I cannot believe the mean spirited comments that so many of you make
about this family, have you ever considered showing some human decency,
they have suffered enough.

"Bless her. I really hope their torment will end some day soon and that
Madeleine will be found alive. Her parents shouldnt have to miss out on
any more of her life."
Why on EARTH has this comment got 30 red arrows? Why on EARTH are there
cruel, ignorant people on here claiming that the McCanns are "annoying"
and should just "move on"?? Have YOU ever lost a child? Do you have any
IDEA of the complete pain and emptiness? I doubt any of you even have
children. I am absolutely gobsmacked at some of the nastiness expressed
on this comment page. Luckily, the McCanns probably don't give a ****
what you think about them as they have far more important things to
worry about. To give up would be to give up on Madeline, and I believe
that any parent who has lost a child would do everything they can to
find them. They must be going through HELL and you lot have no single
clue about it - so why don't you keep your big mouths shut and stop
criticising something you know NOTHING about.

For goodness sake - let the child go. It is heartbreaking to lose a
child. I lost my daughter, not in these circumstances but I lost her all
the same, and a little bit of me died that day too. You have other
children and a future, concentrate on them, and hold Madeline in your
heart, but let her go.

I have read up on a lot of cases of missing children. The families whose
children were missing and later found to be deceased have all said the
not knowing was worse than knowing their child had died. When your child
is missing, you don't have any closure. You might walk down a street and
see a child who resembles your child and it all starts back up again.
It's the little things that affect them the most. One mother was asked
an innocent question by a coworker, " how many children do you have?"
and she didn't know what to say.

I hope they succeed in getting the case re opened and that the leads
that the portuguese police should have followed up and didn't, because
they were to busy blaming any English person they could find, are
followed up.
As for those saying she is dead, what about the abducted children who
have recently been found in Germany and America? As for the money spent
on this it is the donations of the public they are spending are you
telling us how to spend our own money now?
And for those of you banging on about she shouldn't have been left 37
seconds away from the family whilst they made 1/2 hourly checks well
they shouldn't have and Kate has said that she bitterly regrets it, so
change the record and move on. You all want the family to move on, so
move on yourselves you perfect people!
KEEP LOOKING FOR THEM ALL AND REMEMBER SHE COULD STILL BE ALIVE.

Once again the knives are out for Maddie's parents on here. I am always
amazied at the comments. Things like 'it's time to stop looking now,
move on etc'
Ridiculous. If you have children you know that you would never stop
looking I certainly wouldn't if my daughter went missing.
Also the same old comments about how it's their fault for leaving her at
night.
Who hasn't made a mistake in life? Let he or she who is without sin cast
the first stone.
Why can't people show a bit more understanding? Sometimes I despair of
people.
I pray Maddie will be found one day. My thoughts are with her parents at
this awful time.

This couple are really annoying. Madeleine's disappearance is very
tragic but this family has had more publicity and money given to them
than any other family in similar circumstances and to no avail. They
should be grateful that so much was done to try and find their daughter
and maybe now they should try and rebuild their lives with their two
remaining children, rather than court yet more publicity. If this child
was still alive she would have been found by now and as awful as it is,
they need to realize that it is time to move on.

The whole sad case comes down to the fact the both parents willing left
three very young children alone in a strange house, in a strange country
while they went off for a meal in a restaurant, whether it was next door
or round the corner is irrelevant, they left them there.

Just to say I am still thinking of Madeleine, praying and watching out
for her. Every time I see a little girl of around her age I look at her
to see if it is Madeleine. My heart goes out to Kate and Gerry, it is
the worst nightmare that could happen to anyone. No parent can give up
on a lost child. As for the people who blame them, they must be really
perfect parents themselves in every way. I would love to meet them as I
have never met a perfect parent before!!

I don't think anyone will forget poor little Madeleine but I agree with
Diana, Staffs, there are millions of families worldwide who have
suffered a similar tragedy and none of them have had this amount of time
and effort put into searching for their child. I can't imagine they can
ever move on from this, but they have two other children who deserve
childhoods of their own if they're not to grow up severely damaged by
this. The not knowing must be an impossible agony, every parents worst
nightmare come true, but there has to be a day where their other
children come first...
I hope wherever Maddy is she's at peace,

Diana, Staffs .....Would you move on as you so casually say 'If it was

Yes, I know what you are all going to say
'Well, the children should never have been left in the first place' and
yes, I agree with you but it was a decision that the McCanns will have
to live with for the rest of their lives and I am sure we are not all so
perfect as to have made no wrong decisions in bringing up our precious
children.
I hope and pray Maddie is still alive and when I go abroad I am always
discreetly observing the children especially in isolated area's and the
markets.
That is all the McCanns are asking us to do and that COST NOTHING!

The McCanns do not need to fight to get the case reopened, all they have

Sean and Amelie are too young at the moment to fully understand the

later on down the line when they do get to understand the reason, then
they might, and quite understandably, blame their parents, and will have
a few questions of their own to ask them.
