Official Find Madeleine Campaign site on Facebook block non supporters!

[G-Unit]

They are not
Maddie is the victim of a criminal act by a stranger

If a stranger got into G5A and took Madeleine he was able to do so because either a door or window wasn't secured. In addition there was no-one there to stop him or her.

I have nothing to forget, Stephen.

I was able to enjoy with my eldest daughter her first day at school and the highs and the lows of her life since then and I am eternally grateful for that because my life has certainly been enhanced by her presence.

Why there are people who use Madeleine McCann as a conduit for censuring her parents, the latest petty, contrived assault on the Find Madeleine social media vehicles being a prime example, is way beyond my understanding.

What has your eldest daughters first day at school got to do with this case ?

Madeleine McCann's parents remove official Twitter account because of 'continuous abuse' from trolls

Missing: Campaigners have worked to find Madeleine McCann since she vanished in 2007

The official Twitter account of the Find Madeleine campaign has been taken down because of 'continuous abuse and negativity' from online trolls.

The decision was made by Maddie's parents Gerry and Kate McCann in the aftermath of a row with the Find Ben Needham Twitter account.

The Find Maddie account blocked the Ben Needham campaign on Twitter, saying "We do not want to be associated with some of the types of people they (@FindBen Needham) follow."

Ben Needham's mum has previously criticised the money spent by police on the search for Madeleine compared to her son - who disappeared in Greece 24 years ago - and other missing children.




Just hours after blocking the account, a statement was posted on the 'Find Madeleine' Facebook account saying the campaign would remove itself from the 'toxic' social media site.

The statement said: "After talking with Kate and Gerry yesterday, we have decided to delete our Twitter account and focus on Facebook.

"They agree it's time to remove ourselves from a place that allows so much toxic content to be directed at us and does not permit us the ability to protect ourselves from people who want to damage the search for Madeleine.

"When I started our Facebook and Twitter accounts in 2008, I convinced Kate and Gerry it was a great way to raise awareness. Since that time, I have witnessed overwhelming kindness. There is no doubt that the good far outweigh the bad.

"I have been dismayed, however, at some of the hatred and sheer viciousness directed at Kate and Gerry through our social media accounts for no logical reason at all. At times, it has had me in tears.

"It is hard to accept that some people can be so cruel to a family that has already experienced the worst pain imaginable.



"Further, in the past three weeks on Twitter, we have found ourselves in the uncomfortable position of being expected to "follow" people who align themselves with accounts that abuse us in the most vile ways on a regular basis.

"I believe individuals and social media accounts who do not block people who abuse others are condoning that abuse and providing a platform for it.

"As a result, deleting our Twitter account is the only option left to protect ourselves and the search for Madeleine.

Madeleine has been missing since 2007 when she vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Home Office minister Lord Bates recently revealed up to the end of June £10.1million had been spent on the search.

And the department has planned for extra funds of at least £2million to cover the case over the next 12 months.

Last year Metropolitan Police officers were sent to Praia da Luz to further investigate her disappearance.[/b]

It's a sad day when individuals who have given their time and effort to help find a missing child are bullied to the point of tears and forced off social media.

What a marvellous victory for the twitter trolls and bullies - they must be so proud of their actions.  I bet the #McCann tag is a positive gloat-fest now, though they may come to miss the opportunity to post their hatred directly at the OFM account.

playing the victim card again. who is this person reduced to tears? is that another shadow.

I dare say they are quite pleased if they have managed to shut down part of the McCann PR machine.

Instead of taking satisfaction on their achievement ... they should perhaps take a step back and consider the enormous own goal they have scored.

Madeleine McCann Twitter account deleted due to 'toxic' abuse

**Snip
“I want to thank a member of our team who took on Twitter the past year. She has done a brilliant job and was able to focus on it much more than I could. She highlighted many other missing children and she was able to create relationships with other missing children’s families to offer support. She will take on a new role here on Facebook for us--where we will highlight more missing children and offer our support.

“Thank you to all who come here to support our campaign and most of all Madeleine. SHE is what is important, and our job is to get her home. FM Webmaster”

The PR machine designed to keep Maddie in the public eye... What vile people they are

[Mr Gray]

If a stranger got into G5A and took Madeleine he was able to do so because either a door or window wasn't secured. In addition there was no-one there to stop him or her.

So n your view the abductor is not to blame

[Benice]

How disturbing to know there are people around who actually want Madeleine to be forgotten about and never found - for no other reason than to spite her parents.   Very sad.

[Brietta]

I dare say they are quite pleased if they have managed to shut down part of the McCann PR machine.

Publicity for Madeleine and others?  It would take a weird sort of person to take pleasure in shutting down part of their PR machine.  The people responsible have I believe scored a massive own goal by their actions ... people aren't stupid and I feel they will not approve as the full story of this escapade is relayed to them.

Ah, make believe time again.

Don't suppose the countless millions who go nowhere near the likes of Twitter will pay it much heed.
