I agree with you here Annie.

I have myself moved, after listening to the arguments on both sides over the years on here, more to negative thinking on the Parents.

My thoughts also go to the other children who were deprived of their Sister.

Not being able to get to know her and grow up with her.

It's a very sad story however I can't get round leaving children alone in another Country for any reason myself.

It's tragic but tragic for Madeline as no one yet knows and maybe never will know, what trauma that young child went through.
