Just because the media have picked up on this for whatever reason doesn't make this girl's plight any more important than others. I have received viral emails asking me to pass the contents to every person I know. What purpose does this serve to the police investigation? I just believe that this case has turned into a media circus and individuals have jumped on the bandwagon without looking into the wider issues of the case. I'll probably be castigated by certain people for this but I'd rather stick to ways of sinking more ships in an excellent u-boat simulation.

You have all the right in the world to have your opinions, mate. And noone can take that away from you. I respect your opinion on this, totally, but i ask for your understanding that Subsim is a wide community, with a lot of different people sharing common interest. Many of the members here are parents themself (some even grandparents!) and this special case with Maddie touches us all in a special way. You are probably right on the media circus thing, but as long as it puts the focus on preventing further child kidnappings & abuse, i think we need all the watch crews that are available on duty in the conning tower.
