Ok, I tried like heck to stay AWAY from the McCann topic....... But the latest *news* is really disturbing me......
My whole reasoning from staying away from this was that in the US alone a child goes *missing* every 40 seconds....YES....... every 40 seconds!
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has a 35 MILLION dollar a year budget....... Now, think about this folks, ONE child every 40 seconds that amounts to 2100 PER DAY....... Granted MOST of those children are taken by relatives eluding custody battles, and runaways the facts are a child is still MISSING.....
Now that you've seen those statistics let's look at the McCann statistics....
At the time of this blog I believe the *donations* for Maddie have reached over 2 Million dollars...... Now we have folks such as Sir Richard Branson who is donating 100,000 pounds for Madelines parents *Defense* fund..... And he's talking to other "Celebs" and asking them to donate....
What makes one child worth so much more than another child? Ylenia Lenhard went missing 6 weeks ago and her body was found on Saturday..... It is thought that 67 year old Urs Hans Von Aesch is to be responsible for her death and they are now looking at the murders of several other children in the 1980's to link this man to............
Where were the celebrities for Ylenia?
Where are the celebrities for the children who go missing every day whose parents are not well to do doctors?
Do these folks REALLY care or are they riding the media wave of Maddie Madness and trying to get their name in the papers.......
Even more disturbing....... WHY is it (acceptable) that these parents left their 3 children all ages 4 and UNDER UN-attended in a hotel room while they dined with friends?
WHY are they being *rewarded* for irresponsible actions that led to the fact that their child is missing?
Look, I do NOT have a heart of steel, I DO care that this lil girl is missing..... But I care even more that there are children out there because of financial circumstances will NEVER be found...... And folks are *tossing* millions of dollars to a couple who found it more important to go dine with friends than to take care of their kiddos......
That to me is just NOT right........
