That's the point I was making - the McCanns have been tenacious and not given up, and they have utilised the media to keep their daughter's disappearance high profile. They have been proactive and pushy which is what you have to do to keep the momentum going.

I think its more of a case of the media taking a story and running with it, and the McCan's should take the limelight off Maddie now, its selfish

How is it selfish? Unless you're a parent you cannot begin to imagine the kind of pain they must be feeling to have lost their child. Are you suggesting they are attention seeking by trying to keep Madeleine's case in the public eye? I would do everything in my power to keep reminding the police, the public, the world, to keep looking for my child.

Its not selfish at all - shes missing!
imagine if it was one of your family members, and the limelight was being taken off them, because after 3 years they were still missing...
i dont think you'd be saying the same thing then.

The media limelight is virtually their only chance of getting new info. This comment is ridiculous and very ignorant of how parents in their position must be feeling.
