There was a fund set up when it happened so maybe there is still enough to pay the court fees. Strange why they are so against the bloke publishing his book. If he is telling lies surely they could sue him for libel or is it because he is too near the truth for comfort?

That fund was to find a missing girl not pay legal fees because the parents felt upset

[Rowlf]

I see the police have asked for more money to continue this search. £11million has already been given towards it. If the parents want the search to continue surely it is time they spent their own money on it instead of the taxpayers . There must be dozens more children missing that have not had a halfpenny spend on their case. I for one think enough is enough.

[cashman]

I have always been convinced its been funded like mad cos of who they are. God only knows what other parents of missing children think.?

[Less]

They have probably been forced to come to terms with their loss as best they can.
I still think it sad that the fate of a young girl was in the hands of the irresponsible.

[Rowlf]

I think you are right Cashman. If it was a factory worker and a dustman they would not have had the money at all even though their child would be just as important to them. What bugs me most is that the parents of Madelaine were not that bothered about her on the night she disappeared or it would not have happened.

Its very sad and the irresponsible are the parents who for me should have been prosecuted, for neglect.

for me thats where the problem started in the first place. they would not have got the constant publicity surrounding the case in the first place and all what has happened since. sad for any family that have lost a child but there is some self inflicted wounds surrounding the case which have never really been pushed forward by the media. if it had been a couple on benefits or lower paid jobs i wonder if a different slant would have been put on the case in the first place.

[Rowlf]

Well if it had been a family on benefits the fault would have been placed firmly on the parents and they would most likely have been charged with neglect or abandonment. It is a classic case of who you know and not what you know. If there is one thing I hate above anything else it is rules for some and rules for others. There was certainly no where near as publicity or help given to the family of Ben Needham.

We are only repeating what was said in the original thread,

Whatever happened to the child was a preventable tragedy.

[Rowlf]

I see the Government has sanctioned £154.000 to the fund for the police inquiry to continue up until March 2018. this is on top of the £11m already spent. The MET have been on this case since 2011 and have not come up with any significant evidence in the 6 years. If the McCanns want to continue the search they should fund it themselves not the taxpayers.

[Neil]

It's a nice cushy job for the officers involved. I hope they are giving the same level of commitment to all missing children. I still think the parents are 100% to blame and they should be held accountable for their actions.
