Kate McCann, the mother of Madeleine, claims that victims of burglaries receive more emotional, legal and practical support than families whose children are missing, who may get nothing. She poses with two other woman who have lost their children in front of the houses of parliament. She thinks that it is not up to the grieving parents to search for their child, and she called for a single point of contact between the families and the police. Last Month she published a book about Madeleine’s disappearance, she hopes this will also help for the search of her new book. She also expects more support from the police, not only for her but also for the other families whose children are missing. Most families feel like they are wasting police time. There is also Missing People Charity, but a lot of people do not know that this kind of help is there, the police should let these people know. They are now being forced to tell families.
Reaction:
I think it is sad for all those families who have lost their children, it would seem to me a horrible thing not knowing where your son or daughter is. I think they should get more support, it’s good that the police is now being forced to tell these families that there is help and support for them. I think it is ridiculous that the police haven’t told families before(in most cases). I honestly don’t think that the book Kate McCann wrote won’t help her search for Madeleine, because most people in the world already know her story, and I think when someone recognizes her they would go public with it. I do think it’s good that she is doing everything that is in her power. She doesn’t give up which I think says something about her as a mother.
