I believe in the saying too many cooks spoils the broth......(being a chef of course).
I think at the beginning the request to send a poster supplied by the McCanns team by as many people as possible (myself included we did this in our office and sent it to companies abroad) was a great idea. It went VIRAL. Everyone was doing it. What a great way to get the childs disappearance noticed.....NOTHING wrong in that.
Then it just went haywire. You couldnt get away from the McCanns. Their online shop, photos of them smiling showing off T shirts, then the money pouring in and being used to hire detectives.....not even experienced in child abduction...
A phone number was supplied RING IT. A MASSIVE REWARD was offered.........it was NEVER CLAIMED.
Then the pink shirt guy who came over like a robot YOU MUST LOOK AT THIS EFIT, you must ring this number.....ANY SIGHTING is important, and it went on and on.
The McCanns went to see the Pope lucky them, (children are dying of terrible cancers and they cant get an audience with the Pope), they went off to other countries, were on GMTV, Ophrah, on and on and on and on AND EVERYTIME they made the same EXCUSE it was like being in your garden WE DID NOTHING WRONG. It was a MANTRA.....in the end people got fed up of hearing about it. DOCTORS making excuses......this went horribly wrong for them, as people started to turn against them.
The constant pushing by detectives and pink man, the fact they disclosed that the child had a rare eye defect (AGAINST ALL ADVICE), THE phone number which brought in all the sightings from all over the world, RUINED any chances the child could have had to be found alive if she was abducted by child pedophile ring.
The child was simply TOO HOT TO HANDLE.
Then the suing began......WHAT amazes me no one was allowed to write anything NEGATIVE about the McCanns to do so would get them CARTER RUCKED, yet only recently The Sun and other Red tops were allowed to print things like MADDY FOUND IN GREECE, MADDY FOUND IN IRELAND. ROMA GYPSIES CHILD ABDUCTORS, BLACK TRACTOR MAN MURDERING DRUG ADDICT, and not one word said against any of this...NOT ONE CARTER RUCK or sue.......WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE............IS NOT GOOD FOR THE GANDER OBVIOUSLY.
ALL THESE THINGS make people ANGRY. The injustice of it, the xenopobia carried alonside the McCanns case, the amount of families TORN APART by it.....the debris is HUGE...........
The Madness or the Tiger devoured her...........
The McCanns should have stopped with the poster campaign and let the police do their job.
What they did had the opposite effect. The police were so overcome by sightings, and creepy people that any real detective work was lost. They had to check EVERYTHING. They were villified by McCann supporters it became almost sickening. The same police force who have high level of expertise in child disappearance, and NOT ONE child has ever been SNATCHED from a bed in Portugal.
IF THIS CHILD HAD GONE MISSING IN THE UK....I bet your bottom dollar Scotland Yard would never have allowed the McCanns to get involved or interfere in anyway.
The FMC became not about Madeleine but it changed to Get Amaral Campaign........it became nasty, and left a horrible taste in the mouth....... This was ENCOURAGED BY MRS MCCANN in her own book, who had the AUDACITY to say “I think I could probably forgive Madeleine's abductor, yet wants harm to Amaral.....
I would say at the beginning of this journey 80% of my family and friends thought the child had been abducted they believed EVERYTHING the McCanns said, now its about 5%...The rest of them are just FED UP OF READING about it, they are sick to death of it, what a real shame for the child...when they hear the word McCann they turn the T.V. over, they no longer read the BULLcrap in the papers, and their eyes just roll and they sigh.....
Even hardened McCann supporters like my care worker has turned away from them.
No the tiger was unleashed by the McCanns and sadly the Tiger devoured her.............
