Why did the necessity and the responsibility of having to raise funds to look for British children missing abroad fall on the children's families who did not speak the language of the country where the children disappeared?

This has long gone by now.  People have forgotten the language problem, mainly because they don't want to know.  And raising Funds is here or there.   It doesn't matter from where they come. The fact that The Files are a total cock up is now irrelevant.

I really don't want to be totally boring, although I can't say I care if I am.  Beyond finding Madeleine it is now over.

And everybody is a master at this, in hindsight when it is not your child.

It's fairly common to look fot something in the place you lost it.

And that’s precisely what happened.

Did the McCanns concentrate on appealing in the Portuguese media or in the UK media?

That's where Madeleine,or her remains are imo.

I seem to recall they put up big posters in PdL and the surrounding area which garnered huge scorn not just from the locals but from a member of this forum who thought that was quite an idiotic thing to do.  What do you think?

Did they do that immediately? Did they appeal immediately and regularly in the Portuguese media?

Its a secret but yet the sun know's,and some believe the media to be perfectly acceptable as verifiable cites.
What was it Rowley said:"There are odd headlines and odd stories in newspapers on a regular basis and most of those are nonsense".
 Its in that category imo.

MADDIE POLICE PROBE Three Madeleine McCann cops secretly investigated for alleged misconduct
Officers who worked on the investigation into Madeleine’s 2007 disappearance were accused of 'neglect or failure in their duty' whilst working on the £12million probe

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8339516/madeleine-mccann-cops-probed-misconduct/


"Each officer was accused of “neglect or failure in their duty” while working on the Met Police’s £12million investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance.
But two allegations were not upheld and one was later withdrawn after Scotland Yard found there was no case to answer.
It is not clear if the complaints were made by members of the public or Madeleine’s family.
Sources even hinted that internet trolls could be responsible.
One said: “Because the precise details of the allegations aren’t made public, it’s entirely possible good officers have been subjected to a complaints process even though there may be little merit in the allegations against them.”


Good old sauce,always good for a laugh,still won't be long before the next load of funding nonsense.

Interesting article on so many levels.

What were the allegations?

Who knew enough about the investigation to lodge them ? There certainly had to be some merit to the claims for an investigation to be launched and  a member of the public or trolls would not have had access to that kind of information  I would have thought.

The McCann family ? If they are being kept in the loop as we are told then they certainly would have the means but what would be the motive ? What would the gain ?

Who lodged the freedom request ? Who told the lodger that an investigation had taken place.

So many questions but the main one as always with this case is...who benefits ?

[Venturi Swirl]

Did they do that immediately? Did they appeal immediately and regularly in the Portuguese media?

Oh, it’s Portugal now, not the immediate locale as you were talking about previously?  I see, goal post shifting.  You tell me what they should have done then vis-a-vis the Portuguese media then.  When they made public appeals in front of the world’s media were the Portuguese not invited?

The paper benefits, click bait and newspaper sales.  You should realise this by now.

Only from the article.
Who benefited from making the complaints in the first place?
Who was sufficiently close to the investigation to know the identities of 3 officers?
