Yes, its a terrible story. And the fact she hasnt been found yet might mean someone wanted to keep her. I'm afraid, from the Algarve to Spain is a mere few hours drive, and she could be anywhere right now. Let's hope police find clues and investigation leads to her discovery.
I haven't been following this on the news, frankly, because children are lost, are kidnapped, runaway, disappear, everyday. To be honest, I refuse to give this Madeleine special attention, just because their parents and the british authorities decided to stage a media frenzy. And to be even more honest, the pope going out of his way to welcome the parents in the Vatican, with the event being broadcast live across the world, was too much.
Just while writing this post, a child died in Africa due to malaria / and malnutrition. Support Unicef, Doctors Without Borders, OXFM, Red Cross. Be political and demand your government to care for ALL children, not just cute-eyed blond little girls.
Anyway, repeating: Hope she is found soon.
