    Yeah you'd have to wonder about that alright.

    Seeing as pro-tips seem to be in-vogue here's one:

    Protip: Don't leave your 3 year old daughter and 2 year old toddlers all alone whilst you go to a tapas bar you pair of negligent fùcks.
    Especially when there is a babysitting service available!!

    I was always suspect about this case.

    The difference in appearance between a 3 year old and a 7 year old is so great that I don't believe it is possible for anyone to "recognize" her now. I'd say even people that knew the child couldn't do this, nevermind people who only saw photos on the news.

    Ah FFS. So the McCanns set this whole thing up?! Forced two random tourists in India to accost a blonde child? Next thing ye know, the McCanns will be blamed for the Lockerbie bombing. Jesus Christ, I'm outta this thread before my head explodes.

    They let them keep the remaining child though, didn't they? Anyway, they are not her legal guardians anymore? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/madeleinemccann/2262153/Madeleine-McCann-parents-to-access-police-files.html

    The article says that police have taken the passports of the people with the child while they investigate whether it is her or not, but surely something more should be done than just taking a passport. Now I know that this family is no more guilty than innocent but IMO in a country the size of India, if this is Maddie and these people have now been spooked they could disappear very easily in India.

    I hope when it's eventually determined that this is indeed not Maddy McCann, that those two idiots are charged with attempted abduction.

    Well probably the alternative is to put them in jail or maybe sign on at a local police station everyday. They have to be presumed innocent after all, it's hardly compelling evidence. Some random American and British people think it's her.

    Some people take the Maddie thing very personally, touch obsessive about it. I don't think they are the most reliable of witnesses.

    I will be amazed if this is madeline.
    I feel sorry for these innocent people who are dragged into this. Imagine what this child and her parents are going through now.

    Maddie jokes disgust me.

    I all sounds very clinical.

    Their spokesperson says that their private detectives are in contact with authorities. Although, they probably have had loads and loads of these "sightings".

    It must be horrific for the parents of that child, and the child of course. Hopefully they will do whatever they need to as quickly as possible.

    And if it is not her, as is the most likely option, then a totally innocent couple have had strangers (the tourists who saw them) try to forcibly take their daughter from them(attempted abduction methinks regardless of what intentions were behind it) and then have been taken in by the authorities so that their daughter can be proven to not be someone else.

    Not to mention the stress and panic felt by them and their daughter.

    Just hope that the DNA testing etc is done quickly for the sake of all parties involved.

    I wonder what the parents are going to do if it's proven not to be Madeline McCann. Personally I'd want the americans arrested and charged with assault, abduction ect.

    ITV reporting that they understand that there has been no official request to Kate and Gerry McCann for DNA samples, so reports in the newspapers may be false.

    That article makes for a depressing read, you really have to feel sorry for the parents of the child and no I don't mean the McCanns. Imagine what those parents are goign through right now, some random tourist tries to kindnap your child and in the process accuses you of taking the child from others.

    I hope that the Americans in question are prosecuted for wasting police time and the parents bring a civil case against both the police and the American tourists.

    Ironically if it does turn out to be Maddie then it seems that her new parent are far more protective and caring that her real ones who really had their priorities in order.

    They saw a girl who they thought might look like an older version of Madeline McCann and tried to take her off her parents? Retards.

    Something similar to this happened a cousin of mine while on holidays in America visiting his brother who lives there. Someone spotted his daughter with him in a subway, thought she looked like Madeline and told the cops. The cops went and arrested him at the train station, despite his daughter screaming and crying 'daddy' as they took him away from her.

    He didn't have his passport on him. The cops immediately treated him with suspicion. His reaction was 'do you always carry your passport everywhere with you on holidays??'. He had to ring his brother to leave work, go back to the house and get his and his daughter's passport before they'd release him.

    She wasn't the only person with that mark on her eye.

    Not the first time Americans have made this mistake. I found this article on Reddit a while ago - simply shocking.

    Aha... according to this article, the girl in question is only 6, too young to be Madeleine, so why are they doing tests?
