I pray to god that Maddy is returned safe and sound
However am alone in thinking the McCanns are now milking this situation in a perverse way, I really have had enough of the media circus surrounding this.
People go missing every day in London, and the rest of the country and they don't get this sort of exposure. How must their families feel when seeing all the attention this is getting.
Not sure what the Pope can do

Not sure what the Pope can do I must admit, while I can appreciate they'd want to keep the case in the spotlight, the pope thing did seem a bit excessive to me. As you said, there's children (and adults) that go missing every day; we don't even hear about most of them. I do wonder what it was that caught the media about this particular story though Even kids going missing on holiday isn't exactly unheard of, and Portugal isn't a place the tabloids usually like to pick on (i.e. I could understand it more if it were in France or Italy, as it allows rags like The Sun to score cheap points)

No I agree with you Hurls, and it's exactly what I've been thinking too. However, at least they're not giving up hope (although I think that going to see the Pope was just a step too far, despite it being their religion etc, I can't see how blessing a picture of her is going to bring her back), but I think it's patently obvious that it's looking likely Maddy's not going to return... But I agree with Mort as well. The British media find a story and just have to keep using it. It happened here in Suffolk in December, and now after all that attention nothing's been heard since.

To be honest, I think 'at best' she's dead, and at worst she's in the hands of a group who'll ensure she's never seen again... Not a thought I want to entertain more than fleetingly, but given the amount of organised groups doing that now, it's certainly a possibility...

McCanns will split up, you can be sure one of then persuaded the other to go out that night, with the comment 'don't worry it'll be alright'
Blame will set in

Yeh you've got to feel sorry for their other kids. They won't understand it all now but for the rest of their lives, they might not feel 'as important' or loved as much I can understand the family will do anything to keep this story going as they are desperate but think of the families who's children have gone missing/were kidnapped through no fault of their own (i.e. didn't leave their kids alone). I have sympathy with the McCanns but part of me just wants to have a go at them for being stupid enough to leave their kids alone like that.
