THE CITIZEN: MONDAY 08 DECEMBER 2008

2:40pm Monday 8th December 2008

By Emma Cruces 
THOUSANDS of people around the world joined an East Lancashire group's online prayer day for Madeleine McCann.

Madeleine's mother Kate McCann is thought to be one of the 20,000 Christians who joined the Accrington and Burnley-based prayer circle in a day of remembrance for Madeleine and all missing children worldwide on Friday.

The prayer circle known as 'music download revolution' has been up and running for a year and members say they are becoming increasingly popular.

The core of the organisation is the Christian music download site, from which the group's campaign to raise awareness of child trafficking has attracted global attention.

John Wearne, who belongs to St Paul's Church in Accrington and co-runs the site, said: 'Eight jumbo jet loads of children disappear every single day for the purposes of sex trafficking and the church has a responsibility, a duty, to impact this evil.

"We still believe that Madeleine is out there and we believe in spiritual warfare and that prayers for her will help bring her home.

'I have also spoken to Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, who is happy we are promoting this for her lost little angel. She confirmed to me that she would be joining in.'

John runs the site with Burnley man Robert Robinson, a singer-songwriter who promotes the site's music

I would respectfully suggest all readers remain open-minded with regard to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Sadly, as we have learned only too well from the recent Karen Matthews case, parents occasionally behave in the unwisest of ways.

Let us simply pray that the full truth emerges before these events bring about more tragedy.

My prayers are with Madeleine McCann every day and also for Kate McCann to find the strength to return to Portugal and respond to the 48 questions put to her by the police, which still remain unanswered.

Poor little Madeleine would not have become a 'lost little angel' had her loving parents not abandoned her and her twin siblings for a night out with friends.

Poor Madeleine. She would be safe and well if her parents would have been taken care of her.

We should all pray for Madeleine's safe and sound return. She is alive somewhere out there, we have no evidence on the contrary. She is alive somewhere out there and can be found, and one day that will happen.

How encouraging it is that Madeleine is still thought about - that prayers are sent for her return and for strength for her family during this horrible time.

I respectfully ask that everyone keep an open mind regarding the circumstances of Madeleine's disappearance - as rumor, innuendo, and outright fiction are not beneficial to finding the truth.

I feel that respect for Madeleine is the top priority - and slurs against her family, especially in commenting to an article of this type - only victimize Madeleine further.

The small faction of organizers who have made it their life's work to comment viciously against the McCanns with every opportunity, could better put their energy and interest in Madeleine to better uses - maybe helping to find her' or helping other children around the world'

'Madeleine's mother Kate McCann is thought to be one of the 20,000 Christians who joined the Accrington and Burnley-based prayer circle in a day of remembrance for Madeleine and all missing children worldwide on Friday'

THIS IMPLIES THAT THE MOTHER OF THE MISSING CHILD WAS IN ACCRINGTON AND BURLEY PRAYING ALONG SIDE THE 20,000 CHRISTIANS.

"I have also spoken to Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, who is happy we are promoting this for her lost little angel. She confirmed to me that she would be joining in.'

SO WAS SHE IN ACCRINGTON AND BURNLEY OR PRAYING FROM ELSEWHERE'

'John Wearne, who belongs to St Paul's Church in Accrington and co-runs the site, said: 'Eight jumbo jet loads of children disappear every single day for the purposes of sex trafficking and the church has a responsibility, a duty, to impact this evil.'

IS JOHN WEARNE IMPLYING THAT THIS IS THE SITUATION THAT MADELEINE IS IN. IF SO WHAT EVIDENCE DOES HE HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM.

Jill, perhaps you could suggest how people can help search for Madeleine, her own parents refused to return to Portugal to do just that.

Mr. Wearne is not implying anything of that kind. Just by praying for Madeleine's safe return, that does no mean that she is in one of those nets. Come on people, please, read the news more carefully.

Perhaps you should direct that comment to the child's parents and their 7 friends. You know the ones who did not return to Portugal for a reconstruction and the mother who did not answer questions. As for looking for her. Did the parents even do that Jill'

Did they, Kim'

Sounds like fiction to me.

But certainly your prerogative to believe it :).

Yes, I do have suggestions as to how you can help.

From the comfort of your own home, you can use your computer in a positive way - by emailing the members of the detective unit in Portugal who were in charge of the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, asking them to please not give up on her and to continue investigating any and all who could be involved - including locals (not just British locals ;)).

You can join any of the numerous groups who are emailing Madeleine's poster all over the world, in hopes that someone somewhere might remember something, or can add experiences of their own which could help towards a conclusion.

And of course, there are many children throughout the world who are missing - numerous ways that you can help.

And don't forget that with the enactment of a Europe-wide Amber-type alert, and even a Megan's Law (convicted sex offender info available to the public) there are many ways you can get involved to urge your lawmakers to adopt measures that will protect other children - maybe even your children.

