Subject: RE: BS: Child neglect and the law
What a shame eanjay that it takes a reporter from the other side of the world to speak out against the "sanctification" of the team McCann.

a small extract ....

"Across Europe, many children go missing everyday but no case has received the amount of coverage the McCann disappearance has generated.

Yet, despite every micro detail of the events leading up to the disappearance being scrutinised, there has been virtually no critical analysis of how two wealthy, well-educated parents could be so reckless as to leave their children alone in a foreign country.

Instead, the bleeding hearts would have us believe many parents regularly do this without any such consequences."


I strongly urge people with open minds to read the rest and note the major questions that are ignored by the home grown newspapers.

This is a well written article and makes me ashamed of the almost universal highly emotive and exploitative nature of the British press and other media.

Although the BBC have criticised other radio stations for continual use of first names when referring to the parents making them more "intimate" to listeners they contiue to do this and still refer to the paid professional spin doctor as a "family friend"

Where is the investigative journalism that should be looking into the use of the donations so freely given by people with far less income than the McCanns? Why does the Limited Company only allow for funds to be used to aid similar cases IF Madeleine is returned safely to her parents?
