Is Maddie McCann Dead?

ask the Father, doesn't he seem nervous whilst walking, and why does the Mother seem to enjoy herself? Rule no1: If you want your Children not to be kidnapped, killed, sexually assulated, abused..... DO NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE IN THE HOUSE NO MATTER HOW SAFE YOU THINK IT IS!!!! What a pair of morons for doing what they did!

I have answered this one before, a couple of months back, and my position is the same. Children under five disappear because (in order): 1. They are kidnapped by a non-custodial birth parent (either they are in foster care or the parents are split up). 2. They are killed and their bodies are hidden. In 87% of cases, the culprit is a close family member. 3. They are involved in an accident and die of natural causes. 4. They are abducted by strangers (very rare). 5. They run away (extremely rare). The chances are likely that if a child disappears and not found within a month, the child is dead. Paedophiles sometimes keep children around for years, but incidents of long-term paedophile abduction, despite the high profile they are given, are still very rare. Most paedophiles do not abduct children - they are usually men who are known by the victim and the victim's parents and get access to the children by gaining the trust of the child and his/her parents. That's why it is so necessary to have sex offenders registers so that parents can make an informed decision as to who can have access to their children...priests, teachers, doctors, sitters, Little League coaches, neighbors, etc. It is a hard thing to say, but it is the truth.

i doubt very much if she will come home now...i am sad to say i think she is no longer alive. so sad.

i've thought for a while sadly she's not with us any longer. ugh it tears my heart. i have 3 very young girls and i can't even begin to fathom what her parent's must be feeling or giong through. i hate what people in this world can and will do, and for what? i just hope that either way, she is safe and not suffering but with what the detectives are now saying it seems only jesus holds her close now. i still blame the parents. what parent would refuse babysitting when it's offered and leave their baby unattended - for a freaking meal - is that what your child's life and safety is worth? an hour alone with a meal? plus the parents seem to casual for my liking. 2 weeks after the kidnap they were playing in the pool with their twins i mean, i'd be going out of my mind spare, i'd be scouring the earth for my baby, why have they just carried on normally??

I hope she is alive..... But hope she is not suffering at all too..

Logically speaking, the poor girl is probably dead. If she was alive (which I hope she is, but won't bet on it) then there would have been a ransom asked for....besides which they found blood in the hotel room, which basically says that whoever took her was willing to hurt her... It's so sad, but I have no faith in people anymore, there is so much bad in the world that it's hard to be positive

They have not found any corpse, but maybe they were not looking for one earlier.

Every parents nightmare, but if she was alive they cut the odds of finding her alive when they let everyone know that she had such a distinctive identifiable eye.

The longer Maddie is missing the likely hood is yes, she's dead but I hope I'm wrong and she is found alive and well.
