General Chat

No Mildred. Its a case of the press highlighting other childrens cases, some of whom have been missing for 10 years. Richard Branson is a trusting person, bless him.

Well said Romany Star. There is no chance of the media or Mr Branston giving support to those you mention, after all there is no publicity down that road.

I am going to add that if people want to foolishly think that all missing childrens parents know where they are then they are very much mistaken, yes we have had a child mising in my family so i do know what i am talking about, NO i wouldn't just give my money to people so they can use it to go to lunch?

i am at a loss for words on the statement.....

"The only difference is the other parents know the outcome of what did happen to there child/ren the McCanns don't as yet"

I find this disgusting there are hundreds if not thousands of people out there with children who have been missing for a very long time and i am sure if any of them read some of the comments on here they would be appalled.and upset.

iI like many others i would think just want medeleine and all other mising children found alive or otherwise to get closure in their lives,,

sorry about the rant

Finally got back on General. Too true Jet, I didnt know you had a child missing in your family, my thoughts are with you all. I cant say I know how you feel because I don't, but it must be so hard for you all. I find it bizarre that people put around false rumour about kids being found, when they've (more often than not) never even heard of the kids concerned.

Who's put out a rumour that missing children have been found?

I would find that not only bizarre, but most cruel.

Perhaps you'd like to enlighten me, cos I think I must have missed something.

hi romany it happened in australia not here and i wasn't born but he was never found.

Please look at these reports

I was working at the hotel on the day he went missing, he and his brothers used to come down regularly.

Despite various reports of sightings and false leads through text messages he remains missing.

Any case where a child is missing is comparable....a child is missing, the parents didn't give permission for the child to be taken, thats comparable isn't it?

The only difference is the other parents know the outcome of what did happen to there child/ren the McCanns don't as yet.

I've looked at the report and whilst I really do feel for the parents of the lad, he was aged 15 (according to the report) and Lord knows, we all know that children of that age have "left home" - just look at the reports of homeless youngsters on the streets of London for example.

I'm not making light of the fact that the lad is missing - it must be excruciating for his family, and I only hope those that have made false reports on his whereabouts rot in hell. But I cannot see how this particular case can be linked to that of a 4 year old child missing in a foreign land apart from the fact that both sets of parents must be in anguish, and neither have closure.

Hi Jacqui,

It was to just make the point that many parents do not know what has happened to their children.

I cannot comment on Jerome due to what the police said to me in confidence but the outlook was poor from the start of the investigation.

Sue

Sad isnt it Sue? The families must be so devastated. I hadnt even seen Jerome's case in the paper, so many cases dont even reach the paper or radio/tv news, its shocking. Especially if they've been missing for years and the police can find no trace.

It's really sad Sue - the cases of ALL missing children are sad - whether there is closure or not, and ALL the parents of the children concerned deserve compassion surely? - which was where this latest debate kicked off if I remember rightly.


Jacqui

Just caught up on this thread and would just like to say "WELL SAID LYNDA HRH thread timed 13.11.15
my sentiments entirely.
God Bless You Lynda

Seems like the perfect circle Jacqui.......maybe time to leave it now until we know more.

how can people say that the other families know what happened to there children and the mccanns dont ... if there children are still missing how can they know...

how i see it is this the mccanns didnt want to use the FREE babysitting service but yet put there children in the creshe . wen we were in tenerife the same girl who worked in the creshe was the same girl who babysat for us one night wile we went out for a couple ov hours these hotels dont just employ anyone they have strict guidelines for those who work for them looking after
children ..
so why did they leave them in the creshe but didnt feel safe to use the babysitting service.... wen it would have been the same person or persons who worked for the hotel

does anybody know what happened to the 14 year old girl who went missing recently after a row woth her parents I saw her father on TV in a terrible state but I have not heard of anything since.

I dont even know the girls name which is rather sad.

I was thinking the same thing LL.

Marion

little, the girls name was Rosemary Edwards from Wellington Close, Dibden Purlieu,hampshire

Those are good points Donna, your opinion is valued. I think the missing girl may have been Rosemary Edwards? If so, no she's still missing.

I just realissed why people are calling me LL instead of LLC.....
its because I have lost my cousin................in my name..lol
