My thoughts are with the anguished family of Madeline McCann, a young child who should have been bouncing off to school today, full of the joys of life. A desk, coat peg and locker have thoughtfully been set aside in the hope that one day she will join her classmates at Bishop Ellis Catholic Primary School in Thurmaston, Leicestershire .
Madeleine has now been missing for 119 days. How could someone been so cruel as to snatch a sleeping young child from her bed? No parent deserves to live with that torment. If only Gerry McCann could have a positive response to his latest plea, someone has the answer to this:
“We do not know who has taken Madeleine or why. Sometimes people do things for reasons that even they cannot understand. An act of madness, an accident or sudden impulse can lead to consequences that people may never have imagined or intended. Faced with such a situation we believe any human soul will ultimately suffer torment and feelings of guilt and fear.
“If you have done something you regret, if you find yourself in a situation you never intended, it is not too late to do the right thing. Please come forward, return Madeleine, leave her in a place of safety. At the very least, help us by letting us know what has happened to our beautiful little girl.”
In memory of those who are still missing.
Yes, so sad. I think the family will just have to accept that they are unlikely to get any answers.
Contrast the respect that is being paid by the British media to the parents of murdered Rhys Jones — to the xenophobic harassment of the parents of the abductedMadeleine McCann by the Portuguese/Spanish media.

With Madeleine gone 119 days, I think she is one of those who will never be found, alive or dead.
Yes, I do feel for them. They have been through so much and sooner or later they will have to make the agonising decision to come home, won’t they? How can anyone be so heartless as to look at that anguished mother and not tell what they know? Poor little girl – god help her, wherever she is.
This is all so sad.
Ellee, I’m just off to Lapland on a Santa hunt – see you next month
Truly awful. I don’t know how those poor people are coping with such a nightmare. Many lives ruined.
Maalie, Wish I had given you my Christmas wish list ….
Truly a tragedy. I’m honestly not sure I could survive that …
