Madeleine McCann info shown before Shrek, anyone else cross about this?

I was. I have chosen NOT to tell my nearly 4yo about this. I haven't discussed it in detail with 9yo ds either I CHOOSE not to put the news on in our house. I really resent this being shoved at my children before a U cert movie. Completely inappropriate imo.

A public gathering raises awareness, keeps her image in the public eye. Id certainly want my daughter to be shown everywhere to everyone until she was found

Nobody has said they want to keep bad news from their children all the time. I don't need to check back to know that nothing so silly and unachievable was said. People have chosen a different way of managing news with their children to you. In order to win your point, you are exaggerating and ridiculing their position into some extreme form of mollycoddling.

I came to this forum after reading in the newspaper that angry parents had objected to the advert about Madeline McCann being shown before the Shrek movie.

I couldn't believe there were people happily sitting with their kids who after watching this ad were so angry that they took the time to complain to the cinema and ad standards. Whatever offence you or your children may have experienced from being exposed to this ad is absolutely suger plum fairy stuff compared to what the poor McCann's are going through and God only knows about little Madeline. Please people, if this ad has made you see red, look at your beautiful children that are still with you and say a 'thank you' to whatever higher being you believe in.

That poor family, having to apologise for 'offence caused', must be hurt and dazed by this selfishness.

Peace
