Madeleine Mccann Investigation.
Would I, a humble ex-squadie and PE teacher, receive the same allocation of police resources and media attention as the McCanns, given the same circumstances ?

Derek, if your child was abducted in a foreign country and you maintained a high profile on the case, as the parents have done, I don't think you would be treated any differently. Doctors are ordinary people too.
Baz, This isn't a regular missing person - she's a child.
I don't understand why the authorities think she's still alive. I don't.

Oh, The Psychics have had their say. Acorah reckons she is dead, some Psychic from Burnley thought she was living in Minnesota, USA, a team of 3 TV Pyschics from the US think she is dead.
And a report from 2012 suggests that the Met are now looking again at some suggestions from psychics that were previously ignored.
Parasites, all of them. Shameless self-promoters, preying on the most vulnerable. They make me sick.

I have just read this and found it interesting.
To answer your question, I would hope so, but doubt it.
How many abductions of children have we NOT heard about??

Every time I see Kate McCann's haunted face, I feel like crying for her. Yes, I know she denies that she did any wrong in leaving her three vulnerable children alone, but does she really believe that? I think not. I personally don't think they should have been left and I would never, ever do that to my child, but I still feel for this poor woman. I also suspect that she thinks Maddie is dead, but she needs closure of some sort and if a body is found, then that will be her closure - maybe. On the news today there have been reports of thee same man being mentioned many times after last night's Crimewatch, let's hope it brings some results.
Boo I am answering the OP which asks if the 'normal' person would get the amount of public resources The McCann's have. To answer your question yes, if they have broken the law resulting in the loss of a child then they are guilty. In the UK it is illegal to leave any child on their own under the age of !2. If I left three children under the age of 7 in a house on their own and one died as a result then I would expect to be prosecuted. It would not 'satisfy' me that they were convicted of child neglect, it would be justice.
@ClaryS "In the UK it is illegal to leave any child on their own under the age of !2."
No it isn't. The law sets no minimum age.

What does this have to do with the McCanns situation?

The simple fact of the matter is we just don't know if we would all get the same level of attention as the McCanns as fortunately none of our chldren have been whipped from their beds while we are on holiday. A great deal of money was do ated by the public to set up a fund to keep the investigation going, I imagine that has now run dry and the McCanns are (rightly) keeping the pressure on to get a resolution.
There would be nothing that I wouldn't do if she was my child.

Kate McCann spoke of the initial moment she went to check on Madeleine, only to discover she was gone.
She went to look-in on her daughter only for a door to 'slam shut' moments before her shocking discovery.
“It was all quiet but it caught my eye that the children’s door was quite far open.
'As I was just drawing it over, it was like it had been caught by a draught and it just slammed shut.
'I opened it a bit, I kind of looked into the room and I guess I was looking at Madeleine’s bed and I couldn’t make her out.
'I wondered if she was in our bed.
'She wasn't in our bed. That was the first time panic kicked in.
“At that point the curtains, which were closed, kind of whooshed and I could see that the window had been pushed right open and the shutters were up.'
So she did not really check the child's bed until the door slammed and the curtains blew, if she checked this badly all the time who knows when and where it happened.
