Evidently you do not. I must say though that I am concerned about donations flooding in to a company limited by guarantee ...
A company limited by guarantee is an alternative type of incorporation used primarily for non-profit organisations that require corporate status. A guarantee company does not have a share capital, but has members who are guarantors instead of shareholders. The guarantors give an undertaking to contribute a nominal amount towards the winding up of the company in the event of a shortfall upon cessation of business. It cannot distribute its profits to its members, and is therefore eligible to apply for charitable status if necessary.
I know that the nominal amount that directors of EB4U - another company limited by guarantee - is £1.00 - or least-ways that was the nominal amount stipulated when the company was set up. |

| What I fail to understand is WHY a Fund (charity by any other name) has to be set up for a search for a missing child to be continued! A child is missing, the search should continue until the child is found, or forensic evidence to end the search. |

Fund to keep them in that country, maybe.
That couple could have used a Sitter from that Hotel.

And of course the sitter is above reproach. Are they vetted? Hold any qualifications? Any first aid training? It gets to the point where who can you trust with your children? On vacation should you let them sleep in another room or with you, how much freedom can they have? Using a hotel sitter or even the hotel child clubs all have risks, how far would you risk your childs safety now....... |

They should have used her.
Leaving the kids Alone was very wrong. |

Yes LTNS ... they should have ... They didn't. What has that to do with the search for her now or the Madeleine fund? |

I think they may have chosen not to trust the sitter. In that case, they should have taken the children with them, or dined in their own rooms. Most Mediterranean countries have a different attitude to children from ours in the UK.
I don`t know about that particular restaurant, but if young children weren`t welcome there there`d have been others where they would be.
We took four fosterlings to Crete when they were aged between 2 and 8. We were regulars with them at the same taverna for our evening meal. Other folks there, Greeks, Germans, Dutch and Belgian, were friendly and tolerant of the youngsters` presence. One night, my cousin and her teenage daughter took the kids to their neighbours` for the evening, and Hubby and I went to the taverna and dined alone....that was the only time we got any dirty looks - outright scowls from some Greek and German folks who thought we`d left the kids behind - until we explained where they were.
The other option for parents who want a break from little ones, is take their holiday alone together and leave the tots at home with grandparents.
