Ben Needham goverment e-petition

[Catinthebed]

Hi Can I ask you all to support the goverment e-petition for Ben Needhams case to get the same UK police support as the Madeline McCann case.

I just can't imagine how you would cope if you child suddenly disappears.
I am aware there are possibly others my heart goes out to them too.

I don't know who to link to the petition.

Whatever happened to the 'lead' earlier this year when there was a gypsy man that was reported to be Ben? Did they ever do DNA tests on him?

I wish the authors of petitions would get somebody to check them over for spelling and grammar first.

It may seem trivial but I bet it puts people off signing.

[AmberLeaf]

It is trivial.

[whitemonkey]

I hope no one would be so up themselves that they wouldn't sign a petition requesting help for a child because of spelling fgs.

[Onesleeptillwembley]

Done. And Nancy - dfod

[Nancy66]

oh fuck off yourself. I'm just saying that if you go to the trouble of setting up a petition at least take the time to make sure it reads well and contains accurate information.

[Sallykitten]

Nancy66 not all missing children have publicity teams and PRs to write and precheck any public statements.

I imagine that they're doing the best with the resources available to them.

It's shocking that Kerry Needham hasn't even had a letter in reply to the one she sent David Cameron asking for more support to find Ben.

Particularly when other people seem to have had a direct line to prime ministers past and present. But I guess money talks and poor Kerry has none.

[LittleMissGerardBOOOOOtler]

Strangely enough grammar isn't the first thing that comes to mind when signing a petition about a missing child

It certainly wouldn't stop me signing it either, I do think its a shame that all missing children don't get the publicity MM does :(

[propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS]

The grammar point is a low blow. Not everyone is literate. It's not a job application, it is a request for help to find a missing child.

[Punkrockisdead]

The spelling and grammar isn't even that bad, it's still completely readable. I can't imagine why it would put off anyone if they could help a missing child by signing. Bizarre comment.

[Catinthebed]

Thank you to all who have taken the time to sign.

[SomethingProfound]

Done.

Nancy there is a time and a place to play grammar police this isn't one of them!
