    Fingers crossed these inspirational parents will have their stolen daughter returned to them.
    A New Zealand girl repeatedly mistaken for missing Madeleine McCann has given police a sample of her DNA which will be sent to Scotland Yard.
    The girl, who has not been named, is understood to have a similar eye defect to Madeleine, prompting members of the public to believe she is the missing child.
    The DNA sample is a conclusive way of proving her identity, said Detective Senior Sergeant Kallum Croudis of Dunedin Police.
    "The results of this process will not be known for some time," he told New Zealand newspaper The Southland Times.

    So she says she's not Madeleine but nobody believes her so she gives DNA to prove it... How is this news? It's obviously not her!

    They were nearly framed by the Sardine Old Bill who are protecting the paedo who took her. They managed to win the respect of the entire world with their brutal honesty, incredible devotion to their daughter and an amzing ability to reach the hearts and minds of all.

    I'm not too sure who you're talking about. The folks in NZ, or the McCanns?

    A strange sort of Kncaker Tabloid Reader cult has developed around this case. I remember kids dancing on Henry Street collecting money for the McCann's only a week or so after it happened.

    If you even suggest that Gerry and Kate McCann left their children alone, they literally want to kill you. Like something out of the MIddle Ages.

    They left their child unsupervised in a strange country while they had dinner and drinks

    I would love it to be Madeleine, but I very much doubt there's going to be a happy ending to this story.

    Interesting class-based observation.

    Only working class people leave their kids alone if a pub is involved.

    A upper-middle class professional couple? Well that's obviously different because a Tapas Bar is not a commoner public house.

    Sums up the media's agenda in this case form the start.

    The restaurant was less than a few hundred metres from where Maddie and her siblings were sleeping! Not saying the rights and wrongs in that but this kind of tooing and froing of blame has been done to death imo.

    Gone to more interesting thread;)

    Any kids pissed off with their parents, adopted or otherwise, will be sending a sample of their DNA in the hope that they can get their small greasy hands on some of that dosh that's been raised over the last few years.

    She was throwing his eyes up to point out his correction of the previous post was a joke. Interesting to see you reading class-based assumptions in others.
    Edit: Ah, seems I was wrong about her post....... but how does her post now fit into your idea of the media's agenda when she herself believes that leaving your child for a resturaunt is better than for a pub?

    A child is reported missing in the UK every three minutes. I was working in the US at the time and when I came back all I saw was madeline posters all over Dublin Airport. Where were the posters for all the missing kids from Ireland? Where were the collections? Where was the public outcry? Where was the TV coverage? Where?

    ... And in before "Won't someone think of the children"

    Dunno, it seems to me like you are saying it's not that wrong.
