Madeleine: by Kate McCann

Rosie wrote:There is a picture in today's paper newspaper the Sun of Kate and Gerry, taken especially for this series in their paper. On covering their faces leaving just their eyes, the pain obviously still present is almost palpable and is immediately visible in the couple's eyes for all to see. How anyone could accuse this couple of murdering their child and keeping this scenario up for four years takes a huge leap into the realms of insanity, yet there are still people that believe it and hang about message boards venting their hatred day in and day out and using Madeleine and her parents as some kind of "light" entertainment. It is these people who should now look inside themselves and ask of themselves just what they are doing and question why it is they are deriving pleasure out of such a tragedy? It is not Kate and Gerry McCann that have a problem it is people that are so consumed by hatred, jealousy and the need to extract pleasure from someone else's heartbreak that have deep psychological issues. These people, 'some' more directly than others, have done much to harm the search for Madeleine, some like Tony Bennett have even actively obstructed the search in any way they could think of. The time is now right for them to examine their own consciences and ask of themselves just what it is they think they are doing and more to the point - why? They quite simply need to stop it and stop it now, it is inhuman and psychologically "barbaric". For those that circle Tony Bennett, they should ask themselves why it is they are helping someone who is quite obviously mentally ill to carry on his persecution of people he has never met, about a child he has never met, about a situation he knows nothing more about than anyone else. It is quite clearly insanity that drives him as it clearly drives any stalker, in my opinion Tony Bennett needs to be stopped and if he will not stop himself then he should be forcibly stopped and be sent to prison and the police should see that it happens. In the end there will be a price for all these people that are behaving like psychological terrorists to pay, there always, always is, they need to seriously think about that.

I will be buying the book and presumably it is also in Portuguese and Spanish, hopefully this will be the trigger that finally pushes that person to come forward.

As ever I pray with all my heart that Kate and Gerry are given the strength to carry on their search until they find their daughter and as ever, I still firmly believe that Madeleine is very much alive.
