Was the book Madeleine written for cathartic or financial reasons?

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

Typical response. Change the subject and avoid the issue because it is uncomfortable.
There is a load of pious twaddle spouted by the McCanns with reference to Dr Amaral's book and the effect it will have on the surviving children. Dr Amaral's book must be banned world wide because of this. But it is perfectly acceptable for the children to read the contents of Dr K McCanns book.

You think that the Sun suggested to her that she write about her daughter's genitals?

I think that the publisher and the Sun needed crispy pages, the ghost writer helped.

[Sherlock Holmes]

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.

This is a very important point. Organised Paedophile groups and child trafficking groups in general account for tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people. It is impossible to compile accurate statistics on who ends up where for what, but it is reasonable to assume that there are large numbers of people who have been kept alive for many years for one purpose or another.

The McCanns did, though, right from the start.

But apparently it wasn't enough..

It seems to me that it would be impossible to compile accurate statistics on how many people are involved in organised paedophile groups or child trafficking groups, perhaps we could try asking our local Labour Party candidates.

Good idea!!

.... quote removed as argumentative ...

I've already provided a link to Tara Burke at least twice. She was only three and was only rescued because another little hostage managed to escape and alert the police.

Statistics on the age of abducted and murdered children can only be compiled the bodies / murderers are found (or other compelling evidence indicating a suspicious death). Otherwise the child is still missing.

If no trace of the child is found, then murder may seem likely, but not a fact.

[Mr Gray]

Unbelievably warped imo.

Might seem warped top you and other posters on here but this IS the way some doctors speak

[Mr Gray]

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

In think KM is honest and I think you...and several others..need their heads examined.

The court will decide wether amarals book is libellous...simple as  that...not the McCanns

I'm glad we've got that sorted - courts decide what is and what is not libel.

And your ISPs (including giant telecommunications companies), as they shared the NCCL's philosophy (but that isn't mentioned by the Mail's simplistic politically-motivated witch hunt).

[ferryman]

By the same token, terminological inexatitudes such as that Eddie had "no hesitation" in reacting to the Renault (when Eddie did no such thing!); that Madeleine was transported somewhere dead in the Renault by Kate and Gerry (when both the forensics and the canine reactions say the opposite); that cadaver scent was detected all over the place (when both Harrison and Grime say the opposite); that he (Amaral) was more knowledgeable on forensics than Prior ... (etc.)

ought to be persuasive evidence that Amaral has perpetuated falsehoods that tend to lower the reputations of Kate and Gerry ...

That ought to weigh heavily in favour of Kate and Gerry.

And did Kate ever sack a liaison officer from the Leicestershire police who asked her where her daughter was?

There's no evidence of it anything we read ....

Why wouldn't they hunt trolls for a change ?

[AnneGuedes]

It's the Mail

(I was just replying to WS's mention of the Labour Party, Anne. There's a 'scandal' at the moment. OT no doubt).

Sorry, Lyall, I wasn't aware of that.
