I feel uncomfortable about the PM's direct involvement in this case....what about the thousands of other missing children in THIS country? How do their parents feel when copious resources are plied into this ONE case originating on foreign soil. Definitely a PR move on Cameron's part.

But then, I've felt uncomfortable about the level of publicity this ONE case has received from day one! THOUSANDS of missing kids out there, enduring God knows what, and yet all the celebrities also jumped onto the publicity bandwagon....and millions of pounds were donated...not to a "missing children's charity" to help ALL these families, but this ONE family!
YES, what happened to Madeleine is horrendous - no question - but it's been conveniently overlooked by the authorities - and the general public - that if her parents hadn't left her......that and how media savvy her parents were from day one (strolling along the shallows on the beach, carrying sandals, hand in hand....bank of photographers yards away.....is that REALLY how you'd behave if your child had just been abducted....???) And as for using part of the "Fund" to make 2 mortgage payments....really???? And writing a book.....?
NOBODY can predict how they'll react in that or any given situation, but still, the McCann's have had a public platform that other families in the same situation haven't .......why??
If this kind of help is given to ONE family - it should be given to them ALL!!! No wonder Karen Matthew's got ideas in her head.....

My comments will possibly be unpopular but I DON'T think our PM should be involving himself in this....
