The 'Find Madeleine Campaign' Helpful or Harmful?

[Robittybob1]

What other set of parents have behaved like this under similar or different circumstance?  I don't believe any in the history of mankind.  The McCanns are an aberration.

The internet had only been around for a few years.  IVF how long has that been used.

But lots of people have gone missing since eg Claudia Lawrence and her parents have just gone about searching in a dignified manner? 

I don't understand your comment re IVF?

In fact CL's father was appointed OBE last year:

Does anyone believe the McCanns will be appointed OBE?  Although given their Irish roots they may reject

And after all this how has the investigation into MM's disappearance and the 'Find Madeleine Campaign' actually advanced anything?

It hasn’t.

You were making your study quite a broad one "I don't believe any in the history of mankind"  that is a long period of time, and the internet and IVF have only been around a few years.

Has another child gone missing that was conceived by IVF, had coloboma, and had two parents that were doctors, and one internet savy?

Bit of a dramatic statement there!  Exceptional circumstances demand exceptional responses.  I don't lambast the McCanns for trying to keep the spotlight on their missing kid, even if it comes across as attention seeking and money grabbing, they had their reasons, who's to say what you would do in the circs.

What is undignified about the way the McCanns have behaved?  Has Claudia Lawrence's parents approach been more successful than the McCanns?

Well it hasn't achieved its aim, so therefore the simple answer is no - do you think that's for want of trying?  Should they simply not have bothered at all in your view?  What would you have done?  Beavered away quietly with no fuss and with your dignity intact I suppose.  And how would that have worked out for your missing kid?

Ok Robittybob1 I'll concede the internet gave the McCanns a platform they and others would not have had in a bygone era.  But the McCanns are unable to accept the internet isn't just for them and their views.  Anyone who disagrees they insult and/or sue.

Still no idea what relevance IVF has to the 'Find Madeleine Campaign'?

I certainly wouldn't be seeking help from the religious community that's for sure.  I did say as much in post 1

What has IVF got to do with it?

I think they have mainly sued those  who published in the papers or books, not so much just the internet.

Still no idea what relevance IVF has to the 'Find Madeleine Campaign'?   That is just a point of uniqueness about this case.
"What other set of parents have behaved like this under similar or different circumstance?  I don't believe any in the history of mankind.  The McCanns are an aberration."    IVF would be one of the circumstances IMO.

[Robittybob1]

Lots of people make the point that a child conceived by IVF is a wanted child.  It certainly isn't a "mistake" or a "surprise".

[Holly Goodhead]

Everything imo hence a lot of people lay and professional are turned off by them. 

Obviously not, a fact they no doubt appreciated from the start.
