If you bother reading the thread i agree with him but in a less obnoxious manner.

comments like "Bored of this child. Next" are obnoxious things to say.

And Also, it's almost 4 years ago not 2

But LMFAO at InOne: 'Bored of this child, Next!'

I don't remember writing this.

I can't imagine ever giving up on wanting to know what happened to a missing child - surely even to discover hard evidence that she is now dead would bring some sort of closure to this family, and allow them to grieve.

So, when do the parents go to prison for killing their kid?

I'm sure if there was any evidence of that, they would already be in prison.

They should accept she is dead and move on really. They're not only hurting themselves but the other kids too. Their whole life revolved around the hope that Maddie might be found, not much of a life

Nope. Maddy will be on a pedestal for ever now, you're right. But ugh.... no easy answer

But because they're middle class people we have to feel sorry for them and support them? Hmmmmmm nah. They fucked up, they have enough money to get a decent PI or whatever they want. We all know who Maddie is, bleeding iris and all. They need to get on with it and stop writing books

I agree with the middle class stuff (to a degree - I doubt murderers/kidnappers check class) and as for the books, well it does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Again though I will compare the case to Ben Needhams. Kerry (his mother) is still searching to this day. I knew the family. They lived down the road from me and honestly, you couldn't get more working class if you tried. A Mums a Mum and you want your babby. He's now in his 20's

[Angus]

Middle class, upper class, working class? What difference does that make to the loss of a child? Parents have had a child taken from them, and they have no idea whether she is alive or dead, if she is suffering or suffered - class doesn't come into it, they need answers and closure. If Maddie's mum wants to write a book as a cathartic exercise and to answer the vicious rumours and innuendoes that have been bandied about by all and sundry, then good for her. If it keeps her daughter's case in the public eye, for good or bad reasons, it can only help.

I'm as working class as they come, but I don't get where all this inverted class snobbery comes from. Ben Needham's mum and Maddie's mum share a bond no-one else can possibly imagine unless it has happened to them - they have both lost children, but hope keeps them both going. I wouldn't presume to be so judgmental about the situations they find themselves in, and some of the callous comments on this forum are despicable.

And the world has to stop for this girl why? Plenty of other missing children out there, wheres their press attention?

Shes dead get over it, with all the publicity "our little princess" gets you think shw would off been found now.

4 years ago, more intresting things happening in the world; war and poltices

I agree with you InOne, I think as I've said before there is a very unsavoury smell to this case, but I find their actions as Parents when they took the kids to Portugal then leaving them ALONE in the room to go out socially, not for a short time but likely for the evening rather odd.
My parents would never have done that with me,one would have gone and the other stayed.
Also why not at least pay a babysitter or use the minding services of the hotel.

I agree if I am digging too deep here they are likely torturing themselves as to why they didn't take more care, but would any reponsible parent/s leave their child/clildren alone in a room where they were out of sight of them at night for to go socialising.that's the question I cannot get my head around,especially even more so in a Foreign Country.

Yes but my point was by doing all that she is neglecting her other kids. They might end up growing up to resent the parents.

Well obviously Kate and Gerry are fighting for the press attention, not just accepting that the police "can't do anything else".

I agree again, they can't be oblivious to the fact that Madeline is not there but their Parents are still channeling most of their energy towards Madeline.

While that may be understandable to a degree, it must be having a knock on effect to the other Children.
I keep coming back to it though, being as attentive as they seem to be for detail, its surprising they didn't make sure all the t's were crossed and i's dotted as to Madelines and the other Childrens safety in a Foreign Country before they went out to socialise only, not go out for necessity.

I see the PM is giving the case the special attention again...

It's not fair on the other kids but I think the kids will understand when they are older.. that their older sister went missing and then they will miss them too. Of course.. not as much as the mum and dad.

I don't think the twins will remember what happened on the night because they were only 2 years old.

They might - some people can remember dramatic/violent things from a younger age.
I can remember seeing my Mum stabbing my Dad when I was trying to watch Teletubbies;

Personally I can't wait until the day one of them spots a picture of Maddie in a shopping centre window and shouts 'OMG MUMMY THERE'S THAT GIRL YOU CUT UP ON HOLIDAYS! '

The awkward silence will be gold.

Possibly. I think the twins should be involved. If they were fast asleep they probably won't remember anything.

Oh god Patrick you are scaring me now. I am surprised at the number of people who think the parents did it. I am on the fence really.. thinking of any conspiracy theory whatsoever!!
