Easier said than done for a mother and father to just "get over" their daughter going missing and never having closure, though.

Kinda like when you are warned by police that drawing attention to a rare eye defect could lead to your (hopefully) alive child being killed as easily identifiable..but you chose to do it anyway as its a 'good marketing ploy' The mind boggles tbh Anyway, this won't be Madeleine. Sadly there is no chance she will be alive and happy..living a normal life after all of this time.

Its not as if those who believe something more sinister went on are just ignoring all real evidence or anything, like 911 truthers and that

Yep, just when I thought this place couldn't get any more ridiculous people choose not to read or look at presented evidence and simply cherry pick the things that sound the most commonsensical because omg how could things possibly be any different, we must accept everything at face value
Oh wait, that's what always happens |

Every thread seems to turn into a race thread these days

To be honest I'd say it's other people's problem if they take 'missing white girl syndrome' to be exclusively about race, even moreso after its definition has now been explained on several occasions
Just proves people don't read... Last edited by Jack_; 09-03-2016 at 11:13 PM. |

I hope this isn't at me, I knew exactly what you meant even before you had to explain it

It's a tough one, morally. Kids (especially older kids / teens) are not the possessions of their parents and forcibly removing them from a safe, loving home that's the only home they've ever known would probably be hugely traumatic. In the best interests of the child... If you find them somewhere where they are safe, healthy and happy then approaching the situation very softly would be the only real option for me. Sadly I think many parents would feel it would be their "right" to "take" their child back, rip them away and not even consider the consequences. |

For me there would be no question of her staying with the new 'family', they wouldn't have obtained her under any legal method would they?

Even if the people they are found with are their actual abductors, the safest thing to do would be for them to be taken into care (with the abductors kept far away from them, hopefully in jail) but still allow them access to their friends etc. and have the biological family come into the situation slowly and carefully - so that they are a 3rd party, and never the ones thought of as having "taken them away". Edited to add: If their abductors have treated them well / raised them like their own child, you also have to accept that there's a very high likelihood that the child does - and always will - love them like parents and may well decide to have them in their life in adulthood.

Well there was another case (it was a film I watched actually which I think was based on a true story) where a toddler was snatched by this woman who'd lost her own baby, she got married and the boy was raised by this woman who abducted him and the "step father" who naturally just took for granted that the boy was his wife's biological child. The "mother" died and so the boy was then raised by his step dad who was completely un aware that things weren't above board and then the boy was "found" when he was about 10 years old. It goes through the heart ache from all involved and how the boy wanted to stay with his step dad etc

...just to change it slightly and I know that I'm probably going to be alone in my thoughts on this, but when Madeleine first went missing and many of the public felt that Gerry and Kate should have been charged with neglect etc...I personally think that would have been the worst thing to have happened for the twins...as a parent, I will never fathom anyone leaving children of that age in an apartment alone and in unfamiliar surroundings etc...but my whole mind-set is very much also largely about the perspective of a child/children and for them/the twins..the impact of everything that was happening surrounding their family would have been huge anyway, even at their young ages/they would have absorbed so much and I feel that the one thing that they desperately needed was that one security constant off having their parents in their lives in as much as 'normal' as was possible...
