When Madeleine is Found.

[Brietta]

I can still recall traumatic things that happened to me at that age.  i very nearly drowned myself in a bath once.  And then there were bombs and shelters and Italian Prisoners of War mending the roads. And how sorry I felt for them.  Oh, and a sojourn in Wales where I was taken down a mine to see the Pit Ponies.  And all those bloody sheep eating people's gardens half way up some  Welsh Mountain.  And then there was the time I was taken to this huge long beach when I wasn't wearing any knickers because I didn't have a clean pair.  I can still remember my outrage at that.

I remember quite a lot from when I was very young too like being carried on my father's shoulders or going for walks with my parents and a beautiful lassie type collie we had; nothing much traumatic happened to me but I remember being an onlooker at a couple of family traumas although I didn't know what was going on at the time.

So if we can remember and I know others who can ... there is a fair chance Madeleine will be able to remember something unless being separated from her family was so terrible for her that she has blocked it out.

Unfortunately you don't have any evidence let alone proof.

Oh, by the way, I still remember the odd slice of Spam.  This wasn't a good experience.

What? Like you have evidence & proof she's alive & was abducted you mean?

Of course Madeleine will remember some things.  After that it is just a question of putting things together.  Possibly depending on what she was told by the people who she now lives with.

But I suppose that one has to believe that she could still be alive.  I do believe that she is and I'm not doing the negative thing.

No, I don't.  But I have hope, which obviously deserted you a long time ago.  How very sad.

No amount of hope is going to bring Maddie back.

[Brietta]

There is absolutely no harm in hoping that Madeleine is alive and safe and well. 
But I think there is a lot of harm in people going out of their way to invest in promoting the death of a little child and to keep up the insistence that she is for years without a scintilla of supporting evidence.

If Madeleine is found to be alive ... do you think she would be entitled to feel a bit miffed at being written off way back in 2007?

Maybe she doesn't want to be found.
Maybe she's fully aware who she is & is relieved to be away from her parents.

So how can you think this - you belive the mcns version.

That is -  that Maddie was taken by a pedophile gang so some happy memories there for her if that is the case

Who mentioned happy memories of being taken by a paedophile?  What are you on about??!

If like the mcns believe Maddie was taken by a pedophile gang -  and can remember

I would think any memory would be best forgotten.

Whatever happened and you don't know what happened - won't be a happy memory either way IMO.

[Mr Gray]

I think it's worse when nasty vindictive people attack the parents of a missing... Probably dead child.  Saying it's their own fault is nasty and vindictive in the eyes of any sensible person but you can't see that . It doesn't really bother me because nasty and vindictive people are generally  sad and unhappy and are more to be pitied than blamed... All my opinion

[Eleanor]

Okay.  That'll be enough of that now.  Thank You.

[Vertigo Swirl]

What are you.

So the only person who has mentioned happy memories vis-a-vis being abducted by a paedo is you.  God knows how your mind works tbh.

  Sorry have corrected it.

I'm sure you have turned out a nice person in the real world all the same.

Yes, I’m perfectly normal.  Had I been kidnapped on one of the occasions I had been left unattended I would have longed to be reunited with my family more than anything.  The idea that I’d be thinking “happy this complete stranger rescued me from my rubbish parents” is just childish pathetic troll thinking.
