[kj] OT : Maddy ... I might be wrong ...

[Janean Lancaster]

If they'd have been an unemployed couple from a council estate, those
other two children would have been taken off them by now.  Everyone
would be saying they neglected their kids leaving them alone.  

I tend to agree with the point about the media campaign - it has limited
the chance of finding her alive.

Cheers,
Janean

I can't help but think about those who the McCanns must've condemned in 
their collective professional capacity over the years;  for neglecting
their 
offspring.
Above the law my arse - they should be treat as an example.
