To wonder why the disappearance of Nora Quoirin....

[LEELULUMPKIN]

Is not getting far more media coverage?

The met police should of gone out there straight away.
My heart is sinking more and more as everyday passes..I hope that a miracle is on its way to this poor family xx

I too have wondered this. It’s rarekt been updated on the bbc app and I’m having to dig around the red tops sometimes for info. We are on holiday too. It’s horrific. I cannot imagine how those parents are feeling. I can only assume the lack of media is deliberate due to facts known only to the investigative team/family. Otherwise it’s bizarrely underreported compared to other similar cases like Ben Needham and Madeleine McCann. I hope to god the outcome is not the same for this family. And I’m not a believer. Crossing everything for her.

My 3 year daughter took a wrong turn running between multiple family caravans on holiday a few years back and I had five minutes of a panic I cannot describe with words. I feel slightly sick remembering it now. She was gone only a few minutes but my entire life and hers flashed before me in that time, which stretched like elastic. I don’t have any words to offer the family but my god as a parent I stand with them and hope against hope she is found safe and soon.

Why should the Met police have gone out there straight away? The local police will have far more experience than the Met in working in a remote setting surrounded by dense jungle.

@FindNora Nora’s parents are so dignified and showing such courage in such awful circumstances. Beyond sharing on social media is there anything else that would be helpful to them?

This story has been on my news feed a lot. I have just been reading about it and the comments are terrible I don't know how people can be so cruel.

The comments remind me of the couple in Australia years ago and the woman said a man in a pickup had shot her boyfriend and had chased her into the bush but she had escaped.

Everyone thought she was lying because she she wasn't acting like they expected or thought she should be behaving. But it turned out she was telling the truth.

Her poor parents.

Where on earth is she? Her parents say her mobility is poor and she is timid so it seems unlikely she climbed through that window alone to head off on an adventure. But how could she be abducted so silently? She’d cry out surely? It wasn’t a big house, one of the other four people would surely have woken up.

I know her parents keep saying she would not have climbed out the window because she was so timid. But surely we have all had that experience of our children doing something that we never thought they would do? And on holiday people do often behave differently.

Yes, that’s very true I guess. But if she’s wandered off, they’d have found her by now I think.

Maybe she went downstairs and disturbed a burglary? They may have had a weapon and forced her to go with them.

It is on the edge of jungle. Finding someone in those kind of conditions is very hard.

I don’t think a child would necessarily scream. Especially an anxious one with additional needs. They’d be just as likely to freeze and not make a sound :-(

Or depending on her understanding she might just have gone off happily with someone ,my son certainly would if someone held his hand he's nine and severely autistic and very vulnerable

Yes she might have, but why take her and not one of the other younger children sleeping in the same room?

Was she not sleeping alone? Maybe she wasnt in bed. Maybe she had gone downstairs.

I.don't think.it's fair to say Madeline Mccans parents didn't seem in pain both situations are horrendous and people act differently .

I know x2boys, you're right, it's just that with this Nora case, I feel so much empathy for the mum and just cannot imagine what she's going through. I feel such a pull of sadness and empathy. I just didn't feel that for Maddie's mum, but I was wondering if some of her ability to hide her pain was related to needing to pull herself together for the twins. I don't know. I just know that it must be a complete and utter living nightmare being Nora's parents right now and I pray I'll never ever have to go through that. I actually don't think I could.

I think Maddie Mcann had waaaaay too much coverage and still does, and I just could never see in her parents the pain I see in Nora's mum's eyes

Ffs. What a complete twat. Who the fuck do you think you are - measuring pain with your eyes? Is that some kind of superpower?! Fuck off.

Wow! Blimey Feenie! That's a lot of hate you hold there ...

Well said Feenie. God there are some basic fucknuggets around at the moment.

Only for cuntish comments about whose parents some random MNer considers to be in the most pain. So crass and totally unnecessary.

Greensleeves - your username is so nice, your language less so.

In 'olden days' if a child went missing their parents got sympathy. These days their every movement, their every word, their every glance, their history, their lifestyle, their relationship, their drinking habits, their education, basically everything, is analysed to death by people who know nothing about them. It's grim.

Why? Because she called you a fucknugget for making a fucknugget comment?
