Stuju Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi All, Tomorrow (sat 3rd) will be the exactly one year since Madelenie McCann vanished from the villa in Praia Da Luz. I see from the Sun newspaper that they are asking people from around the world to light a candle, shine a torch, or turn on a porch light in their "Light the way home campaign & even Everton Football Club are going in (good on 'em) I for sure will light a candle, will you ???

Guest mandy1 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi I will. Madeline came from Rothley, a few miles from where we lived in Leicestershire. I remember the village being totally swamped with reporters and tv crews. No matter what the ins & outs of the case are to lose your child like that is devastating & the not knowing where she is or what happened to her must be torturous.

Guest Tracey from Braintree Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 We were on holiday at the same time as the disappearance happened (not in Portugal). My OH suggested we leave our little girl who was then just 1 in the room while we went for a drink as she was asleep and the bar was a stones throw away. I ummed and arred and decided he should go on his own. I was pregnant anyway so couln't drink and just wasn't comfortable with the whole leaving her thing. I think back all the time to that. I know the chances are remote that anything would have happened but what if? I can't imagine how Kate and Gerry McCann must feel and those poor twins! I hope Maddie is safe somewhere even if it not with family. I will certainly light a candle. Tracey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuju Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Have you lost the plot?Get a grip woman! Hey Aldo, I thought this might be a sensitive post !!!! I can understand why janette posted the comment that she did - but each to our own views & comments on the issue. So everyone without this post possibly ending up in a battle as to the rights & wrongs of Madelines parents... please remember to light your candle,shine a torch or turn on a porch light to light the way home in support of madeline & her family and all the other thousands of missing people.

Guest cantwait Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I wached the documentary with her parents this week and felt so bad for them. It's so easy for people to criticise them for the leaving the children but they are really suffering for it now. Kate McCann looks ill and close to breaking down in my opinion. I really hope Madeleine is found soon, whatever the outcome, the parents need some kind of closure. No one deserves what they are going through. They don't deserve the hate mail they are getting, they should have everyones support. The documentary was really moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lui A xxx Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 this is a subject where i have sooooo many thoughts and feelings that i have difficulty expressing.......the sad truth is that maddies parents made a terrible mistake.....one that they will have to live with for the rest of their lives......they will torture themselves enough with out others cruel and hurtful remarks.....as parents, we all make mistakes.....and soooo many of us have no sorry story to tell......thankfully.......sometimes it is easier not to think and dwell on the terrible things that happen in life........i have soooo much empathy.......for all the children invoved in such terrible times......my heart really does go out to them.......the parents......and for the rest of the families.....

Guest gothicqueen Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 hmmm I too have mixed thoughts about the parents, as a mum of 3, I think leaving the kids to go out for a meal, no matter how close you might be is irresponsible, that being said mistakes are made all the time, and noone no matter what they have done deserves to have that happen to them. When my middle son was 2 we went to Rhodes on holiday, and he was playing football with my husband and some other people, the next thing I knew is that Joe had disappeared, Graham thought he was with me, I thought he was with him. For the next hour everyone was searching for him, including in the pool, he was found by a german holiday maker and he had somehow walked down the beach and to the next hotel complex, all alone and in the pitch black. That has to be the longest hour of my life, so even if you think you are responsible and that you are watching them things still can happen. Interestingly enough there was a programme on discovery last night about unsolved crimes in Australia and one of them was of 3 kids that went to the beach 40 years ago and simply vanished, no sightings or anything, the mum still is waiting for her babies to come home.................

Guest leanneandmark Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Goth Queeen' Thats awful, all 3 children!! poor parents. I have my light on, and I too, pray so often they will find closure soon. They must be suffering so much. I feel for the twins too, there lives will have changed so dramatically the poor little souls. Strangely my daughter is similar looking to Madeline and we got stopped last month as someone thought they had spotted her. Livvy has gigantic vivid blue eyes though.!!, God it makes you appreciate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
