They're still talking about it because it's such a ridiculous case. The parents were incompetent for leaving their kids alone instead of using the hotel's babysitting service, the police were incompetent for smoking in the fucking crime scene and the hotel workers were either oblivious to the fact that she had gone missing or incompetent too.
I hope they catch the scumbag freak who took her and let this story die with whatever scrap of dignity it has.

Even if the parents didn't directly kill the girl - which, to be fair, I don't believe they did - it's still their fault for being bloody idiots in gallivanting off to do something else and leaving her. I have a theory which goes something like: as soon as a story of a missing child or teenager makes it to the national news, the chance of finding them safe and well is virtually zero. I don't know if my assumption (based on a bit of psychology) is correct or whether it's just coincidence, but unfortunately it's a pretty accurate theory.
As far as I see it, this can only go two ways. It'll either be a grim discovery or another Ben Needham situation (showing my age there, those not old enough to remember news items from 1991 might need to Wikipedia it). Either way, I don't care. Sometimes I feel guilty for saying that kinda thing, but these days I tend to see it as self-preservation - if I worried about all the shitty things in the world that don't directly affect me, I'd go mental within days.

Apparently there was a similar story many years ago. The general consensus of opinion at the time was that someone had taken a child for their own. The child would be young enough to forget about the previous parents and would have had their hair dyed.
My opinion is this could have happened to McCann, there was all this media uproar about her disappearence, then the people who took her got scared and killed her.
I'm also sick of hearing this, was a slow news week and now they won't stop dribbling on about it. I wonder if the whole blood in the car business was actually true or just a fabrication of the truth to sell papers.

it's a tragedy to be sure, and i was disgusted by the number of plebs at my school who went about saying "I've got maddie", thinking they were incredibly charming and witty, when they were really making a bad taste joke about a serious topic, but it did happen well over a year ago, and frankly, there is little chance she is still alive. the past is the past, the family have had their greivances, and will never go to a resort in spain again. But people, there is more news in the world, and just because a waiter "Definitely possibly saw maddy or her kidnapper(maybe)" doesn't make for interesting or informative reading. even reading about jade goody's funeral is more interesting.
Wow, almost copied and pasted from that Russell Howard Live Show I have on DVD. Coincidence, or a fellow Russell Enthusiast?Cpt_Oblivious said:
On subject: Yeah, I don't think even the parents care anymore.
EDIT - Could have also been Charlie Brooker.

Kinda makes you feel a bit ill when you think about it too much...
Right. That's it. I'm done. I've officially lost all faith in humanity. I thought there might still be some kind of good somewhere in this world but I guess I must have been wrong.miracleofsound said:
This really gets me that somebody could pitch an idea like that, and that a studio could think about backing it!
It's not often I actually get riled up at anything I read on the internet but this issue has really managed to piss me off.
Can you PM it to me as well please. I have heard the submarine one but not the pope one.EMFCRACKSHOT said:
Everyone felt sorry for them the first time, but then they realised that people go missing all the time and no one gives a shit about them. And the overexposure just took the piss.Private Custard said:
But people are right, they did get away with neglect if they didn't do it.
That's the media for you though, they will about face at the drop of a hat, but this whole situation was a can of worms from the start. It also added fuel to the damned fire when they were in an interview and when someone asked about the allegations of them killing her, they just said in a calm manner 'well you're not being very helpful'.tomtom94 said:
...someone accused you of killing your own child and all you have to say is 'your not being very helpful'??
...I have nothing left to say that won't get me banned.miracleofsound said:
