    Any exposure for this little girl is brilliant, anyone who says not on this board get a life ! The only way to achieve the outcome everyone wants is to make sure you are constantly being reminded of the situation and that it is there in the front of your mind.

    Just think how you would feel if this was your child !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Threads by people who think they have the monopoly on caring are distasteful too.
    Edit-Lets leave anger out of these posts-personal attacks just distract-Any pettyness has no place here-lets not turn this thread into a slanging match.I dont object to it,just where its been placed.IMHO.I am not going to continue prolonging this arguament.this is my last post.

    The whole cause is getting ridiculous. How can we do anything from here? I wonder how many children go missing each year, why is this girl different from any other? Why not put posters on the forum for every missing child?!

    This is not an appropriate place for this.Its got nothing to do with whether its technically a freebie ,or whether anyones shocked-its a tastless place to put it-though I appreciate OP acted with a good heart

    I think it should stay........ why is it tasteless......its good that people have the chance to help, I for one d/loaded the poster and have sent the link to friends asking them to d/load and take with them on holiday, hopefully if we all pull together then she will come home to her family, I can't imagine how her family must be feeling..... even my kids are affected by it, questioning our security at home... so much so I spent last night locking windows and showing them how to use the panic button if the need arises... so in my opinion it should stay... and thank you to the OP I didn't know a poster existed ...

    You must be insane. People have the chance to help?! If you find this girl then well done, but I seriously doubt that you or anyone who downloads a poster will help in any way. It's just a pathetic attempt for people to make themselves feel good. I'm pretty sure awareness of this case is already high, it's everywhere. As for a panic button, what is the world coming to.
