as much about proving something didn't happen as much as proving it did. The YouTube stuff I referred to is an analysis of everything the McCanns have ever said, whether it's written, public appeals or interviews. It's basically one persons theory based on their own study of the evidence, not evidence in itself if you get me.

Yes being a doctor they should be more than fully aware how little time is required for 2 year old twins and a 4 year old sleeping alone in an unlocked apartment is needed to get into medical problems.

Does being well off matter?.

Yes and no, being well off means they could have afforded baby sitters or at the very least the free baby listening services on offer.

Does being educated make a difference?.

Yes your even more at fault for ignoring what you know than somebody who's just ignorant, although ignorance is no defence of the law, it's certainly a mitigating factor for willfulness

Police are fucked if they have to take on the finely honed PR machine. I suspect keeping the investigation alive is a far better option than the negative implications of calling it a day.

I think they were wrong to leave 3 young children alone in the holiday appartment.

Prosecuting them now would achieve nothing though and they are punished everyday because Maddy has gone.

There doesn't seem to be much evidence either way about anything else. I have read the police files aswell as reading/viewing other information too.

Their lives must be awful with a child missing. I pity them. I pity the twins.

I don't think we will ever know what happened although i wish we did know.

They've been punished enough?.

No, somebody's apparent remorse is not punishment although it can be mitigating towards the level of punishment!.

The law protects that 4 year old girl from her own parents just as much as a paedophile, just because the paedophile showed great remorse does not mean the law or any investigation is sidelined

For me the big question relates to the funding rather than the parents. Basically, how much does the Police spend investigating crimes against UK citizens in foreign countries and how do they decide which ones to investigate and which ones to leave to the local police?

Just as an example, there's the recent story of a girl who 'jumped' to her death from a balcony of a hotel room in Spain after she walked into a room full of single guys who were full of drink and drugs. Why aren't they also investigating this case (and many many others)

Prosecuting them now for child neglect wouldn't help Maddie. It would harm the twins though.

A private prosecution for child neglect was brought against them years ago but it failed.

I am certain that they would have been checked over by Leicestershires Safeguarding Team at the time and also since.

I'm not standing up for them at all, I feel that if there is some evidence against them then it would have come to light by now. I have read the police files aswell as many other articles.

There is no way an incident of ths nature would not have raised a safeguarding review, the reality is though that the twins would never have been taken in to care on the basis of being left alone.

"Police are fucked if they have to take on the finely honed PR machine. I suspect keeping the investigation alive is a far better option than the negative implications of calling it a day.

IMO because of the amount of media coverage of this case, there is a lot of public interest, opinion and pressure to solve this case. Every single detail comes under intense scrutiny to make sure it cannot be disputed in any way by an impartial jury. But everybody has their own opinion already so would not be impartial.

With so many people watching this case with passion, dare they risk sentancing 2 innocent people to prison for 25 to life. Or if they are guilty and get imprisoned, can you imagine what the security costs would be to ensure they were protected from other prisoners, and the consequences of either of them being victims of violence whilst in prison, becoming public knowledge.

A confession gained through torture is not and never will be admissible as evidence in a British court. That's the law. Did you however know that information or corroborated evidence gained via torture in a country where torture is legal is admissible?

We are both professional people too (Mr a teacher Mrs a sister) not that being educated makes a difference to common sense, I feel bad for Maddie’s siblings and poor Maddy. If she was truly abducted I feel for her parents, but do also truly feel they were negligent in their care towards their children.

There's no shame in having an opinion, not based on the sun newspaper which isn't sold round these here parts but based on cold hard facts or lack thereof. Try doing some research and then come back when you have a bit of knowledge about it rather than just jumping on a misinformed bandwagon. Having said that, you are entitled to your opinion as are the rest of us but that doesn't make either side of the fence right or wrong. If I thought for one minute that girl was out there to be found I'd be out there fundraising myself, just as I did around the time it happened but my opinion has changed in time.

Actually there was many paper stories of morality about that case although technically nothing like the McCann's, his mother left him with her grandparents while she went to work.

"Why would you leave the door unlocked with two kids unsupervised and go for dinner.

why do humans make stupid mistakes?

That's not a stupid mistake. A stupid mistake is leaving the iron on or leaving the lights on in your car.

They didn't forget they had 3 children to take care of, they didn't forget that they took them on holiday, they didn't forget that they left them in the apartment so that they could enjoy a child free dinner with their friends.

