Have you seen this child?




This is Madeleine McCann, a four years old child that disappeared during her family holiday’s, from the apartment that they were staying, in Portugal. It is four month since Madeleine she was mysterious kidnap.


Her story has travel around the world becoming an illusion for all other families that have also lost one son like her. She have transform into a sort of image, icon for all the dead causes of finding boy and girls that only God knows the reason of what or why they disappear.


Bu t what make her so special? Why her story has become so famous? When 800.000 children fade every year. When just in her country, England, 70.000 children are deport missing in the same strange ways. I’m not trying to be rude, but her parents have become more important than the same cause. The fact that they have created a foundation that collect money to pay for Madeleine search, and the millions of dollars that they earn with the sell’s of wristbands and posters with her information, makes everyone think that maybe they are taking vantage with this all situation. Even the police department and the investigators believe that could be a possibility that the parents are related with this child missing.


And that make me think: Is necessary to do all this public campaign? I can even imagine how hard must be to lose one son, but make it such a massive story? Makes even the kidnappers (if there was a truly snatch) thinks that they could have more money vantage and reword of this situation than they ever thought. Or other families to do the same just to earn with it something, which I really don’t understand what could be more valuable than your own family.


I just hope that little Madeleine feels alright wherever she is, and that their parent find peace in their souls when the truth came
out.
