Question

Have the McCanns offered any practical help to Shannons family in their search?

Answer 1

I can't think of a reason why they would?

Hundreds of kids disappear every year. Madeline McCann wasn't the first child to go missing on holiday either, sadly nor will she be the last.

Answer 2

No, none whatsoever. Why don't they give them some of the money, what the public donated to the Mc'Canns appeal fund.

Answer 3

What do you expect them to do? Dont you think thay have enough worries of their own?

Answer 4

They have been very quiet which is a stark contrast to the early days when they felt the need to comment on everything from Rhys Jones to other missing kids in Europe.

Answer 5

Why? they have already forgot where they buried there own daughter, they are too busy making films and tv programmes

Answer 6

They don't need to - the police have been doing a good enough job over here.

And if they did, they would be accused of interfering, furthering their own ends, publicity seeking etc.

Answer 7

No .......too downmarket for them.

Answer 8

How can the McCanns help, it's not like they have been through it themselves

Answer 9

Why would they? They're kind of busy searching for their own daughter!

Answer 10

Not practical help as far as I know but on the TV news the McCanns had contacted Shannon's family with sympathy.

But considering their daughters not been found what advice could the McCanns offer.

They could suggest they higher their  profile and even arrange a visit to the Pope, yea, that'll do it.

Answer 11

I wouldimagine there is not much they can do really. I do hope they find her soon.

Answer 12

If they did you'd be the first to say they were using Shannon's disappearance to their advantage.  However, they have put messages of support on the findmadeleine site as they have for other children who have gone missing over the past few months.

Damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Answer 13

I think they offered advice on jogging tops and arranging photo shoots etc., before they realised that Shannons family were, as Gerry put it "ordinary people".

Answer 14

are you expecting them to offer help to the family of every british child that goes missing for the rest of their lives?

surely not, for that would be ridiculous

Answer 15

They've shared their website, offered their sympathy & prayers which is more than what most of us have done, don't you think?

Answer 16

The only help and advice that the terrible two can give would be unwanted and unwelcome by poor Shannon's family !

Answer 17

thousands of children go missing world wide every year.  particularly and disturbingly at places like disney land.  mickey keeps that very quiet doesnt he.

Answer 18

I have no idea.

But why would they ?

Edit.

Well said Faith.
