A Good, Bad or Average Theory What's The Difference?

Now you mention it:

Can you point to the specific part of the legislation that forbids children to go out to play in their neighbourhoods.  Ta.

Read it. Then get back to me.
There's other legislation that you're probably unaware of.

Putting children to bed... Going out to eat an evening meal... Checking at intervals... Was a part of our culture.  It was still being promoted on MW website and other hotels after Maddie was abducted

No time.  Are you telling me it is illegal now for kids to play out?

What constitutes 'searching' post the initial 3 months for a member of the general public?
And everyone just totally stopped searching?

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said: "I will never, ever forget that image of a beautiful, smiling child in an Everton shirt.

"I believe that I was one of the first people outside the family to see it and it moved me greatly.

"In truth, like everyone else, I have felt nothing but deep sadness and mounting frustration as the search for Maddie has continued.

"However, I continue to be inspired by the dignity and the faith which Kate and Gerry have displayed throughout their dreadful ordeal.

"This is just our way of reminding people - not just in the UK and Portugal but across the globe - that this child is still out there somewhere."

Amaral wasn't searching for Madeleine,  he had come to the conclusion that the McCann's had faked an abduction and hidden Madeleine's body.   The crowds in the street when the McCann's were made aguido's,  did you miss that?   It soon spread that the McCann's according to Amaral were guilty and Madeleine was dead,  no more searching required.

Wow, what superhuman powers this man must have had   

How amusing for you.   Yes, it only took one man to come up with a ridiculous theory, though never proven.  Amaral stopped the Police search for Madeleine.

Don't forget the IMO bit

As far as I can see none of the theories have been proven, so your first point is moot.
This supposed, inept, drunken,bumbling, buffoon single-handedly stopped the world searching? What a dichotomy he's turning out to be.
Rubbish at policeman stuff; world leading at global influence.

Let's all quote Mark Twain (or Shania): “Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”

No it wasn't part of our culture. There were isolated examples which many parents were uncomfortable with. It certainly wasn't widespread imo.

It was part of uk culture... It was advertised on the MW website and many hotels. These were not isolated incidents and obviously some parents were quite comfortable with it

In this small forum there are probably at least 5 posters who have experience of it... What's that as a percentage

Clearly. And I like the way you used the term 'incidents', which was probably Freudian (Sigmund, not Clement)
