I apologise if somebody else has said this, but is it beyond the realms of possibility that Shannon herself was involved in her own kidnapping?
"Look shazzy, just be a good girl for a month or so and you can have loads of chocolate and a new tracksuit. If you speak with the filth (Police in scummage langauge) then just deny everything. innit"
I know she is the under the age of criminal responsibility and you can not aid and abet could neglect if you are the child, but it is a feasible idea.
I would put nothing past this family of cheats, liars, criminals, child abusers and generally the most ugliest clan of peasants outside of Wales I have ever seen.
Its not 'definite' she was actually abducted. The whole story is still to unfold but at 9yrs old she can hardly be held responsible for any of it. I feel so sorry for the wee one.
after watching the documentary on them while the kid was missing you just KNEW that the mother knew that she was safe.....it was an elaborate plan to extorte money from the public and the madelline mcann fund.....they are the dregs of society,scum and now the police are asking the people of the area to show restraint.i hope that the mother,the perverted stepfather and whoever else was involved in screwing little shannons head up gets their heads well and truly caved in.......
you are so right bez......my brother works on the oil rigs and a couple of years ago while he was away he and his wife were having the house renovated,on taking my nephew to his new school [he was 7 at the time] the teacher asked him if he liked his new house he replied 'yes its great but my mum has men in the bedroom all the time' my sister in law had to hurriedly explain that of course they were the builders we all had a good laugh.this is of course no relevance to shannons plight,but as the saying goes....out of the mouths of babes......
Having just watched the latest update from Sky News, apparently her mother has admitted to knowing where Shannon was the whole time. Apparently the mother was having an affair with Mick Donovan (who had abducted Shannon) and they planned to get as much money out of the Madeleine McCann fund as they could and runaway.
Good plan I suppose, but what was she gonna do with her other 5 kids???????
The whole family is an absolute disgrace and it makes me sick to think that I am living less than 10 miles from where all this is going on.
Well, Karen's been arrested now, with maybe more people to come.
I agree with weeal - it's not that poor little girl's fault that she was born into the family she has - and that goes for the other children as well.
If Shannon's father can't give her a loving and stable home, then I hope that the poor child's placed with someone who can - although in her young eyes, her mum's still her mum, and I'm sure that she'd miss her dreadfully if she was to be fostered permanently.
Now that Karen Matthews has been charged with perverting the course of justice in relation to knowing all along where Shannon was, will the man charged with her abduction be freed?
Hollywood will probably make a film about it. This fiasco will now cause the finger to be pointed at all parents who's children go missing. They truely are despicable pieces of trash.
But he can't be guilty of abducting Shannon if she was at his flat with her mother's knowledge and permission.The most they could charge him with is some sort of perverting the course of justice.
It's given me an idea!
If I get my missus abducted, I could appeal to the generous British public for funds to get her back, whilst keeping her hidden in the loft!
