News & Events - November 2007

That is the big question of the day. OK world. And that
means you too, Brits. There is a situation going on in the
US, with nooses being hung in order to discourage
Blacks, in and throughout the country. Perhaps the
world. They even found one, at Columbia Universirty,
in New York City. Now CNN, has been beaming the
spotlight down on this story all week. But FOX NEWS,
has remained silent. They said nothing. We know that
you Conservatives are racially illiterate, for the most part.
But why are you looking the other way ? Do you not feel
comfortable, with diversity, and what it has to offer, from
a humanitarian point of view ? And do you think FOX
NEWS is being biased toward monorites ? How about
the English, how do you feel ?

Don't you think that us discussing it over breakfast would take the abductor and the poor child underground?

Why on earth is it, when such sights are reported to Police Authorities, is it made known to the media???

Surely, it makes more investigative sense to keep such sightings quiet?

The media has achieved its purpose in making Madeleine's face & case known. Don't you think its time the investigation got private like all good investigations should be?

deter / delay you from immediately reporting that you may have seen her?

Would you have the courage to go right ahead & report a sighting
at the risk of being accused of being an attention seeking fool, if you were proved wrong?

Is doing all you can to find a missing child, worth taking the risk of being called an attention seeking fool, if proved wrong?

I would...and i do hope no one will be deterred by many mistaken sightings to refrain from reporting sightings of a missing child ever.

all too frequent in various parts of the world?
It wasn't always so. Whats the reason for this?

MEXICO CITY (AFP) - Most of Mexico's southern state of Tabasco was underwater Thursday, as hundreds of thousands of people waited for rescuers to pull them out of their homes in the worst floods ever in the region.

The floods that began last week now cover 80 percent of Tabasco, a state about the size of Belgium, affecting about one million people and killing at least one person, officials said.

"Of the 2.1 million Tabasquenos, more than half are suffering from this serious problem that has not been experienced in the history of Tabasco," Governor Andres Granier told reporters.

About 30,000 people were placed in 256 state shelters while 300,000 remain trapped in flooded homes, waiting for military helicopters and boats to rescue them, the state government said in a statement

This isn't a pro or anti McCann Q...so lets try & put our head together for once...ok?!

I'm begining to believe that there are 2 schools of thought with regards to finding missing children :
1. Some experts believe that a wide media coverage results in the public easily recognising the child which leads to a quick finding of the baby.
2. Some experts believe that its better for Police & Private investigators to go underground, lulling the abductor into a false sense of security, leading them to come out with the child when the child is rescued & abductor is nabbed.

Now, i don't say that the McCanns were wrong to immediately opt for full coverage of their missing Madeleine.
They were obviously advised by experts who know more about abductions than any of us here.
Also, being in a foreign country, they had to attempt the quickest option & its a fact that wide coverage normally results in quick findings.

My Q is what is your opinion? Which option do YOU prefer?

Its obviously a very very tough call to make as its simple to see that wide coverage leads to the abductor getting into a panic which could be dangerous for the child. At the same time, wide coverage is a known surefire way to ensure that people keep their eyes & ears open for the child which is vital for the child's quick & safe return.

Personally, i think that tho' option 2 may take longer, which would be a nightmare for both the parents as well as the child, it is a safer option.
God bless little Madeleine & her grieving family.

Ernie Allen, head of the US-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, has repeatedly told the McCanns that their campaign could be the key to finding her and he believes she may be alive (statistics show very young children are less likely to be murdered). Nobody will care more than them - they are the primary activists for Madeleine. He is convinced to keep the focus on the search for a live child. If they stopped their campaign, then people will forget about Madeleine. Hope and the tireless public campaign is the KEY to finding her.
Public opinion is a fickle thing; the public has a very short memory and easily gets bored. Two months after Madeleine’s disappearance the story has become stale with no new developments (which was extremely distressing for the McCanns) and then the McCanns became suspects (which is a terrible position to be in; being accused of killing your own child) but as a consolation, the new developments have inadvertently ignited public attention and the media back again. Some of you might say that the attention is on the parents not on Madeleine, but every time the parents get mentioned so does Madeleine’s name and her photos.
