I never thought that the parents themselves had anything to do with disappearance of Madelaine - and I hope that they didn't, but somehow I doubt we will ever know. I do find it odd that they went jetting off to Rome to meet the Pope - sorry, but whether they are Catholic or not, there's no way I would want to leave my other two children, in their situation.

And would a single parent, or working class parents have received the same treatment? Highly unlikely.
Definitely not. If the child of a single parent or working class parents has a simple accident and goes to A&E, health workers will speculate...
