The abduction of Madeleine McCann has striking 
similarities to the mysterious disappearance of toddler Rahma el-Dennaoui who was also snatched from her bed, sleeping between her two sisters at their home in Sydney, 18 months ago.
Her father checked on her at 2am – and by 8am she had vanished. Police suggested she may have been taken by a childless couple or a woman desperate for a child.
It is believed the front bedroom Rahma shared with two sisters was targeted by the kidnapper, and that he or she cut a hole in the window flyscreen to abduct the toddler. Police remain in weekly contact with the family, who are still traumatised by losing Rahma.
A woman’s magazine New Idea has this week offered a reward of $20,000 to help solve the case. Rahma would now be three.
New Idea editor-in-chief Robyn Foyster said Rahma’s abduction was similar to that of English four-year-old Madeleine McCann, who recently disappeared from the bedroom of a holiday home in Portugal.
“She’s the Australian Madeleine. There are so many similarities to the cases, except Australia seems to have forgotten about its missing toddler.”
Police are still working full-time on this heartbreaking case, but remain totally baffled.
In memory of those who are still missing.
Hello Ellee,
Have finally visited your blog.
Fascinating issues you raise. I have put a link in my blog. I shall visit regularly.
Hi Ellee,
This is all so beyond imagining. Praying for these missing children and theat someone will find them safe.

Oh no, not another one. Do we have to lock our children up to keep them safe? I was allowed so much freedom when I was a child, to explore, go fishing, catching lizards and have boyish adventures on my bicycle. Are those wonders now denied to children?
Another sad case. I just don’t understand people who can do this – or pay others to do it for them. Lots of women are desperate to have children but they don’t go about inflicting such unbearable pain on other women by taking their children, do they? I take Jim’s point – it seems nowhere is safe these days.
