Madeleine McCann went missing 6 Days ago.

She was on holiday In a apartment In Algarve, Portugal.
Her parents left her and the other 2 young children alone In the apartment while they went across the road to a restruant.
They kept checking to make sure they were ok.

After a while the Dad came back and found out Madeleine McCann wasn't there.

They soon raised the alarm that someone has entered the apartment and took Madeleine McCann. She is only 3 and Missing.

Loads of people have been helping, If you know anything do get In contact.

Cristiano Ronaldo even did a statement to try help find Madeleine McCann.

thats right.

i really hope they find her alive and soon!
but tbh, it's the parent's fault for leaving them alone, anything could of happened (and it did) even if they were one minute away..
Even I wouldnt do that.

Madeiline is my best mate's dad's God-daughter.
She is such a beautiful little girl aswell.

I've got to say, the little girl was in the flat with twins and anything could've happened inbetween the parent's 30 minute visits. With something as precious as a child, I would never let my child leave my sight. The girl could've choked on something or they could've slipped and broken their head open. But, you know, ifs and buts.

It only takes a second for a 3 year old to fall out of a window so I think the parents are justs stupid for leaving their child alone for a second let alone for 30 mins . I hope they find the little girl and she gets found safely but I have no sympathy for the parents at all.

i think the parents are not completely too blame, but they should have thought about hiring a childminder or anything, rather than take the risk that they did.

in my opinion the person that took her, must have being nearby for a while and watching the villa and planned the attack.
lots of people are criticising the portugese police, but i disagree with this because they are doing they're best to help and they're getting blamed for not finding here in 5 days in a massive country, where she could be anywhere now.

i sincerely hope that the poor girl does get found alive

Police are sticking by there laws.

If I was them, If they carryed on harassing for more info, going against portuguese laws. I would not help until they stop.


And I am peed of with people blaiming portuguese police. They are doing all they can. They already made Cheif Police walk out of a conference mad.

STOP DEFENDING YOUR COUNTRY FOR ONCE.

The police are at fault for following laws created by Portugese Government therefore the Government are not helping therefore it is Portugals fault.

There was a debate about this on a forum I sometimes go on, and they all agreed that the parents of Maddie are to blame. Why leave your children in a flat unguarded?! Why go and eat without them? Bad parenting is what they have.

I must agree, they should not have even considered leaving their kids alone in a room- especially in a foreign country.

Although you have to feel some sort of sympathy, especially as there is news that she may of been grabbed by someone who would take her away and give her to some padeophile (forgot the technical term for it). They do look like a loving family, it is just the carelessness of the parents which is the problem. I suppose they're kinda new to the parenting scene.

I totally agree. No matter how bad their parenting is, I wouldn't wish what happened on anyone. It's horrible when you think about it.

Oh and Soka, a man was hanging around their flat two days before the abduction. He was fiddling with the shutters on the window and it's believed that when they realised Maddy was gone, a window had been opened.

regarding me calling it an attack
yes in a way it was an attack, it has being stated that it could be a sexually orientated attack, and then god knows what happened

regarding leeds, i can guarantee we will rise above luton soon
even if we are in administration

I wonder if that sighting on CCTV cameras is true, about the woman with a girl that was described as Maddie. The detail they noticed that the woman was trying to get her to say thanks to someone, and the girl was refusing sounds interesting.

So when you are a parent you will never leave your child alone for more than a second?

Parents shouldnt.

I guess Your house is more safer. You can lock doors. As long as its just poping to shop.

Leaving the doors open, but with blinds down is pathetic.

When she said "Especially in a foreing country" she didnt mean because the crime rate was higher :rolleyes: She means that Maddie would be unfamiliar to her surroundings, aswell as the parents. They are out of place, and its not what they're used to. So to leave a child in a country which she has no idea about at a young age is really dangerous.

You seriously need to stop defending your country. UK have a go at the goverment all the time, its part of democracy. The Portugesse police have messed up and are a hindrence to the investigation in my opinion. Not releasing a artists impression? Not releasing the cloths Maddie was wearing? What absolute garbage!

The Portugese Police obviously dont have the knowledge or tools to deal with these sort of cases. And when people on TV have been describing Portugal as a playground for pedophiles, I would say that it a worrying thing. Also, the police have stopped havnt they?

I think if anyone does find the girl [And I sincerally hope someone does], its more then likley going to be British tourists or people who have emmegrated to Portugal, because the police are doing an awful job! Calling off the search after only a week? Absolutly rubbish.

If the UK police had handled a case like this like the Portugese police have, then every citizen in UK would be dissapointed and ashamed. It is okay to disagree with what your country does. Its good to be patriotic, but you are just defending your country for the sake of defending it. The police have acted shamefully.

100% truth. Dont know if anyone else saw this, but on GMTV they interviewed a French women who tried to set up a Child Protection Agency in Portugal. Eventually, she closed the Portugese agency due to lack of help by the Portugese Police.

Tornado_Chaser, you say UK is a playground for pedophiles?

1) UK has a bigger population then Portugal, therefore is bound to have more pedophiles. USA probably has 100 times more Pedophiles then UK, because it is alot bigger then it.

2) UK actually has a list of all sex offenders, therefore has controll over all suspected and charged pedophiles in the country. Atleast Britain is actually trying to stop pedophilia

3) Britain is one of the richest countries in the world. Portugal isnt poor, but its definatly not rich either. Britian has more resourses to spread the news about kidnapps and pedophiles, thats why you know more about these sort of cases in the UK.

Im sorry, but when your on holiday, you dont exactly look through the Yellow Pages do you. Some people dont think, and unfortunatly, neither did these parents. Tbh, I think people should stop being so hard on the parents. Obviously they feel bad enough and arnt they going through a hard enough time already?

Poor Girl. It wants to make me cry. Its really horrible what has happened. I hope they find her sooner rather than later. I really feel sorry for her family. I would hate to feel what they are going through at the moment. Wants to make me cry. I hope the person who took her dies for what they have done.

I don't like the way everyone is saying "BLAME THE PARENTS!1!!"

yeah, thats the world today, throw everyone in jail and sue them isn't it.

Yeah, logically, it wasn't the right thing to do, but they did check on her every 15 minutes, there was security in the complex etc.

THIS WAS PLANNED, it could of happened ANY time when the parents weren't there (sleeping,bathroom etc)

I have a lot of sympathy for the parents, at people who are saying they should be punished, haven't they been punished enough? I'm sure they'd give their lives to have her back.

yeah, because its perfectly fine to leave young children alone in a foreign country, sure i feel sorry for the parents, but maybee if they hadnt left her, she would still be with them today.

Although it doesn't take a mastermind to watch the apartment for an hour and twig onto the fact they're coming back every half hour/20 mins or whatever. That means that when the parents leave he's got 30 minutes to get in and get out.

Did the complex have security?

Because My house in portugal, I leave doors open all night.. although
sometimes im on my own. I have the security fences and cctv.

I understand leaving door open because at night its really hot 25+ degrees.

But I woulda fought complex would have a least some cctv :l
