Re: Madeleine McCann
A total of £12 million plus an extra £154,000 has been given to search for this child, this does not include the millions of pounds already spent on trying to find out where she is.
Good money after bad. If we have this amount of money to give away, then why are we not funding Home Care in the Community, which is failing badly.
My dad had Home Care in 2003, he only accepted it to help my mam, the Carer's did there best, but I can tell you it was not a good experience

Re: Madeleine McCann
Here we go again !!!! Police have requested more money for their search. Last year in April they were granted £85,000 and then in Sept another £154,000. The funding was supposed to run out last March but these two grants take them to this March. I find it totally unacceptable that public money is being used on this case when only the other day families with seriously ill children were refused funding for vital drugs. If Madeleines parents want the search to continue they should fund it themselves somehow. It was reported in the press there is £750,000 in their Find Maddy Fund why is that not being used. It was their responsibility when she went missing and it their responsibility now to pay for the search. Enough is enough.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I think most sensible people would agree 100% with that.

Re: Madeleine McCann
Why were her parents never prosecuted?If ever there was a case of wilful neglect, this is it.If you or I had left their 3 year old child alone whilst we went out dining and drinking we would rightly have been found guilty of neglect and given a few years inside. Who is protecting this despicable couple from the punishment they rightly deserve? Instead of spending thousands of pounds on this futile search, why is there no enquiry into their culpable misdemeanours?Its not a question of what you know , it’s who you know, Who is protecting these horrible apologies of human beings?

Re: Madeleine McCann
do not and never got this mccann business right from the start. spoke to plenty of others plus posters on here seem to feel the same. something just aint right and i do not think there would be a public outcry if they were prosicuted for the initial child neglect. joe and jane blogs from a council estate certainly would.

Re: Madeleine McCann
More money needed for the inquiry squad to spend more time on the Iberian Peninsula, in the sunshine, top hotel no doubt and all expenses paid. How many policemen/women could that amount of money put on the beat.
They should have been charged with child neglect and any other charges that could be brought - all for the sake of a few pounds to pay for a baby sitter out of their substantial salaries.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I agree with you Barrie about the police enjoying the time in Portugal. Our money should not be spent on jollies when children need vital drugs to keep them alive. The money in the fund they set up should be used not public money. As you say they could have afforded a baby sitter. Their jobs have had something to do with all this. If it was some couple who worked in Asda they would definitely not had all the help they have had.

Re: Madeleine McCann
Well anyone in their right mind can see this for what it is. He is a surgeon and she is a GP you're not telling me they do not have contacts in places me and you would not have and that they have not used these to their advantage. Where has the £750,000 in the fund come from? Should that not be used for what it was intended? Does not seem fair to the people who donated it if it is not used for the search. There must be a lot of families who have had children go missing through no fault of their own and they must feel so angry that the same level of help has not been available to them. I know I would be fuming if it was me.

think everyone would get the same help from the police at the start of the search , but lower down the pecking order you are there is less chance of it continuing like this case.

Re: Madeleine McCann
I’m sure if I was in a similar position to the McCanns I would be using the money donated to try to find the daughter, that’s what it was donated for.
When that was Used I would then spend my own last penny to continue the search.
Unless the McCanns are afraid of what will finally be the answer.
