So many children go missing every year and cases are closed after perfunctory checks, yet the Maddie case cost £11.7m. Is it because the parents were both doctors, the father a cardiologist. It seems that victims with good looks and affluent backgrounds are mourned by the press a tad more than the thousands of victims with less wealthy backgrounds. How many tragic cases do not get a visit from the royals? If they did we would never stop mourning because there are so many of them forgotten and the cases closed.

Re: Sarah Everard
HiI object to it being turned into a Pollicised Media Circus.
She was the same age as my daughter, and as a Dad , I do feel the sense of loss.
A couple of things.
We are in a Pandemic, there was no social distancing, most nurses are female to the idiots were putting other females at risk of death.
This is a nonsense.
There are other ways of remembering her and making a point, without putting others at risk.
Criminalising all men for her death is a real stupidity, I am a Dad, see someone being being harassed and I am up there.
A basic Northerner, in their face straight away, right prat, now make me scared.
I am also a realist, some men, not all, attack women.
That is an unfortunate fact of life.
My daughter is the same age , I know the risks.
She is an independent sod, she also would have walked home.
I would never tell her she cannot do things because she is a female, I have however explained to her that some men are absolute pillocks and think that because they are stronger they can force females.
Strength is not everything, skill and ability is, it is her body to give, not a man's to take.
I have taught her every trick in the book, she learnt well.
Sad that we have to do such things, but that is life.
I lit a candle outside, so did many others on my street.
A very respectful and powerful protest.
We made a point without putting others at risk.

I can't speak for the others on here, but I have known many of them for a long time and feel confident in suggesting that members on here are usually sympathetic when anybody suffers, whether they are attractive & come from wealthy backgrounds, or not.
As I said earlier in this thread, perhaps we should wait till we know more about what happened, from the trial!

Sarah Payne , James Bugler , Keith Johnson none of these were affluent but they did have courageous determined mothers who never gave up on getting justice for their murdered children .
let’s not start the hate fest against the McCanns bereaved parents too .
Status or good looks mean nothing .
They are someone’s murdered children .

Of course they are. You don't go to a vigil wearing balaclavas and carrying protest banners. This vigil was hi-jacked by the far-left, Antifa, and BLM cashing in on this tragedy to air their grievances.