The trouble is when the narrative is pushed they use words like, "silly mistake" and "punished enough" this then becomes endemic in societies perceptions of the case to the point where they actually start believing it!!.

Alan Bennett brother of murdered Keith Bennett is still looking for his brother after nigh on 60 years. I know Alan and his determination is inspiring and unwavering. Never see him in the papers banging on about injustice. He lost faith in the media years ago.

The police stopped searching. But the case is still open.

Then there is little April Jones. I visit the estate she lived on in Machynlleth regularly. I see her mum and it's heartbreaking. She's has the stuffing knocked out of her, yes April was murdered but Al they had was bone fragments.

What many people seem to be saying is that the search for a missing child should be stopped because it was the parents fault and it costs too much.

Utter stupidity and negligence in my opinion. I still don't think its reason enough to stop looking for her.

I think it is foolish to believe that all other missing children cases get forgotten about so easily, it's just they aren't driven by such a major publicity machine. That's the difference with this one.

I have my views on the parents and the choices they made that evening and I do believe that they would be vilified if they werent a Dr and a nurse. I also have theories about what happened that night based on information I have read.

That being said I think that people on here are right. No one would give up looking for a child if it was theirs.

If there are genuine leads then of course the investigation should continue. But after 10 years, no arrests, no new information and on the face of it no real progressever having been made you have to question just where that money is going? Surel every possible avenue has been exhausted now?

I'm not sure about anybody else but if I thought for one minute she was alive I wouldn't complain if billions was spent searching for her. I believe she died that night so any search is futile and I also believe the parents know that too and they know exactly what happened to her.

I'm not being rude but it doesn't matter what you believe, it matters what the police believe. Either they believe they can find her or her body or there is pressure being exerted from somewhere.

I do know that people still come forward claiming to have seen a child they believe to be her.

You're right, it doesn't matter what anybody believes about absolutely anything but as with all forums people add their own opinions and beliefs and they're all entitled to them. I merely replied to what you posted, I havnt read one post that said they shouldn't look for the girl because her parents are to blame.

True, I guess they are but I believe that their status has protected them from much much worse.

That's the nature of forums and discussion in general, no? The exchange of opinions.

My opinion is that many people have implied that money is being wrongly spent on looking for a child who went missing at the age of four because her parents are responsible and if they admitted it the money wouldn't need to be spent.

.

It's slightly farcical now, the police will (bless them) chase anything if it requires a week in the Algarve, they've interviewed hundreds of so called "witnesses" , re-examined hundreds of pieces of forensic evidence, been all over Europe, named countless "potential culprits" who were "likely" or "known" to be in the area..... And yet not even enough for a single arrest?..

Just need another £150,000 as we have another "new" lead, they've interviewed everybody except the only two people ever arrested on suspicion of it, funny that, not even arrested them for the very obvious and self confessed crime of neglect in which a 4 year old girl has vanished.

The only person let down in this Saga is Madeleine McCann

"Is it time they stop or what?

£11 million spent so far

Now they've just come up with another £154k

270,000 people a year in UK go missing.

Why have her parents not been charged with negligence and everyone else can stop providing these media hungry vultures with attention.

It's been 10 years.

Yep agreed. This murder is linked to the highest levels of government, and elswhere too. Tony Blair sent his top media manipulator out there within a day or two, which is incredibly odd, and the money that was generated is freaking ridiculous. And it was all spent by the McCanns on various farsical agencies etc. I dont know what happened exactly, but I suspect that Maddy was being routinely used by a high level paedophile ring, WITH her parents consent, and finally killed either deliberately or accidentally, and then covered up at the highest levels.

I think that's all very far fetched and highly unlikely. I think she'd died by accident and the parents concocted the abduction story to protect themselves, I don't think she was murdered. But it's all just conjecture and personal opinion isn't it. I'd love to be proved wrong I really would.

You can guess, surmise, propose theories, believe in conspiracies or whatever you want, but in truth you do not know what occurred.

We can make up whatever we want about this, possibly even believe in it, but in reality we know nothing.

and "publication"

A defamatory statement is not actionable unless it is published. Unfortunately for webmasters, when libel lawyers say "published", they mean communicated to one person (not including the person defamed). You can libel someone by writing about them on a personal blog, providing at least one person accesses the defamatory material.
