It does show how successful the propaganda campaign has been in some quarters.
The Charity Commission said that they would work with the parents to help them achieve charity status. Even if the extra 25% gained through being able to gift aid donations went to a wider cause there would still have been enough to run their campaign to find there daughter....in fact with so many police forces involved why did the parents even need to fund a search ? There would have been greater scrutiny of how the money was spent though and that’s something the parents wouldn’t countenance.
And no they didn’t need to meet the pope. How confusing must it have been for the twins to not only have their sister disappear on them but also their mum and dad ? Yet again the parents put their own needs before their children’s sense of security. And what has the internet got to do with it ? Would it have made SY throw money at Benn’s case in the same way as Madeleine’s ? Benn’s mum ploughed all she had into keeping her son’s name out there. I wonder how much of their own money the McCanns have used for their daughter.
As to keeping Madeleine’s case out there, when was the last time we heard a word from them ? When was the last time they updated their webpage? Their free Facebook page is now simply a collection of mawkish Hallmark quotes and not much else ( whatever did happen to the webmaster updating the OFM webpage with people’s efforts to help in the search ? )....one thing we agree on though, it was never about Madeleine...it was always about them.
The McCann's said they couldn't run Madeleine's fund as a charity, it wasn't just the McCann's involved they had lawyers too, so it doesn't look as though it was possible does it. If you have a problem with how the money was spent then contact the fund.
So you don't think the McCann's should have had a campaign to find their daughter and keep her in the public eye? So parents of the missing shouldn't put posters up with the face of their child on them, because the Police are searching for their child. How can the Police apart from contacting the Police in other countries, get the child's face known to the public of other countries?
The Portuguese shelved the case anyway so there wasn't a Police force searching for Madeleine they had to employ private detectives.
The twins were being entertained by family members, remember they went to the creche by themselves, neither Madeleine or their parents were there then. Would it have been better for the twins to have stayed around their parents crying hysterically all the time? The Pope was close to God in the McCann's eyes they wanted him to bless Madeleine. Also it advertised the fact that Madeleine was missing to those in Rome and anyone else who saw it on the tv.
There you go, Ben Needham's Mum wanted Bens name out there, that is what the McCann's wanted too, yet you put Ben's Mum on a pedestal, that is so cruel. Ben's mum said in her book [have you read it?] she would have done EXACTLY the same as the McCann's if she had been in their position.
Now you are asking why they are NOT keeping Madeleine's name out there, how strange. I can only presume they have been told to keep quiet at the moment. Yes it is about them, something they never wanted.
