I wonder if the people who care so much about them cared so much about Shannon Matthews and her family before the truth to that case was revealed.
Conversely I think the McCanns get more vitriol from the public directed at them because they are well off doctors. People go on about they got off on neglect charges from the authorities because of their class but I think they suffer worse from the general public perception because of it.

I think well hope, that most people feel the same for the parents of missing, murdered children irrespective of their background.
