Im not a parent myself but i want to share the pain her parents must be feeling now and pray for her safe return

The best thing i could say is, keep on thinking positive, after all the police are saying that the little girl is alive. Im sure she will be in everyones prayers and best interest to return home safely. Lets all keep thinkin positive and hope that whoever has done this can come to a conclusion and make a difference for the better because people can change and there is alwasy a positive side. I definately offer my condolonces and my heart goes out!

I hope she is found soon and is ok. But I leave you with this....If you knew parents down your road who left twins of 2 years old and a 3 year old in the house alone whilst they went out for a meal, what would you think of them!

Why do you want to share another persons pain? I hope she is recovered, and soon, but this thread seems pretty pointless in my view.

I looked at the posts on your profile and....do you have anything positive to say....

there was a point in my life when I was a negative person, you will find out that if you think psotive, positive things will happen. I tought the post was good. By the way this is off topic video discussion if you do not like it then do not respond.  Don't bring others down by exerting your negativity! Thanks in advance-D

I agree about sharing someone elses pain, especially someone you dont know.

It was the same effect when Diana died and this shared grief for someone most people had never even met swept the nation.

 It's just as sad that EVERY day of the year children die of starvation, die of curable diseases and live on the streets of many countries.

But i guess we are so used to this we see it as normal for these countries.

ONE british kid gets kidnapped  and a few celebs offer 2.5 million pounds reward.... MILLIONS of african/russian/south american kids starve, die of illness and get murdered every year and comic relief raises 60 million pounds out of a population of 60 million!

Trrible things happen to many families around the world through no fault at all of their own and a lot of them do not have money or good jobs and maybe they dont leave 3 under 3s alone whilst they go out.

What I can't stand is the hypocrisy of the media, if a celeb or a family was found by them to be leaving kids that age on their own the headlines would be somewhere along the lines of 'irresponsible parents'

Its people like you thaat we need more of, people can realize..one person can make a difference!

If we all just tried..................be tolerant.......If we focused on Arts?scines in schools and teach equality and not religion, but spirituality, we would get so far!

If they were nationals, they'd most likely be indicted with child neglect. But, since they're foreigners, and their embassador was so quick to voice his concerns about it, I'm sure nothing will happen.

That said, I do hope the best for the kid.

I was asking a question, not “bringing down others by exerting my negativity”.

As far as I’m concerned this thread is just a side effect of the overblown media coverage of this incident.

Just like the Diana case which was mentioned above. In that scenario you had a country in which most of its inhabitants had virtually no emotional feelings whatsoever towards the princess, and only after her death, when the story is blown through the roof, we get an army of mourners crying at the great loss.

The power of the media is truly omnipotent.

Now the case of one British girl gets a field day of attention and funding while in 2005 statistics indicate at least one person (man, woman, or child) was kidnapped in Columbia on average every three hours. Did anyone even hear of that?

It’s good that this case is getting funds and attention, but all cases should! And it’s a pity that it starkly highlights the fact that only the cases that really pull the emotional strings will end up getting similarly noticed.

If this thread was some how connected to the investigation, and people were allowed to submit information, or even if they could give condolences to the parents of the victim (that might actually get seen), I would see a point.

Sorry for the font but I couldnt post on the page without it crashing. so had to copy and paste it from elsewhere.

A whole year now since her disappearance. I hope she is found again eventually. It must be so hard for her family, but they have shown remarkable courage for such a painful experience. They deserve to be reunited with Maddie
