  1. Simple, the media latch onto certain stories, ones that will sell newspapers. There were so many angles for front page news with Madeline's disappearance, that for some time she was hot news. Now much less so.


  2. Because someone somewhere knew how to control the media. They did a fantastic job, whether you like it or not.

  3. Because her parents are rich.

  4. Yes, it seems to me that the British are obsessed w/ this case - nothing against the British; but I see questions about the McCanns everyday on YA.  I'm guessing that it is because the whole event is so bizarre and mysterious, but really, I don't understand the obssession with it.

  5. Because of her parents. I think it's bad that she is missing, but her parents have made it in to a bigger deal than it is with any other missing kid.

  6. Because every child whose life has been STOLEN from them has the right to some kind of justice. We all do.

  7. No, her parents were well off.. NOW there rich !!! Its sick if you ask me !!!

  8. Had this child been from a poor family it would probably not get a mention I wonder if that means that its ok for poor families to "neglect" their children but not ones that have made their money by their own hard work ? Few people know that both Kate and Gerry came from the slum areas of Glasgow and certainly not born with the proverbial silver spoon .

  9. Because she's white, her family is afluent, etc, etc.  When was the last time you heard about a little black girl, or a little latin girl, arab, asian, being kidnapped and the press going all crazy about it?????? Never.

    Why? because ironically, some old white guys in suits sit in a office and say that a little white girl getting kidnapped is "news" and that the public would not be interested in the other.

  10. She does not get the attention any longer - her parents do

  11. Because shes a little blue eyed white girl
