Why do you describe her like that?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Why do you describe her like that?

Because in my opinion that is precisely what she is.  A most unpleasant character imo who has been at the forefront of the social media hate campaign in one guise or another for many, many years.

Whatever you think of her character is immaterial though, isn't it? It tells us nothing about the truth of the information she has shared. That will be revealed in October, apparently.

Strange that there are no pre-order links to his book on any Portuguese booksellers websites, not that I could see anyway.   Perhaps the fragrant McFadden could help publicise the imminent literary tome some more by putting the links on twitter so we can all order a copy?

 From the Canter quote above:

He didn't see Madeleine as an obvious choice for abduction because...

"four years old is an odd age for any child victim to be abducted - too young to be of interest to most paedophiles, too old to be trafficked or stolen as a baby-substitute."

 So what!   Exceptions can and do occur, as in the case of David Bryant whose four victims ranged in age from 3-5 years old...

Thousands (sadly probably hundteds of thousands) of children under the age of 4 have been sexually abused over the years so I really don’t know what Canter is on about in this respect.

He does refer to "most paedophiles" not all.

I don't care - to suggest that under 4 year olds are not of interest to "most" paedophiles is entirely irrelevant to the many, many under 4 year olds that HAVE been sexually abused.

Sexual abuse covers a wide gamut.  In this case it also potentially includes abduction.

For those who believe MM was abducted there's no evidence the crime was sexually motivated.

I know you don't care but I prefer to rely on the words of qualified criminologists and forensic scientists who have all the statistical data to hand.

Oh God, here we go again.

I try not to think about this, although I am certain that it happens.

I am just not sure where Goncalo Amaral comes into this.  Although he did threaten his lady friend of danger to her small daughter, albeit not by himself personally and sexually.

So heaven alone knows what he thought he could do.

Oh, but we do care.  Even if only cursorily.

No one has a problem with your ideas.  This is a Discussion Forum.

There's no evidence the crime was motivated by a desperate desire for a child to bring up.  In fact the vast amount of adults have no desire to steal other people's kids to bring up as their own.  And your point is?
