Let's all keep our eyes peeled

Irishbab be careful if you don't know the true details about the conviction , it could turn nasty if you arnt careful .

Irishbab FFS isn't one thread to spout shit about this particular individual enough for you!

Irish you don't know for sure, your friend heard something from her friend who is his neighbour. I think its pretty disrespectful to come on this thread about a girl who really is in danger to vent about your gossip when you already have a thread going about your rumour and just didn't like what you were hearing.

Yes it's disrespectful and crass to derail this thread in the hope of finding a more receptive audience for your gossip irishbab.

lovechoc, my kids go to bed at 9pm

just such a vole thing to have said

but its a vile and upsetting tale anyway

I will never for the life of me understand why Madeline McCann's parents left her in their apartment while they went for a meal with friends. But that does not stop me feeling desperately sorry for their plight and sick to my stomach at how utterly powerless and desperate they must have felt. I have no opinion on what constitutes 'dusk' or 'playing out too late'. I just feel mortified for her and for her family. I only hope she will be found alive, though that hope is disappearing. I couldn't carry on living if something awful happened to my precious DS. God only knows how they must be feeling.

ah jesus, I just heard the poor mother. and now they are dredging the river. so, so sad.

If it was me I would find this so hard not force myself into that police station and scag whoever they've got in for questioning - and fucking torture the truth out of him.

Animation - indeed - presumably his laywer will have have told him not to answer questions, so if he is the perp, must be unbelievably frustrating for the police if he says silent .

My heart goes out to that little girls family. What an awful thing to happen, even though it is not their doing you can guarantee they are probably blaming themselves. Your worst nightmare.

Whatever the outcome I hope that they find that little girl for their peace of mind.

I remember watching a documentary about Roy Whiting - the scum who murdered Sarah Payne - and he would only answer questions with 'no comment' God, that must have been so frustrating for the police!

Poor little girl and poor parents

Lizzylou that was a blunder of mine. Sorry! I meant when I heard the news as it broke on the radio (which obviously wasn't 5pm on the Monday). Error on my part.

"Well i wish my DS went to bed at 7pm .. unfortunately he's always wide awake at that time and so are many other kids well at least they don't look like they're in bed on bonfire night and halloween when fireworks kick off at 8 i don't see loads of parents leaving at 6 30 to make sure they get their kids into bed by 7.."

Thingsthatmakeyougohmm - DS1 (5yo) is always awake between 6-7am every morning (and has been known to have been earlier some weekdays!), and even when we've let him stay up 'late' in the evenings (to around 8-8.30pm), we find that he'll get up even earlier the following morning, so no one is a winner. He will sleep longer if he goes to bed earlier, IYKWIM? DS2 goes to sleep between 6-7pm (he's 2yo).

DS1 does get to stay up later on special occasions like Bonfire Night, Hallowe'en, Christmas, etc. But as a general rule, tucking-in to bed time is 7pm.

Anyway, that's by the by, the main issue is that the little girl is found safe and well. That's all that really matters in all of this. Everything crossed she is found..

Oh, her mum's appeal. I'm just in floods.

Someone knows where she is. It is heartbreaking. :(

I am ignoring all the mindless shit about what time she was out until. Take your perfect parenting elsewhere

This case is making me feel sick, the fact that they have a suspect in custody yet no further forward in finding poor April is just heartbreaking. It hadnt occurred to me that he would be saying 'no comment'

DS is 3yo and i let him play in our back garden unsupervised - i reckon that it is v secure (high fences all round) but - shit - you never know.

The only reason i let my DS (age 3) in my garden unsupervised is because he is out with the dog and that hound wouldn't let anyone take him. Well my garden was secure till me neighbour chopped the flippin hedge down

My aunt holidays in wales and for all the people who think it was dark by that time, it wasn't. Why people feel the need to nitpick at times like this i will never know. Their fingers will be better occupied by being sat on imo

The sad thing is instead of going on about the scum that took her people keep going on about the parents.The amount of bile on my networks commenting service is vile.They are completely missing the fact that a child has been snatched and goodness knows how shes suffering but all they can do is moan about the parents.What perfect parents they must be.

I haven't read it all RubixCube, I can't stand people being armchair judges when someone is in dire distress., but I believe it is an insurance policy - people find a reason and blame the parents. They think 'I would never do that, therefore my child will be safe'. Sadly it isn't true- it can happen to anyone - there is no immunity card. Compassion is needed- not judgement.

She needs medication, poor little April and has been away 3 nights. It makes makes my heart hurt. She is so vulnerable.

The problem is, if its him he will know that if the girl is never found then the chances of him been convicted of anything are less as there's no forensic evidence. So if he doesn't confess and police don't find anything then his chances of walking away are higher.

Of course he could be innocent and thats why the police are no further forward.

It concerns me that he's been arrested just becuase he has a left hand drive vehicle and the witness seemed to think it was a left hand drive.

It must the most painful pain - ever for those parents. I guess we all know that.

These threads are so depressing and are always a reminder that there are a lot of people out there who lack basic intelligence, and assume that the moment someone is questioned for something, they MUST be guilty. Those who said they'd like to 'storm the police station and torture the person arrested' - well, hope youve got your cheap thrills from fantasising about that

A vulnerable little girl is missing. That is the only definite fact right now and all that matters is finding her. If a person/people are responsible for this then we need to hope they are brought to account through the proper channels.
