Madeleine McCann's Latest Sighting?

Jimbuna · 07-28-11, 10:33 AM

This report has got me wondering/hoping for the best.

Madeleine McCann's family has played down a possible sighting of the missing child in India.
Local police are said to be investigating after a British woman spotted a six-year-old girl who appeared to resemble Madeleine in a market in the city of Leh in northern India on Friday night.
A French woman and a Belgian man who were with the girl insisted they were her biological parents but police took their passports to check, the Chandigarh Tribune newspaper reported.

Yes indeed, there is hope and opportunity!

Fingers crossed, for a successful find, and for the psychological wellbeing of all involved over the coming years.

Is there a point that a reunion with natural parents would prove to be - I'm trying to think of the right word here - negative, fruitless, worthless? How have other people returned to the fold? Glad it's not me, and I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else in the future.

I bet that "I saw Elvis" will be substituted with "I saw Madeleine" very soon.

Once had a colleague who was involved in a two year reunion and he told me the 'experts' were absolutely clueless as to how either party would react....even after psychological assessments etc.

I'd have thought a lot would be down to how the child had been treated whilst away from their parents.

It's probably just a turban myth...

Nothing will change the fact that they were lousy parents who are responsible for losing their kid. As if anything will change that we must hear about this nonsense every day forever. Nobody else ever lost a kid.
