Nice way to misrepresent facts there fella

Thousands of children might go missing every year, but how many of them are 3 year olds who are presumed abducted?

Unless you know that your self what case do you have here?

Because the parents made sure the media new and followed them, to raise the chances of her being found. Who doesn't know the face of madaline? It was a very very clever thing for the parents to do. Assuming there innocent.

Suppose so, It's worked anyway

I'm not the one suggesting that thousands of Maddy McCann's are going missing every year.

No it hasn't. She's still not been found.

But you are the one suggesting it isn't true, calling for proof, without providing any evidence of your claims..

It has though, the news of her has spread and her face is recognised by billions. The chances of her being found has thus been increased.

sure there are, there are probably quite a few hundred thousand abductions a year, just most aren't reported as they happen so often in places like Africa.

But probably decreased the chances of it being alive.

I agree, but what do you do as a parent, sit back and feel sorry for yourself. Or actively try to find her.

And on that note who would want to keep her alive,she would be to hot to handle and would be killed.

And she could off already been dead. You can't have statements like that otherwise you would never do anything.

Nope, I even acknowledged that it was a fact. What I don't accept is that missing is the same as abducted, from what I've read about the subject, almost all missing children in the UK are runaway teenagers. A tragic statistic, but its not the same thing as whats happened to Maddy.

In the MWWS wiki link I posted, there are quite a few cases of missing white women/girls that I've never heard of. Why? Because they happened a different country. Why is it so hard for you to understand that the British media will concentrate on British cases?

Anyone think its a bit fishy that the day they are named as suspect they decide they want to come home? But no sign of that the 120 days prior?

they wanted to return home, before they where interviewed, let alone named as suspects.

I swear they said they would never return home without maddie. Yes I know things change but funny about the timing of it all.

They did , but they can't stay there forever. It's one reason I believe the police interviewed them in the first place.

they probably realised that if they stay in portugal and are arrested it will be a lot harder to find care for their kids. The remaining kids should have been brought home ages ago for some normality to return, at least now they are home they can go to relatives if the parents are wanted for more questioning. Also, if as they claim, the Portugese police are trying to frame them, then of course they'd come home. I certainly would, I wouldn't stay somewhere where I was trying to be stitched up. I don't think you can read anything into that at all tbh.
