Madeleine McCann

A few thoughts on Madeleine McCann:
My God people are so envious and quick to judge on social media, and I also did, but I now accept the evil perpetrated by the media against the poor parents is far worse than their shortfalls. It now seems almost 99% likely that this poor child was abducted by a sadist - raped, tortured and murdered. Her parents must be in HELL. Yet people seem to still judge them as if they killed Madeleine. No. It has to stop. They are not good people but they didn't murder her. In fact, the worst thing that could happen to any child has happened to theirs: so they were lousy parents, and, if we can believe the reports, used Maddie's fund to pay off their mortgage, a highly reprehensible act and one of betrayal to those who donated to find a lost little girl, however, they still have been wandering around in purgatory these long long years hoping and praying that she had not fallen victim to a monster. Yet she had. They now know that her last hours were filled with unimaginable horror and pain which will haunt them more than the torture of not knowing.
Where is our mercy? Where is our pity? Why do we judge so insatiably and cowardly online?
Reading through hundreds of comments following the latest new-stories, I expected to see a universal outpouring of grief for what we now know happened to Madeleine and some sympathy to her less-than-perfect parents, but her parents nonetheless, and remorse at our willingness to label them as child-killers and paedophiles and many more heinous labels. BUT NO! No grieving to be found here .Or empathy. Only BLAME! Have we, perhaps, become the real monsters?!!
