help them to find the children
I don't know if this is just me, but I think this whole Maddie thing has been blown out of all proportion.
Thousands of kids are abducted every week, what makes this one different?
Also, if the parents were of different status, other than doctors the press would be bitching about them leaving the children on their own rather than the fact that she was abducted….
ALSO… How are the posters in town going to help people find Maddie, its not like she is in Guernsey IS it?
If the captors had wanted her for a randsom, they'd have sold her by now, otherwise she's dead… I'm sorry, I feel awful for the parents, but there is no need to blow this out of proportion…

YES! FINALLY SOMEONE THAT THINKS THE SAME AS ME! Whenever I've said this, at school or whatever, I always get flamed by people! Glad someone actually thinks logically :)
i too agree with mozzer for the same reasons. i think it is unfair how differently this case has been treated. i dont see why everyone is so stupidly sad. ok, im not that heartless, of course it is a bad thing but yeah, thousands go missing. im sure if, as mozzer said, the parents had a different background/race etc, none of this would be so public. to be honest, its been a long time now, i would be surprised if they found her alive.
/high5 system
ALSO…. Why did the pope have to pray for them?!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GOING TO DO?!!?!?!
If praying did something this world would be AWESOME!!!
Unfortunately it does Fuck ALL!!!!!
What else can I flame about….
Oh year, fucking Portuguese people in Guernsey… Fucking in the paper "Praying for them"…. They live in Guernsey… call them Guerns or immigrants!!!!
i have been of the same opinion. some one on msn said that everyone was going offline for a minute a 8pm one day for her and got into a big debate about why this was a pointless waste of time. eventually i got accused of being uncaring heartless and cold. i am not and i am sympathetic to her parents but i think that she is probably dead and unlikely to see her parents again.
what makes her so different to everyone else who has been kidnapped?? how much money has gone into this when we dont even know if she is alive when it would have saved the lives of possibly thousands of starving children in africa.
i am sympathetic but its gone way out of proportion

really?? so if i put up posters down my street then possibly someone who has been hiding in a hole for long enough that he hasnt heard of her will see it and know where she is.
im sorry but if she is alive then the guy whos got her will be scared crapless with all the attention. think about it now the worlds media is focused on her, do you think he will get a light sentence?? most likely he will be locked up for a long time or executed

i totaly agree. and also as much as it would be great to have her back questions have to be asked of her parents. i mean i just cant feel sorry for them. absaultly stupid to leave her alone! in a different environment!!!
at the end of the day, so what that this abduction is publisied more than any other one.
if theres a chance this extra publicty can aid the return of their child, then go for it. imagine how distressing it would be if this happened to you.
if the parents have enough money to create this media frenzy then good for them.
First of all I would like to note that if the parents weren't complete morons to start with (sorry to put it that rude), the kid would've been with them still. The parents were eating in a restaurant somewhere else in the Hotel, while Maddie was still in the room. <Caps_Lock>What idiot kind of parents leave a freakin todler in a hotel room to eat something somewhere else….</Caps_Lock>
Although I really, really hope for them they see her back, especially for the child, I think they did something really, completely … I have no words for it. It's just so stupid.

which also makes it far more likely that she is dead, he's not going to risk letting her go. i agree with all the posts saying that this has been blown out of proportion. putting up posters will not help in any way people will just stop, read, give a damn for all of a few seconds and then get back on with their lives. it doesn't matter how simpathetic we are, it all counts for shit

Yes, thats exactly what i think too and is mostly what i was talking about in PSHE the other day but my mum did say that the parents were actually using this a publicity stunt i mean all the stuff with the pope and when they report on the news and stuff you never see them cry and almost no emotion in them, if people think i sound a bit mean but its just what i think and im sorry but if she was going to have got back to her family it would have happened now so shes probally been killed or used sexually like the kidnapping a few months ago where the parents saw there son which they lost on youtube being sexually abused, all this is dreadfull but i dont think this can help :(
