The possibility of her being dead is so high... and I would almost hope she is... God knows what they are doing to her if she is being kept alive...
Well, since I got in, have watched some of our news and they have decided to charge the mother.
I am still dubious about this whole thing. Something to do with the Portuguese authorities just doesn't sit well with me, but can't quite put my finger on it - even if the mother is charged. I am surprised it has just been one parent found guilty though - how they didn't charge both of them i don't know, if they are going to insist on blaming in that direction.
Still, I could see this happening, a mile off - it was so obvious they were going to charge at least one of the parents if not both. They may well be on the right track, for all we know, but I have been half and half all the way through.
That said, when I saw a picture of the McCanns and their twins with both parents extremely smiley, after the disappearance of little Madeleine, my doubts crept in again. It may be true that that picture was afterwards, but then papers will lie and sensationalize, so I don't know on that one.
At the beginning I said I reckoned it was them, then I wavered from that thought. Then, with them coming home off the plane, the mother hid her face behind the twin she was carrying off the plane, when Jerry McCann spoke. I then got wondering if they were guilty again.
Today, I am not sure though again.
I am glad it wasn't the twins aswell, but why little Madeleine?
Yes Maria - if it is someone else that has done this, I hope too, that she won't be suffering anymore.
If she is still alive though, it could be that her abductor isn't a paedo and isn't harming her - there have been cases of this and the children when older, free themselves. However, I doubt this to be so on this occasion, but I would like to think she is alive, unharmed and most of all found.
Since I typed the above in this post, I have just heard on our evening news, that the mother MAY be charged. The papers said she had been charged - there you go, that's another example of the papers giving false info.
The file has gone through prosecution, who has passed it to a judge to decide what's next.
