What distresses me is the time and money and coverage being spent on one missing child of educated middle class parents. The child is missing due to their poor judgement. I'd rather see the same spent on the innocent victims of abuse, or raising the profile of those who suffer in care and getting children into secure, loving adoptive homes. Children who were born into families that never had a chance and never will have a chance unless they are "rescued".

it does disgust me how the 70,000 or so kids who go missing in the UK every year do not get the coverage that this case has had. Poor judgement? thats polite of you. We have holidayed with our kids, and the last time we did so, they were aged 12 and 14, and not once did we leave them alone unsupervised. It all seems very suspect to me - why was only one of their kids taken when the other 2 were in the same bed? i hear there's a roaring trade in baby buying.
