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.

I have to say, I agree with pretty much everything you said. And I am disgusted by how the celebrities use all this media attention. Like where Beckham pleads to help in the search, yeh right. As soon as he leaves the studio, he doesnt even remember who Maddie is.
As for Maddie, it's unfortunate what happened to her, but it's unavoidable.
Yes, I am a cold person. I blame the media, reading once of a missing child get's me to feel sympathy. But when I have to read about it day after day after day, in the end, I seriously couldnt care less who the missing person is or what has happened to him/her.
