Madeline McCann
http://uk.news.yahoo....ok-now-100921994.html
Apologies if someone has already started a thread about this but I wonder what your thoughts are on this.
Madeline would be 9yrs old now and it's 5yrs since she went missing.
If she was found and had been brought up by a loving family, would it be right to take her away from that family?
Taking into account that someone has broken the law by kidnapping her and should pay the price for that and knowing that if it was my child I would want her back, I wonder how traumatic that might be for the little girl.

I did wonder the other day that maybe if she is still alive, she may not be able to speak English anymore.
I think she should absolutely go back to her parents, she is their child afterall. Why should another 'family' bring her up? She should be with her brother and sister. The thought of another family bringing up my daughter makes me feel sick, she's MY child!
I agree that Maddie's parents should never have left them alone in that room but they obviously never thought in a million years that one of their children would be abducted.
I really hope she is found soon.

Blackpool, Bournemouth, Clacton, Brighton, any seaside resort in and around the UK, before people start knocking the McCann family, how many have lost sight of their children on the beach? granted it was night time but I have said this in another post, the vast majority have done exactly what the McCanns have done, we had never ever thought this might have happened otherwise none of us including them would have left the children. regards the (IF) there are people that have abducted Madeline, they had no right in the first place to take any child away from their parents.
For a lot of years, we've done an annual ski trip with a load of friends, and their children.
When the kids were small, and would need to be left in bed in the evening, we stayed in a small number of specifit hotels where there was a bar adjacent to the hotel entrance.
The children would be locked in their rooms, and we'd sit there, surrounded by friends clutching their baby monitors. Those things are really sensitive. You could hear the children breathing, even through several floors of a hotel.
It was a pain, and we'd have loved to abandon the hotel and go to a restaurant instead.

I hope they find her alive and she is returned well and safe.
I agree with Ummmm.. they were on holiday, let their guard down.. and encouraged by friends, who maybe suggested 'oh the kids will be fine.. we'll check on them regularly'.
The person who took her BROKE in.... didnt find her wandering the streets.. she was asleep in her bed.
I wrote to Kate McCann after reading her book and was so incredibly moved by what they have suffered and the treatment they have endured... and she actually took time out of her busy life to write back to me - even though I said to her not to bother to.
Truly wish them all the very best and hope the story has a happy ending!

The McCann bashers here presumably also think Ben Needhams granparents were neglectful too.. and Sara Payne too... She was on a documentary earlier in the year and said that she allowed Sarah to walk back to the house with just her siblings... and no adults... and the siblings didnt realise she was tagging along behind them...
If the people who steal these children didnt exist - then no harm would ever have come to these precious children....
I hope and pray Ben and Madeleine are one day found....
