I am so worried about this little girl, but can't always find out on the tv, so I thought I would start this, as the thread is talking about stuff, I just want the latest updates please. If this offends anyone I am sorry, but I want to know the updates on this case.

yep - in the absence of any actual news feel free to post any old links to vomit inducing websites !!!

This thread is for NEWS - get it yet ?

donnie · 09/05/2007 14:50

ain't worth the effort scatterbrain.

minkybiscuit · 09/05/2007 14:51

Well then, the bottom line is - they havent found her - there is no news only speculation - end of thread effectively

no wont piss off

minkybiscuit · 09/05/2007 15:03

If you're referring to me littlemiss, I was just stating the obvious. Speculation is fantastic for passing the time but as for actual meaningful developments? Show me some?

minkybiscuit · 09/05/2007 15:07

None of it means anything unless that little one ends up back with where she should be. In some ways, it feels as though this is being followed like its some kind of soap opera plot. We, the public, do not need to know every bit of the police's investigation - it doesnt concern us so why should we? Surely the outcome is all the matters.

scatterbrain · 09/05/2007 15:09

sarahinphuket - that was pretty rude yourself !

PetronellaPinkPants · 09/05/2007 15:09

speculation is fantastic for passing the time...

I bet they would all be delighted to hear that the disappearence of their dd is helping people to pass the time...

quietmouse · 09/05/2007 15:10

fgs - it does concern us. Some of us are very concerned about that little girl. Is that so difficult for other mothers to understand?

I don't get this mentality, I really don't.

Lets hope the car leads to some good news for this poor family.

rowan1971 · 09/05/2007 15:12

ffs, quietmouse, we are all concerned about the girl. It's just that not all of us enjoy manufacturing hysteria.

PetronellaPinkPants · 09/05/2007 15:13

this is pathetic

A bunch of grown women bickering over their right to dissect the lives of these people

Makes me vom

VULTURES THE LOT OF YOU

Speculation is not necessarily a dirty word. In some circumstances, speculation can lead to new ideas and new leads about what has happened and might compel people to come forward with information that they previously had not thought would be important.

auntyspan · 09/05/2007 15:17

Here we go again...... people are going to discuss this tragic story - whether its in the lift at work, in the supermarket queue or on this board.

If you don't like it, leave the thread.

scatterbrain · 09/05/2007 15:19

There's a fine line though between discussing actual developments and posting ghoulish links to dodgy websites imho

We all know why Madeleine could ahve been taken - we don't need it ramming down our throats - some people have crossed that line - that's all. the thread is for actual NEWS - not for speculating on what might be haopening`, or what might have happened in the past.

mommajools · 09/05/2007 15:21

theres film of police with item of clothing found on sky

PetronellaPinkPants · 09/05/2007 15:21

In fact she could have been abducted by aliens fgs
NO-ONE KNOWS

kookaburra · 09/05/2007 15:22

Maybe needs a new thread for discussion, not just news. It is a valid topic for discussion - everyone in ofices shops hardressers etc is discussing, and not in the politically correct way some mumsnetters would impose.

Rantum · 09/05/2007 15:23

People talk about events that happen to other people because we are human; we are capable of empathy and of sharing feelings, emotions and information.

Some people feel that by expressing their concern, their worries and their condemnation that they are uniting with others. If this is not for you, then simply do not contribute.

scatterbrain · 09/05/2007 15:23

Yes - this was a new thread specifically fpr news updats only - as per its title funnily enough !
