My granddaughter is 7 and she is aware of the missing McCann child's story. Naturally she sees it from a child's perspective and all she has said about it is, "Poor girl". She is aware of "stranger danger" but there are limits to what a child can grasp in a case like this.

I don't agree with an advert at the cinema, not for any affect it may have on children but because I really feel the public is being beaten to death by this campaign. I care deeply that a child has gone missing, we all care, but I don't care exclusively about this one above any others. God knows, we would all go to the ends of the Earth to find our own child if it happened to us but I don't believe making this a Cause Celebre is helpful, in fact I have a horrible feeling it's just the reverse.
