With you there, I can't begin to imagine what the parents are going through..................I just pray Maddie is found safe and well very soon.

I hope and pray that it is Maddie, and that she is returned safely to her family. Her parents are NOT on holiday, and are not ignoring the sighting. They would go out of their minds if they followed every sighting, they would be running rings around themselves!! They are wisely leaving that search to the police, and are keeping their daughters name alive so that we don't forget her. I wish them all the best, bless them. Deanna X

****I think if you see how much has been raised in fund monies,almost was one million,,,,,,,,could be more now,,take into account the daily intrest on this ,,,,,,,,,then none of the actual fund is likley to be touched for expenses,,,,,,,,I should imagine funds were and have been invested to gain max returns from the capital *****

Lets hope it is her and they find her. No matter how everyone judges the parents they are still human and must feel terrible

I cant help think, what about those other sightings. I cant remember exactly, but there was an Arab man with a girl who was thought to be Madeleine, she tripped and he said 'Get up little girl' in broken English. If she wasnt Madeleine, was she another child who had been kidnapped? So many children have gone missing (I remember the Portugese mother of one little girl saying no-one would help her), it makes you wonder what on earth happens to them.

I agree, but I think earlier and Kris may know, is that the fund money is to finance them and only when Madaleine is returned, will any of that money be used to finance any searches etc etc for other missing children. If I am wrong, I apologise. Alot of their traveling is, I believe, via Peter Green's private Jet ie at his expense?? Again, if wrong, sorry. I just hope the money is used for other missing children and not for the sole purpose of the Mccanns.

Shirley-Ann, Perhaps this may answer you, Brain Kennedy retired head teacher and gt uncle to missing Madeline,a statement----regarding the fund, Quote 'We're going to need it,there are big bills coming in for things we've produced,for travel.and accomadation whilst Gerry and Kate are out there, They are not wealthy and theres no we could carry on without it', Responding to critism that the Mc anns would not have had so much help if they wernt doctors---''Its true ,we have friends we could call on that others may no have,and we used them,we called in favours,' 'Our view is that any parent where ever they are ,whatever they do should get the same publicity as Madeleine -has and if we can do anything for others through the fund then we will,,,,,,' ___________________ Un-quote, Personally I dont care if the whole fund has to be spent on this cause,if one little baby/child its returned in a sound ,healthy state to its rightful parents then every penny has been well spent,,,

Andy, you are probably right. How many little girls are there with blonde hair that look like Maddy? I saw a girl y'day in Sainsbury's car park that was like her. I had a good look and it wasn't!!

Let's hope if it was Maddy they find her quickly. I wonder what will happen to all the money the Mccanns have raised since she disappeared? I hope it is used to help other parents whose children have gone missing.

The parents have gone to Spain on an Awareness campaign.not a holiday trip........

Kris Report 3 Aug 2007 09:44

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann are taking the search for their daughter back into Spain as they mark exactly three months since her abduction. Gerry and Kate McCann will travel from their base at Praia da Luz in Portugal to Huelva, the capital of Andalucia, where they will put up posters of the four year old across the city. Their latest trip comes as reports surfaced of a sighting of Madeleine in Belgium. According to reports, police in Belgium are taking a sighting of a girl fitting Madeleine's description seriously and have released an identikit drawing. According to Sky News in belgium they have the bottle that the child drank from so they may be able to check the DNA - Here's hoping......

Co Armagh Girl Why are you being so sharp ? If this thread is going to be an anti Parent McCann thread which wont tolerate any sympathy to the McCanns I wont comment any further.
