Missing or forgotten???

Having all this speculation shoved in our faces, on the Maddy case, it made me realise, what about all the others?

Children are reported missing every FIVE MINUTES apparently, but we just don't always hear about it. This piece by Sky news, tells some shocking truths; Police lying about not having cases like the McCann one, just take a look at missing persons website and you WILL see that this is not true( as Kate Leaman says in the Sky news piece.)

This is shocking. I understand that it isn't exactly an easy job, finding a missing person, the world holds a lot of bodies, but the sickening FACT that it is likelier to find a stray dog than a missing person, is just a bit frightening isn't it?

I never knew the missing children's website existed, until now obviously, but its been around since June 2000 apparently. (And yes, of course Madeleine is on the first page!)

It started in America and is now a world wide web platform for finding children. You simply put in all the child's details, as if you were using pay pal on eBay, and there you are, it will search for the child you're missing.

Check it out, i was surprised by the amount of children reported missing from the U.K, but i suppose when certain issues aren't in the media spotlight, and don't effect us personally, we don't know about them.

Isn't that a scary thought? Not thinking about a certain problem in the world, that is vastly effecting people, or a country or whatever it may be; just because it isn't shoved in our faces; like all those people dieing in 3rd world countries, or the wars that are going RIGHT NOW, or children working as slaves.

Just because the media hasn't taken on these things to a vast level of broadcasting, we don't know about them. scary stuff ey?

Anyway, getting back to what I'm actually supposed to be discussing, i found this article by the telegraph, (yet again!) about missing children in Portugal, where Madeleine was reported missing. These three missing children from the article have what appears to be, shoved aside as the limelight has been taken by the all famous McCann case.

Now, is this because of the fact its an English family that have lost their child in a different country, which is not a usual case? Is it something to do with mummy and daddy McCann's highly positioned jobs? Or, is it because of the speculation on them having 'something' to do with her disappearance?

Only we can decide. Us. The public. Because WE are the only reason the media writes these stories, because WE keep reading them. We are hooked. No-one can say they haven't picked up a paper, and not looked at the latest story, brought to you by the 'McCann daily' yes the whole inquiry may as well have its own paper!)

Everyday we see or hear new allegations and stories brought to us by the media, and do you think this is making us actually believe any of the theories on Maddie's sudden disappearance, do you believe all of them? (I mean, just type in Maddie McCann into Google and you'll get about 1,420,000 results.)

Its like reading a book over and over again, the more times you read it, the more stuff you realise, that you never noticed before; this seems to be the case in relation to media stories pouring out, are the media looking into this too much? Will the crap ever end!?
