Other children abused by intruders before Madeleine's abduction

[registrar]

Logically either SY took the option to assume Madeleine was abducted, differing from Magalhães e Menezes, either SY, as tradition requires, rejected any belief a priori, in which case spending tax payers' money would be, after a reasonable time, close to high way robbery. Hence the escape ahead.
All this imo of course ;)

SY studied the evidence first and came to a conclusion - unlike Amaral who came to a conclusion first and then tried to fit the evidence to suit it.

precisely, Amaral had the perps sorted in his mind before setting a foot in Luz

niggling details were to be cleared in due course

Just like in Salazar's days

Only in the UK!

So the British police gives privileged information to "persons of interest" in a crime?! Wonderful.

But sadly that is misinformation, since no such cases ever happened.

AN ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION Christmas Day 2006

Christmas Day 2006 – Three-year-old Carolina Santos,blonde,blue eyed, was found being led away from the family cafe near the town of Silves by a man last year. Her father, Abel Santos, 40, said: ”We were busy working in the kitchen and came out to find out she wasn’ t there.

I searched around for her and saw her some way away on the road with a man I took to be Moroccan. We started towards them shouting and Carolina stopped and turned towards us. He disappeared around the bend. His wife, Lina, 28, added: “It was very strange because Carolina is very shy and doesn’t go with strangers. When I asked her what happened she said he told her that he had another little girl for her to play with”.

NO POLICE ACTION OR FOLLOW UP. It was decided no crime had been committed !

Sadly, the impressions that I am left with are very worrying. A lack of enthusiasm in finding missing children.

And your proof for that unsupported statement is....?

No response from the Detractors about the 10-15 times average rate for Child Abuse in Portugal then.

Thought not.

The question you have to ask yourself is: do you think it's possible that they MAY have a link to Madeleine's disappearance and if you don't, then why not?

Until the detectives demonstrate it to be so, I shall remain doubtful.

So you agree they should be investigated then, as part of Operation Grange?

They certainly should be considered, though how much time should be devoted to them is not for us to determine.

I don't think anyone here has attempted to determine how much time Op Grange should spend on investigating these incidents, though I assume you would agree that finding the perpetrator(s) and bringing them to justice, irrespective of a link to the Madeleine McCann case, would be a desirable outcome?

Yes, but not necessarily for the average UK taxpayer - more a benefit for the Portuguese authorities.

A benefit also to all those UK holiday makers whose children had been attacked, or whose children may be attacked in future, surely?

Allegedly

It is not the UK's job to solve crimes in other countries (this particular case excepted), otherwise where would it stop ?

It's a shame the authorities in Portugal didn't seem to think these were crimes worth investigating fully at the time, don't you think?  Then the Met would not have had to give these incidents any of their valuable attention at all would they?
