3rd May 2014 - Seventh Anniversary Since Madeleine’s Abduction
2 May 2014 at 00:21
Seven years without our daughter, seven years without a big sister for Sean and Amelie. Sometimes we feel totally stuck for words. A lot of the time there are no words. Our situation seems as unbelievable as it did that very first night without Madeleine.
                     
Whenever I find myself becoming paralysed with disbelief, unease, frustration or sadness, I have to refocus my mind on the positives, of which there are many.
                     
The Metropolitan Police force continue to make encouraging progress in their investigation with new evidence being uncovered, fresh information coming in to the inquiry following appeals and subsequently, links being made between people and events. We are hugely grateful to the general public for continuing to support the investigation, especially those who have found the courage to come forward with information despite difficult circumstances. Whilst the MPS are cautiously optimistic of beginning enquiries on the ground in Portugal in the near future, we really hope that this will turn into a concerted effort from the Portuguese authorities as we know there is still a lot to do. Working together is key to the progress of the investigation and a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) could provide a more streamlined way of working with less bureaucracy. It may be seven years since we last saw Madeleine but the passing of further weeks and months as a result of unnecessary delays and barriers are not only frustrating, they are incredibly distressing. Each day without Madeleine and each day of not knowing is another day too many, regardless of how much time has already gone by.

May is an important month for all missing children and their families worldwide with May 25th being International Missing Children’s Day. This May is particularly special in the UK as a new enhanced Child Rescue Alert (CRA) system (to help find abducted and missing children in serious danger) is to be launched by the charity Missing People and the National Crime Agency. This system (based on the highly effective ‘Amber Alert’ in the USA) I believe, will help to save the lives of abducted children and ease the suffering faced by their families. It’s a very exciting step forward.

Throughout the whole month, the charity Missing People are running a ‘Forget-Me-Not’ campaign with several different ways for the public to get involved to help find missing children. One really important and simple way you can get on board is by signing up to the Child Rescue Alert. By registering, you will receive an alert with relevant information, by text or email, when a child is abducted in your area. This way you can join the search immediately and play a vital role in helping to find a child in danger. Please take a minute to visit www.childrescuealert.org.uk and sign up today. There are several other ways to help too – Take a look on www.missingpeople.org.uk.
                   
It goes without saying, but needs to be said….We are grateful beyond words for the continued and unwavering commitment, help and love from all our faithful supporters. Thank you SO much for keeping Madeleine in your hearts.

                     
                      SEVEN YEARS.
                              STILL MISSING.
                              STILL MISSED.
                              NEVER FORGOTTEN.
                              THANK YOU.

Kate

thank you bb1, I urge everyone to spread this to everyone you know.

Madeleine (and others in a similar way) are reliant on people helping them in any way they can.

We only have to stop for a minute and think if that were our child or us when we were children. Would we want people giving up on us or would we want people giving their all to find us?

I do so admire Kate for her ability to actually try to DO something about it.

The icing on the cake would be if the child is found, hopefully alive.

Mutton really is a piece of work, isn't she? Bitterness and spite just oozing from her.  

She will self combust if she continues like this.   

Hope not, with all that nylon on her bonce.   

It'll just melt Bonny.

Mutton really is a fool.

Technology has overtaken the old police methods and ideas like Amber Alert, are simply not necessary. Nothing beats social networking for getting an urgent message out to the public, and Amber Alert looks old fashioned and superfluous by comparison.

She clearly assumes the entire population is like her, glued to a phone and twattering and farcebooking 24/7 in their internet ghetto.

She just thinks she is where it's at.   

Yes, she probably thinks she's Cool, or something.     

Yes, Bonny. 100% and everyone wants to be just like her.    

Mutton, you stink.

That's just the smell of all that melting plastic pedro.

I agree with you lily.

This post is to those people who think they are perfect and have decided to post their perfect-parenting opinions on this page. None of us want to hear your opinion!

Madeleine could have easily been stolen from her family even if Gerry and Kate were in the next room. By blaming Madeleine's parents, you let the abductor off the hook. You also are victimising victims. You are kicking people when they are at their lowest. Imagine the unbearable pain Madeleine's family are going through. Put yourself in their shoes. And don't say this could never happen to you. This could happen to any of us.

As a friend of Gerry and Kate's, I cry when I see them. They wear a shroud of sadness. Knowing them and the kind, loving people they are, it breaks my heart to read horrible comments on this page. If it was your friend and someone was saying horrible things about them that you know are absolute lies, you would be upset too.

Please think about what you post here. Words hurt! If you cannot show compassion, please remove yourself from our page. Anyone posting comments about leaving children alone or anything else negative will be removed.

Thank you to those who remain supportive, compassionate and most of all, care so much about Madeleine.

Now let's get her home!

The Gonzo fan club is, sadly, incapable of compassion, and takes sadistic glee in hurting people.

It's all a game to them anyway. Who can write the foulest comment is the order of the issue.

Those who write abuse are not remotely "perfect parents"
By the abuse they write they show that they are lacking in compassion, empathy, charity and forgiveness. All qualities that children need to have in their parents if they are to grow into worthwhile human beings.
