Small child in costume shop yesterday wandered around to the other side of the stacks where I was trying to find the right glasses for a party. Five minutes or so later, mother wanders round visibly anguished, grabs child by the hand and says
"it's not safe any more, bad people might take you - don't leave my sight"
What you only just realised the amazingly long odds on your child being snatched and have only now begun to keep an eye on your child
"It's not safe any more" It's not a fucking warzone
I heard something similar on a radio phone in about parking restrictions in Camden, a woman phoned in to say: "it wasn't safe for kids to walk to school what with the madeiline case and all"
Isn't her photo being projected on Marble arch today (along with someother kids) as it's national missing childrens day?

those who see fit to mock what are you going to do or say if it happens to you/your child or a family member?

I draw the fucking line at this myself:
Madeleine's face projected on Marble Arch
I mean, what the fuck?????

I don't enjoy the hysteria too much myself I must say. I guess now thanks to the interweb one can at least express his thoughts without risk of being demonised.rutabowa said:
Back in 1997 When Saint Diana died most people (me included) were not online yet and I had to keep quiet about my contempt for the sordid spectacle so not to upset the 'mourners' and their public displays of sorrow. I knew there must have been like minded people elsewhere but it was damned difficult to find them on the day of the funeral.

I don't blame the parents for trying. But I blame the media and celebrities for being ridiculous and so over the top it beggars belief.sorter said:
And if I was the parent of a previously dissapeared child who didn't enjoy such public exposure and support I'd be well pissed off as well.
exactly. the media are making a total killing out of this, and they are not doing it out of kindness. it will not help find her one bit, in fact it will reduce any chance she will be found alive, it's entirely repellent on every level if you think about it. i don't really care though.T & P said:
I'm told commercial radio stations across the UK are either about to play or have already played something called "the song for Madeleine" on their breakfast shows. Of course, people all over Portugal tune in daily to hear Key 103 or Capital FM's morning slots. This'll be heard by whoever's got her and he'll be moved enough to hand her back. It is in no way a cynical attempt by the failing commercial radio industry to boost publicity for their rubbish stations...

Pleasant and unpatronising
subtext: "But Darling, I know we're having trouble making ends meet but I couldn't possibly get a job or even give up the fashionable 4x4, I mean someone has to take the kids to school and pick them up safely. Those poor parents . . . . no, I don't think I could give up the gym membership either, what could I do with all my time ? Those poor, poor parents . . . "DeadManWalking said:

Is this as part of a campaign where lots of children are shown? If it is I see nothing wrong with it. I'd rather large public buildings be used for that rather than projections of Gail porters naked form if it brings a child home- no matter who that child is.
If its just her then like others have said WTF??

bald Gale Porter or FHM Gale Porter? Eithers preferable..
come on nemo, sort it out.
when you have kids, assuming you haven't already, and one of them is missing, snatched from thier bed, and they are 3 years old, the last thing on your mind is people being put out by the campaign to get her back.
all they want is one thing, and that is to get her back, and if that means your offended by the scum having a campaign, i'm sure they won't mind.

I don't blame the parents actually. I blame all the people who've jumped on the bandwagon and taken some kind of collective ownership of the grief, worry, and outrage generated by this case. This is a three-ring media circus and it's got, as in the case of Princess Diana, that if you dare to voice any disapproval at all, you get accused of pretty much anything the tabloids can devise to blacken the motives of people they're trying to traduce.sorter said:
