What? Waste yet more public public on what would effectively be another wild goose chase?
If I were you I would close the petition down now before it becomes embarrassing.
Helen is not in the least embarrassed that so far 1,443 people have added their names to a petition, on the Prime Minister's website, in just a few weeks.
There are nearly 6,000 petitions running on the PM's site; this one is now 173rd in the list - and there are 19 more weeks to go. No embarrassment in that, is there?
The petition has been signed by that number because basically they share Helen's concerns that there are major question marks about the conduct of both the British police's official - and the McCanns' private - investigations. People are able to express their concern by the act of signing that petition.
I think Helen can hold her head up high as having done something practical to raise and publicise the concerns of so many of us about how the various investigations into Madeleine's disappearance have failed so miserably so far.
Her target of 10,000 signatures may be ambitious. But at least the girl's giving it a go