It's a horrible thing to think about - but children everywhere are at risk - and every person should consider this and act to help.

Good luck.

And it's interesting to note that not only are they organized in their viciousness towards Madeleine's parents, but also absolutely no caring for Madeleine at all, if their website is any indication:

you're welcome ukviewer!

I especially recommend the Satirical threads - what amazing creativity you all have!

And while your at it - some of your members have even penned some fictional accounts - just short of libel, but oh-so-humorous and gives you something to keep you busy while others put their talents and skills to work in positive efforts.

Interesting to see how how some people choose to help Madeleine!

Jill, in England we believe in fairness and will always rise up against injustice.

Sadly, Madeleine McCann is dead and her parents have known all along. Guilty of manslaughter, not murder, concealment of a corpse and now fraud on a massive scale.

The truth will prevail, mark my words, and the dignity of justice will be done for a little girl who deserved better.

wow - you're a fast reader, then!

lolol.

Look, you guys do what you want.

It's best if you keep busy with your little site anyway. That way, if I wonder what you all are doing, I'll know where to look ;).

In the meantime, leave the more important stuff to others who, as I said, have the talents and skills necessary to put their money where their mouths are.

I swear, someday I'm going to write a book. Name it "Sheeple". I'll make sure to give you all acknowledgments.

Thanks for the link to the 3 Arguidas website. Fascinating insight into the investigation by both the Portuguese and UK police. V interested in the documentation released by the investigators once it was made clear by the McCanns they had lost interest in searching for their daughter. Thanks for this.

kkkatie - thank you, and I know that this is a small minority that make these types of comments.

I've met some amazing, caring people from the UK and all over in the days since Madeleine was taken, and we all have one priority: Madeleine.

JILL, WHY SHOULD THE GENERAL PUBLIC E-MAIL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION' I BELIEVE THE PARENTS OF THE CHILD WHO MYSERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED HAD THE RIGHT TO ASK FOR THE INVESTIGATION IN PORTUGAL TO BE RE-OPENED ON OR AROUND 20TH SEPT 08. WHY DID THEY NOT DO THAT JILL' ALSO WHY HAVE THE PARENTS NOT ASKED OR DEMANDED THAT THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER' SURELY THAT WOULD BE DOING THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILD THAT MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED RATHER THAN PRAYING AND WORKING HARD BEHING THE SCREENS OF THEIR COMPUTERS!

You can join any of the numerous groups who are emailing Madeleine's poster all over the world, in hopes that someone somewhere might remember something, or can add experiences of their own which could help towards a conclusion.

JILL, HOW ON EARTH DOES E-MAILING A POSTER ALL OVER THE WORLD OF THE CHILD WHO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED 19 MONTHS AGO HELP FIND HER' SURELY THE PARENTS SHOULD SPEND MONEY FROM THE FUND, THAT THE PUBLIC GENEROUSLY DONATED, PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTING THE POSTER ALL OVER THE WORLD THEMSELVES.

'I swear, someday I'm going to write a book. Name it "Sheeple". I'll make sure to give you all acknowledgments'

JILLPOPS IF YOU EVER WRITE YOUR BOOK SOMETHING GOOD WILL COME OUT OF IT, THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE READ A BOOK.

Hi Jill from the USA,

These parents gave no respect to their 3 children. IMO they are fair game for any criticism at their selfish and thoughtless parenting.

They left 3 children under the age of 4 every night of their Holiday in PDL, not just on May 3rd, leaving them from approx 8:30pm till midnight which was their routine.

Shane on them.

And if Amaral's studied opinion is correct and she died by accident, neglected and then her body hidden away by them, saying 'Find the body and prove it' ~ Let it be the reason there are people who still fight for the Truth about what happened to Madeleine and where she could be today.

It is really ALL about Madeleine xox

Is it your intention to, no matter what the content, follow Madeleine news around for eternity - continuing to victimize this child'

Is there nothing that can ever be printed about MADELEINE that you will not defame with ugly, hate-filled missives about her parents'

Shame on you. You and your friends have defiled this child incessantly with your inability to see the forest for the trees.

I have a newsflash for you: the PJ had all the info you have for over a year, and try as they might they were not able to find a connection they could use to railroad her parents.

At that, they closed the file. Good job, PJ.

Then, you and yours got this info.

And you have spent how many months dissecting every "mmm", "yeah", "clearing of the throat" while you try to pretend you know something of how search dogs operate'

Give me a break.

Your hatred, and egotism, has caused you to spend the last year and a half of your life NOT considering the most important thing: Madeleine.

I have a great idea: why don't you write up a report of your most well-analyzed findings, and send them on to the head of the PJ' Maybe between the two of you, you could break the case!
