Serial police botherer, Kate McCann, is reported as being ‘Disappointed in the Home Secretary’ for failing to throw even more police resources at what many people feel is a fruitless search for Kate’s missing daughter, Madelaine McCann.<\/p>\n

‘I can’t get my head round the Government giving up on Madeleine’, said Kate McCann<\/a>. ‘Why are missing children not important? They look for terrorists, why can’t they look for child abductors?’<\/p>\n

What?<\/p>\n

Let’s look at some indisputable, documented facts for a minute:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In 2007, Mr & Mrs McCann took three children on holiday to a foreign country<\/li>\n
  2. Whilst there, they left all three children unattended, out of sight and unmonitored<\/li>\n
  3. One of the children, a three-year-old girl, mysteriously disappeared from the unattended holiday apartment, while the parents were enjoying a meal at a restaurant*<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. The local police mounted a search<\/li>\n
  5. The national police mounted a search<\/li>\n
  6. Considerable British diplomatic and police resources have been expended investigating, checking and validating the details in this sorry episode<\/li>\n
  7. Kate McCann wants more done<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    *<\/strong> I’m discounting the view that the McCanns ‘regularly checked’ on the children. This is not a fact backed up by evidence, it is a statement. All of the above bullet points are facts, not statements, and I’m concentrating on facts.<\/p>\n

    And speaking of facts, Mrs McCann has said she doesn’t understand why terrorists are more important to look for than one missing child?<\/p>\n

    Clearly, this woman’s stupidity doesn’t end with leaving three children unattended in a foreign country.<\/p>\n

    If I had my way Mr & Mrs McCann would be charged (and with the outstanding weight of evidence available to us, which is very clearly against them), would be swiftly found guilty of multiple child abandonment.<\/p>\n

    For this woman to compare a terrorist with a missing child underlines the gulf of her disconnect from the real world.<\/p>\n

    So I’ll spell it out.<\/p>\n

    A missing child = one life. A child missing through criminally poor parenting, is still one life.<\/p>\n

    A terrorist, as has been clearly demonstrated, could take many lives.<\/p>\n

    It’s time the British media pulled the plug on Kate McCann, she’s clearly unwell.<\/p>\n

    Or perhaps it’s time she was charged for her criminal offence. Let’s include wasting police time to the charge of child neglect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
