All this written about the media covering Madeleine & ignoring other cases is hogwash. The only reason we are so taken up with Madeleine is 'cos of the media. The media does their job & we lap it up. So its great what Gerry & co. do.Its serves their purpose to keep Maddie in the news.
First, leaving their babies alone was inexcusable & wrong; legally & morally.
They are (worse for them, their Madeleine is paying for it) & they will be charged for neglect. Where i come from, there was a case on May 2 where a new born baby boywas abducted right from his mother's arms in the hospital bed, four hours after birth, by a woman posing & dressed as a nurse. Now, this wasn't a 5star resort. It was a hospital meant for the poor. The parents are people who live on the streets. They don't know from where their next meal will come from. A newspaper covered it & just like Madeleine's case it touched our hearts & minds & we prayed & worried over that little child & his parents. Thankfully, our good police force came thru' & traced that woman & returned the child to his parents after 5 harrowing days. (Its another sad story that the woman couldn't bear her ownchildren & was being harrassed by her mum-in-law for it & so sought her own sorry way out). Sorry to drift...but my point is that this case was given coverage despite the fact that these people were the poorest of the poor. So, don't flak the media attention the McCanns get just 'cos they're doctors & well off...They have something in common with a family living on the streets...a child abducted.
