Was the book Madeleine written for cathartic or financial reasons?

[stephen25000]

The book was clearly written for financial reasons, that's not even counting the serialization rights in the 'sun', and clearly has more to do with km's view of the world, and that it should revolve  around her.

Not those thoughts that's for sure. Kate told it for sensationalism. Were it any one other than Kate McCann you would not be supporting such a gross statement.
The question I would ask you is would you recognise the truth if it jumped up and bit your ass.

All those books are produced by ghost writers in collaboration with the "author". I really don't think that the reserved and modest Mrs McCann would have written those "sensationalist" and vulgar details, appropriate to the Sun publication of "best' pages.
As a selling ploy it was a psychological mistake.

You don't know what you would think or do as you have not been in the position that Kate McCann was in.   To call it gross sensationalism just shows that you have no idea how or what a person would think if their child was abducted.    Kate was honest about what she was thinking,  it is a shame that some are not adult enough to understand.

Horsefeathers.
Thank you again for telling me what I would or would not do based on your arrogantly presumed vast knowledge of me which in reality is three fifths of five eighths of sweet Felicity Arkwright. I wonder how I have managed to survive so long without you behind me telling me what to do or think next.
The statement was gross imo. I would never say such a thing or even think it. If you don't believe me don't bother to reply because no amount of blether on your part will alter my mind on the topic.

That is the conundrum - something that in general, McCann supporters don't wish to think about.

It was Kate's thoughts in the early days,  when she thought a paedophile gang or lone paedophile could have snatched Madeleine.

I believe they were helped by a trauma expert who was called in.

It was more of an autobiography with plenty of blame and guilt shifting sprinkles on every other page

And scathing of so many and casting aspersions at all and sundry!

Pretty awful read all in all with the overly dramatic and exagerrated language too....not to mention the excuses, half truths and downright deceptions...Im sure she didnt write it all herself either, too contrived in so many ways for one person alone

Still my 3.50£ was worth it to read half the gunk

Anyone who thnks KM is an honest person needs their head examined IMO

Quote -  'The stament was gross imo'    well there you,  don't read adult books then.

So no cases then of children being kept for years by paedaphiles?  Are you sure of that?

The fact that some people want to deny Madeleine's right to be considered to be alive and to be searched for  - when there is no evidence that she is dead is appalling IMO. 

Im sure Kerry Needham would be equally appalled.

No dear, not three yr olds!! You will find those that are kept for years are quadruple that age at the very least

And stop crowing about people denying Madeleine any right to be considered alive.....in this scenario it simply is not an option IMO
Of course if you can come up with any case anywhere to show otherwise

[Redblossom]

The first half or so of my post is fact not opinion, the second half, I stand by as my opinion, yes, cheers

I know, it was Gerry's as well. Have they changed their minds about that as well?

Why the rude remarks?  I haven't been rude to you.

How can anyone possibly know how many children have been abducted and kept for years by paedaphiles.
It's only the ones we hear about that we know about.   There are billions of people in the world and paedaphiles are paedaphiles wherever they live.

No-one knows why Ben Needham was abducted - or if he is still alive.   But until his mum has the evidence that he is dead she will continue to search.   That is Ben's right and his family's right too.     And that is exactly the same position for Madeleine.

No-one has the right to declare that other people's missing children are dead imo.   

[Redblossom]

I know, it was Gerry's as well. Have they changed their minds about that as well?

They did very early on, and especially with the mantra from day 3 , there is no evidence of any significant harm

here Gerry talks about abductors keeping chldren for a variety of reasons! how many can there be?

You were rude to me and others by proxy, by sayng we are appalling. Still, evading the question I see. If you think a paedophile took a three yr old and she is alive today youre living in cloud cuckoo land. IMO of course! There is nothng in any shape or form to back up your theory, if there is, please share. No good sayng there are billions of people in the world.
