It HAS now gone too far (another Madeleine thread!)

Two homes raided in south London at 2am, one a home of a woman in her 70's.

Why has it gone too far?
Well the police were acting on info given by the Portuguese police, fair enough you may think, NO, the Portuguese police got their info from, wait for it..........
psychics and clairvoyants!

OMG I would be suing the ass off everyone involved if they raided my home because some nutcase has said it is my house that he/she "sees" in his/her "vision".

You have to have suspicious reasons to enter a property (did the police ask to look or had a warrant?), surely in this case it is null and void? It is worrying the powers police have and what they do.

No one surely can say "oh well, if it helps that is a good thing!" in this case?

Wtf that's ridiculous, everyone knows these 'psychics' never seem to work.

I echo this, I just can't believe that the police would be that stupid..... :/

If this is true then I hope the (UK and Portugese) officers involved in issuing the right to invade the persons homes are sued and lose their job for going on such a fake lead.

The article says it's unknown if the psychic tips are being given to london police, or if the raids were done because of them.

It is understood they are clutching to the hope that Madeleine's abductor might pose as someone with psychic powers so that he could free her, tell police of a vision identifying where she could be found - and avoid detection.

Sounds like something Baldric would come out with. "Sir I have a cunning plan!"

Absolutly stupid. What if the 70 year old had a heart attack or died of shock :mad:

What on earth are they smoking?

As callous as it may seem, i'm getting sick of hearing about this. Children have been snatched wrongly before, but there's not been as much fuss as this, do the press really have nothing else to talk about other than showing pictures of her as she was getting on the plane for a "wonderful family holiday"?

By all means, keep searching for her, but tell us when something significant happens rather than wasting a tree cluttering up the papers with fuzzy pictures of everything she did before she went on holiday every single bloody day.

And as for the original link, come on, it's england, we're a nation of idiots.

Psychic investigators on discovery channel says differently.

Heliospherez · 3 Jun 2007 at 14:03

How could they be sued ? They are cops and can do whatever they want :rolleyes:

If they have reasonable suspician to think the child was in there (even if it was some mumbo jumbo witch that seen it in her crystal ball)

They do a lot worse than that and with even less evidence or suspician. Nothing surprises me in this country anymore.

Heh heh, maybe they should give James Randi a call!

Styles · 3 Jun 2007 at 14:09

Surely this isn't real? And the only reason it's still in the press isn't because she's more important than any of the other children that have been snatched, it's because her parents are fighting every day to keep her in the press so there's much broader range of people who may be able to help.
