An Inept Investigation?

[Brietta]

Shockingly callous if so.

I think so too.  Then you and I probably respect the rule of law and order which we hope will lead to justice being served; I think that is the least any missing person can expect ... even people whose surname is McCann or Cipriano.

In my opinion Madeleine didn't even get eighteen months attention from the Judicial Police.  The first thing Goncalo Amaral was interested in was how best to convict her parents of something - anything!  He tells us so in his book and he tells us so in the nature of his leaks to the press.

I think that betrays a certain ineptitude right from the word go and I think Madeleine deserved better than that as would any other child in a like situation.

Everywhere’s full of paedophiles unfortunately.  Perhaps you can supply the per capita data on paedos for Rothley versus PdL and then we will be in a better position to judge whether or not whether your argument holds any water.

No, 'everywhere' is not 'full' of paedophiles.

There are roughly 100,000 people on the register in the UK out of a population of 66 million.

That is in no way 'full'.  It's a very, very small percentage.

So is nowhere full of paedos apart from Lanchashire and Leicestershire then?  Make up your mind!

By the way, you grossly underestimate the number of paedophiles in this country IMO

If we take 600,000 as an estimate of paedophiles in Britain, then that is roughly 1% of the population.  So in Rothley we would expect between 3 and 4 paedos.  How many in PdL (a town of roughly the same population as Rothley) were identified and visited by the PJ (allegedly)?

Those are estimates.

I'm going by the number of people on the register, actual convictions, because innocent until proven guilty & all that.

What I find puzzling is that after 10 years the parents aren’t asking serious questions about the length of time the investigation is taking. Are they just relieved that it’s not focused on them?

10 years?🤦🏻‍♀️

10 years?🤦🏻‍♀️

I think 10 years of Grange

So you don’t count the hundreds of thousands of anonymous users of child abuse pornography as paedophiles but consider those people innocent do you?

This New Thread lark is going quite well, inntit.

Listen to wise old “Dr” Amaral - sounds like PdL was positively bursting with paedo s..mbags

Yes, let’s get back to proclaiming Operation Grange as the world’s most appalling investigation of all time.

The question states 3 different police forces (?)

I’m afraid some people need to be spoon fed.

The U.K, Portugal and Germany. Of course there’s been input from other forces but those three have certainly spent the big bucks…with not one charge laid to show for it.
