    Well said, Andy. Having sympathy for a deeply sad human story doesn't mean that you should have to switch off your brain or be afraid to say what's honestly on your mind.

    My first reaction on hearing this story was what on earth were they doing leaving such young children alone at night? However, I wouldn't wish the result on anyone.

    Ouch, that was quite a sting in the tail of that post.

    I do agree though, I remember the very first I heard of the story on the radio the morning after it happened and I immediately pictured a couple of large people from the North East with tattoos and a penchant for karaoke. Had my thoughts been realised they would have been crucified in the (Daily Mail/Ex)press for being poor parents in every sense of the word.

    poor parents. they must feel like shit every day. i wonder what they think the pope will do. he'll probably tell them to have more babies, then to not worry about their missingdeaddaughter as its god's will that she was takenkilled. and here, drink this wine, its the actual blood of christ - you'll feel better.

    i wonder if they'll look back in decades' time and think 'wow, we were really being exploited and misled by all those tabloid editors/rich footballers/church 'leaders'/politicians. couldn't they have just let us be?

    its become a massive delusion. hello?.. anyone?.. the emperor has no linen trousers and flip-flops on

    I really hope that this poor child is still alive if anyone has any idea where she is pleasepleasepleaseplease tell the police where she could be xxxx

    I also think she is dead. I had a dream the night she 'disapeared' that she was in a dark, damp place and subsequent dreams make me wonder if she isn't int he church or a crypt of some sort. I have occasioanlly been right about things like this (strange I know) and don't know who to get in touch with that would listen. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as I would like to help if I can.

    This prompted me to get my version of the McCann story copied over from my old blog. Apparently publishing backwards in time still updates the RSS feed.
