Why does publicity in one missing child case invoke stories in others?

[mercury]

A woman who was cavalier with her childrens safety taking precedence over the lawrences

Sadly, without the presence of Kate, I doubt the vigil for Claudia would have attracted any media attention. Is it really so bad that missing people are kept in the public eye by association with Madeleine?

One could argue YES because it promotes the madeleine disappearance over and above others

So a dud argument, attention being sent away instead of towards

Inany case how can you be so sure the vigil would not receive any media attention on its own? Since when was using k mccanns pics a requisite for media reporting of other missing people cases?

How many other missing people can you name, Mercury, whose cases feature regularly in the news? Do you think their families would welcome or reject any media coverage courtesy of association with Madeleine's family?

Not so fast
Whichcases have not been reported on in the media because the mccanns were absent!
Next you will be campaigning for missing peoples families to thank k mccann for having their cases publicised
How stupid is that

Without wishing to sound insensitive, what circumstances permitted Ben Needham's family being given special attention by the UK police?
Here is a link to the website showing all UK children currently listed as missing.

How many of them are featured prominently in MSM?

[mercury]

are you saying the mccanns should be thanked for the extra and late attention given to ben needhams case?

Thanked is probably not the correct word. The persistence of the McCanns to get the UK police to re-investigate Madeleine's case set a precedent which the Needhams were able to use to their advantage.  The McCann case may well be used as necessary in determining what level of assistance to provide for anything similar in the future.

Kerry pushed, but it was the Mccanns persistence in getting the Madeleine case investigated by the British Police that Opened the door for the search for Ben <<<< as mentioned by misty above

Dont know why you are ignoring her very valid observation.

[mercury]

Well exactly
The police were shamed into investigating bens case because they had concentrated too much on madeleines

It was kerry who brought this about not katey

The Mccanns persistence had opened the door for a search and investigation.

This in turn opened the door for Kerry.  She persisted too and pointed out the way the Police had searched for Madeleine.

The Mccanns opened the door for Kerry.  Like it or not mercury.
