won't help matters for whom exactly? for Madeleine? The McCanns have done their utmost to keep this on the front pages, vis having one campaign manager, then another... it is in their interest for this story to be kept in the public eye. If everyone forgot about it, and this was relegated to a non-story, same as is the case for all the other currently missing children that don't get one column inch in this country, they wouldn't be happy at all.
We all make mistakes, we all do things as parents that we regret... some get punished, others don't...
I made the 'mistake' of ending my marriage when my daughter was one, even if it was the right thing to do at the time - Six years later revenge is being exacted upon me by her mother, hence I haven't been allowed to see my daughter for 9 months now, and counting...
My point is that the punishment doesn't always fit the crime in life, least of all as a parent... and no-one knows for 100 certainty what crime if any the McCanns are guilty of... |

It would be much better to get it out of the UK press.
Searching for the girl or her body
can go on forever
and the Public do not want it on Front pages
paper sales are down because of it.
Many others have had children taken from them
but they are not Catholic middle class white folk. |

| Isn't that the point ... no one knows. Except for maybe those that took part in this terrible tragedy. Speculation is rife and I don't think that it is helping anyone and certainly not Maddie. |

| Interesting too, if newspaper sales really are down because of this particular case. Is this correct, LT, or are they just down and folks suppose it`s down to the McCann story? |
