Is this Maddie

Hope this woman has a good explanation when she is found:

Funny -I will say this Ethel -I did comment to someone earlier on about the benefits of 'rumbling' them.The McCann camp have always kept their cards close to their chest so it looks like the British media are now having a field day now they have free reign to report again.That saddens me and must surely sadden her parents.

Its like a police car sounding its sirens on their way to a reported burglary -doesnt make sense.

Ben Needham has come to the forefront again -his mum has been on the TV etc.
His disappearance did attract the same level of interest all those years back -I can quite vividly remeber allt he press coverage even yet.There does come a point tho that the only outlet -the media-find another bone to chew on.

I personally havent forgotten Ben Needham nor am I unaware of the angst his poor family must feel whenever another child goes missing.

Its a living nighmare (:

Ben Needham would now be of an age to question his background and take any steps he wished. Ofcourse his family still suffer though.

As 4 this video, the unusual portrayal is a 'hijabed' woman & european child. Sky said she was from North Africa (don't know how they know that). I pray no moslem woman puts herself in a position of aiding an abducter....as all hell would break loose.

Am sad a few would rather the subject dropped.....but I feel differently, and it is STILL news.

I do hope this gets investigated, but I fear it may be too good to be true!

I think every day of turning on the news and they have found her!!! Lets hope it happens eh?

[Ethel]

Ben Needham's case was covered quite differently - the family got no help at all from anybody and had the finger of suspicion firmly pointed at them throughout. The mother had to sell off a lot of her possessions to get home

There was certainly no Team Needham, no millions of pounds donated nor private detectives.

sp1814, you're like a scratched record playing the race card AGAIN.

Ben had maximum publicity at the time and still does. Even I, and many other Abers do know the case but it was a different era.

In Maddie's case we ARE NOT going to roll over, shrug our shoulders and move on. Where's there's breath there's life and those scoundrels who did away with her will be hunted down.

For what its worth.....this is my theory: The child-carers at the hotel were losing income as parents were not using their services, so planned this as a protest. All went wrong and out of control as they didn't reckon on such devoted parents taking these actions.

GO ON, BRICK ME?

That woman had a good explanation:

But now Belgian police have said a man has come forward to say the girl is his daughter and that she was out with her nanny.

Ethel, just read the report in Daily Mail, I wonder if the Police have actually spoken to the Nanny or even saw the child for that matter or have they just taken the father's word for it.

[Ethel]

You can bet that it has been properly investigated.
