When Madeleine is Found.

[Anthro]

....let's all scour the internet looking for images of girls that confirmation bias dictates 'might' look like a teenaged Madeleine. Or maybe not.
But we're here again, accepting the regurgitation of images of young women without their consent. At least it's not little girls this time.

You really are presumptuous: ‘scour the internet’, Images of young women without their consent. At least not little girls this time’. Please inform me why I would need that person’s consent? Since the last age-progression of Madeleine was as a 9-year old, none of us know what a 17-year old Madeleine would look like. Hence, my statement as hypothetical.

i dont think any childrens  photos should be posted on the  forum   its creepy

[Anthro]

i agree  childrens photos  shouldnt be posted on this forum

Are you at least open to the possibility that Madeleine might be alive? Thus, me posting pictures as ‘hypothetical’,  referring to no-one in particular?

It would be easier if you said why you posted these pictures. They just pop up without any explanation as to why they might be worth discussing. it reminds me of the 'sightings', many of which seemed to be figments of overactive imaginations.

When Madeleine is Found, what will we all do?

I use the term "When" loosely.  We don't know if this will ever happen, but it could.

No, I won't be deleting opinions that do not agree with mine, providing there are no insults or libel.

All I want you to do is consider the possibility.

Is it possible she has been found alive and well and is under round the clock surveillance until she reaches the age of majority and can then decide what she wants to do? 

If she has been found then what?  A reunion with her birth family would not be straightforward due to the length of separation.  If her abductors are taken into custody she's then in unfamiliar territory again at a time when she might be into studying for higher level qualifications.  And what impact would the inevitable intense global media scrutiny have on her?

You see, I didn't actually mean of what would happen to Madeleine.

I meant how would we all deal with it?  What would we all have to say.?

Never mind. .All a bi too late now  For The Topic.

I for one would have numerous questions to ask.

MMO for example.

Where Madeleine lived and what her life was like.

How her reintegration with the McCanns might proceed.

Some questions are personal and so I would never expect to get an answer.

Yes, I agree SIL.  Some questions would be difficult.

 It is often claimed that when Maddie returns to her loving family ...  all will be well.

I seriously doubt that!  MBM would would be open to what actually happened- if she did walk and wander looking for her parents and was taken- how she was treated an all the time she was separated from her family.

I have no doubt in my mind the tw..ter brigade will have a say in telling MBM to forgive her parents for their little mistake because the never started stopped looking for her and love her blah blah.

If it were me I would never forgive my parents for treating me like that.

I imagine that Madeleine will almost certainly be a highly intelligent young person who will be well able to differentiate between individuals who have never ceased in their efforts to wish her dead and the parents who never gave up on her and moved heaven and earth until they succeeded in having her looked for and ... as this hypothetical discussion dictates ... found alive and well,

 Your imagination knows no bounds it seems.

Perhaps you would care to name  a few who wished Maddie was dead? I suggest you cannot name one, just a vindictive post IMO.

You do not know what her parents are doing, I could tell you,and it isn't looking for their missing daughter! One is doing a PHD the other is working for a charity- paid of course.  They are getting on with their lives,as would be expected if she had died.

I haven't seen anyone say 'all will be well' when she returns to her loving family.   Of course there would be huge Psychological  problems,  if she had been taken into a family,  she would have grown to love her abdcutors.  The people who abducted her would definitely be imprisoned for their crime,  so she will lose that 'family'  and feel resentful towards the McCann's for that.   However,  being in contact with her biological family and learning that she had been taken from them,  she may bend towards having a relationship with them.   As for the forgiving them part of your post,  Madeleine is old enough to know that she shouldn't have been taken by someone, even if her parents had left her alone.  That is the main thing,  she was taken by someone, she will know that is wrong and maybe she wouldn't be able to forgive her abductors for taking her away from her real family.

In all probability she is dead, alas.
