Missing Maddie?
This is in regards to the missing four year old who was abducted while on a family holiday. I am so so disheartened by all the negative comments the parents are receiving. Yes, their decision to leave the children unsupervised was a bad one. The consequence of such a decision is the unbearable situaton they and their daughter now find themshelves in. I cannot believe how people are stating the obvious... even requesting their arrest. This is not by any realm of moral kindness either helpful or supportive of their pain and hurt. I cannot imagine, nor do I want to, the agony of their worry and wait. I hope Maddie is safe and being looked after. I hope she will be found or returned to her family soon. Please if anyone knows anything or has seen any suspiuos behaviour anywhere involving a four year old girl - go to the police.

I am shocked too, and upset at people's attitudes. I agree with you. It distresses me when I hear people imply that the parents deserved it. Have we no charity?
Noone could ever blame themselves more than those two do. And they have to live with that for the rest of their lives. If there's any lessons to be learned, that is a bitter and hard one. My heart goes out to them.

definite i do believe you. you may desire to no longer flow away babies living house on my own jointly as you have been eating at a close-by eating place, incredibly that youthful. I did say that to my husband on the time as quickly as we first heard approximately Maddie. additionally what if between the babies commencing choking or something, you won't be waiting to hearken to what replaced into happening. additionally what if the region caught hearth, via the time you get carry of decrease back there, it could be to late. It pronounced on the information that the motel they have been staying at had toddler sitting centers besides so why did no longer they use it. we could wish this ends with stable information and Maddie is chanced on risk-free and correctly. Our recommendations and prayers are with the relatives.

i couldn't agree more. i live in Cyprus, and like most quiet places with low crime rates, we don't assumes anything terrible will happen to us. we leave our cars unlocked with the windows open, we don't lock our house doors, we leave our mobiles on tables at cafes or in bars. You cant help but adopt that secure attitude in relaxed places. i cant blame them. coming from England, the area which they were holidaying must have seemed like heaven and they let their guard down. but no one should have the right to blame them. yes as parents they should have concerns for their children's safety but how dare anyone judge their parenting and make stupid suggestions that they should be locked up. honestly, do people have nothing better to do. all the energy they use to point fingers should be used to help fing Maddie and her abductors. since when do we blame the parent and not the criminal. i hope to God they find them with the little girl safe and sound and lock those monsters up. it enrages me to think of the abductors audacity to take a little girl peacefully sleeping whilst her parents unknowingly dine near by. like others have speculated i believe (and hope this is true) that Maddie has been taken by a childless couple hoping to raise the girl as their own. if this is true then at least we can have piece of mind that she is being taken care of and shown some humanity (for lack of word).
