    Lets hope we are all WRONG, that the little girl is actually with a couple who perhaps can't have children and they are indeed taking very good care of her.

    Zara, I hope your right, but im either the worst kind of cynic or im a realist....
    what you described does not happen that often,
    what we are all thinking... well that does.

    What's getting my goat is the way the British media are banging on about how little information they are getting from the Portugese police!! Especially that airhead on BBC24 she is so indignant about it like they have some act of international law that gives them free access !!!!!!. When all this is done and dusted our press will put the blame firmly where they believe it lies, the Portugese authorities for not feeding them a byline.:confused::confused:

    Have you seen their plea? not being funny but they certainly don't seem too distressed.

    now i understand that not everyone deals with grief in the same way...
    but we have had that conversation a few times, if my little girl was missing i doubt i could be that composed for the cameras...

    but, like i said...im the worst kind of cynic, quite often the close family or friends of the victim will suddenly get arrested and shock the hell out of the country, its truly horrible, but it happens.

    to be honest... i dont want to think about it.

    Remember that they're doctors, so have access to enough Valium to make them seem like distant zombies. No bad thing, given that they're heading into another night.

    Who's to blame is History.

    Just like little Maddie, in all probability.

    Either they will find a body or she will never be seen again, now.

    It's been too long and her captors will probably have got through the not-so-tight net.

    Let's hope her new parents (If that's the case) take better care of her, or that she is now dead and over the suffering.

    Harsh reallity, I'm afraid. It's time to face up to the facts.

    There's a cat in hells chance of her turning up with a lovely warm smile plastered over her little face.

    But, I hope I'm wrong.
