Another day, another newspaper with Madeleine McCann on the front page. On the Missing Kids UK Website, run by the police and the missing person’s bureau, Maddy is there of course. But so are many children and young teenagers- kids who walked off to school and never came back. They just vanished and no-one knows where they are anymore than they know where Maddy is.
Where are their yellow ribbons? Where are the front pages dedicated to their disappearances and their families anguish? To the white, middle class media, they don’t even exist in news terms. So to all those who have jumped on the Find Maddy bandwagon, I say don’t forget the other missing children. They deserve to be found too.Friends (17)

Terrifying isn't it? What happens to these poor children?
I think all the media attention is going to do more harm than good - I hope this will be timely reminder to all parents that their children are vulnerable at all times.
I hope you don’t mind too much but I am passing on the ‘seven’ tag, please see my blog…

Here Here! The scariest part is the fact that the media habitually ignored the hundreds that go missing locally, and in London. I can't imagine what parents less media savvy and resourced than the McCanns go through - where's their audience with the pope or Gordon Brown? where's their ride in Philip Green's private jet?
It makes me kind of sick.
