MISSING CHILDREN HOTLINE HAILED

Excellent news, well done Mrs. McCann, keep up the good work.

thank you bb1 for this link, also spread it to everyone you know.

My pleasure, Pedro - it's quite a big event, so I am sure there will be lots more about it in the papers and on TV later. I am not sure what time it starts.

Yes, I agree with you bb1, also, the more people are aware the better.

A typical forker nasty - and stupid - remark:

Re: International Missing Children's Day

You would have thought DC would have had more sense than allow them to attend after the Leveson scandal with R Brooks. Although I do note "Home Secretary Theresa May hosted the reception in Number 10 for campaign groups, celebrity supporters and families of missing children." Where was Cameron?

In the Commons, most likely - he does have one or two little problems to deal with right now. I suppose these idiots do know the Commons sits late in the day?

Never mind ignoramuses like her, this is what matters:

"Really positive": Maddy's mum Kate goes to Downing Street to back new missing children hotline

Kate McCann, whose daughter disappeared in 2007 aged three, said the 116000 missing children phone number was a "lifeline"

Kate McCann has hailed the launch of two initiatives to help find missing children.

She was among guests at a Downing Street reception tonight to celebrate the introduction of a new Europe-wide hotline and the relaunch of an official website with information about Britain's missing and abducted children.

Mrs McCann, whose daughter Madeleine disappeared in Portugal in 2007 aged three, said the 116000 missing children phone number was a "lifeline" for families like hers.

She said it was a "really positive day" and spoke of a shift in attitudes among politicians towards the problem.

"In the last few years there's been greater awareness and certainly there's been a greater political will," she said.

"We just need to keep spreading the message. It is a big problem, and we do need the Government's backing."

The 116000 missing children hotline, which is free, confidential and available 24 hours a day, is operated by specialist support groups in 16 European countries, including France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Holland and Poland.

Britain's official website to help find missing and abducted children - www.missingkids.co.uk - has also been redesigned ahead of International Missing Children's Day on Friday.

Home Secretary Theresa May hosted the reception in Number 10 for campaign groups, celebrity supporters and families of missing children.

Also attending was Nicki Durbin, whose 19-year-old son Luke went missing after a night out with friends in Ipswich, Suffolk, in May 2006.

She said: "There's been a huge change in the last year, and more people are aware about all of our missing ones."

Two London cabs sporting advertisements for the newly-relaunched website were parked outside the front door of Number 10.

Another 300 black cabs will carry appeals for missing children inside for passengers to read, thanks to an idea by former taxi driver father Colin Outhwaite, father of ex-EastEnders star Tamzin.

The heavily pregnant actress said: "It's an amazing idea. I couldn't believe no-one had ever thought of it before."

The charity Missing People will operate the 116000 phone line in Britain, and specialist UK police agency the Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre (Ceop) will run the website.

Peter Davies, chief executive of Ceop, said: "Missing children have always been taken seriously by people.

"I think this is a sign of a refreshed momentum within the police service, quite possibly within Government, and certainly within our partners, to get a series of better services provided to prevent children going missing, to find them more quickly if they do go missing, and to deal effectively with their return."

Martin Houghton-Brown, chief executive of Missing People, added: "Disappearances such as Madeleine McCann's tragically demonstrated the need for co-ordination across the world when a child goes missing.

"116000 is introduced so that people can call when someone disappears regardless of which EU country they are in."

Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone said vulnerable missing children need the best support possible.

"Government has set a clear direction for this with our missing children and adults strategy, calling on local and national organisations to prevent, protect and provide support for missing children and their families," she said.

Where was Cameron? - the forker demanded.

For the benefit of the terminally deluded - in Brussels, doing PM-type things:

Speaking as he arrived in Brussels for a meeting of European leaders, British Prime Minister David Cameron said:

Unbelieveable hypocrisy on Bennett's forum from someone who has read the outpouring of hate going on on Yahoo:

: International Missing Children's Day
candyfloss Today
I have just read some of the comments on that first link jean put up, the yahoo story, my God, some of the comments are utterly despicable and disgusting.

What? Have they taken a long, hard look at the filthy remarks and 'theories' on their own site? The only difference between them and the Yahoo trolls, is that the Yahoo trolls openly do it for LULZ, instead of pretending their filthy remarks are 'debate' and 'discussion'.

Or the hounder favourite for excusing their disgusting posts - 'research'.

NEW LIFELINE IN MADELEINE MCCANN HUNT

bb1, thank you for this precious information. spreading to everyone I know.

Yes bb1, I agree with you, this is what realy matters:

What a very interesting Hate Fest there is, being played out on MM. Their Jealousy and Spite shine through like a Big Black Hole, darkening an otherwise enlightened Planet on which we all live. They must love it when a child goes missing, whatever the circumstances. But they seem to love it even more when that child has been abducted. And of course, Madeleine would have qualified for The European Alert, and on all counts. And quite probably found almost immediately, as has happened on numerous occasions.
Such a pity they can't evaluate what they say with such obvious delight. They would die of shame.
One can only hope that they all get sucked into The Big Black Hole of their own making.

Oh dear, what a load of hate-filled rubbish they are all spouting this morning! How very predictable

It's actually quite funny, isn't it? They're so deluded, they think the entire world is wrong, except Truthseekers like them.

When the reality is that it is they who are wrong, and in the wrong - and extremely nasty with it. And they are spouting all this bile at the behest of a convicted criminal - convicted for lying and making false accusations at that.

They really are the best support child abductor/s and other scum could wish for.

And so they can all be outraged, CSI:Pete has reposted a selection on Bennett's home forum.

Hypocrites.

There is nothing worse on Yahoo that what they are saying. In fact it's probably them.

Jeesus. A European Help Line for All Missing Children is being promoted, and all they can do is spew bile about The McCanns. So much for All Missing Children. They aren't there for children, just to be as vicious as they can think of. And they are getting worse.

They are probably annoyed because Kate McCann was a welcome guest at Number 10:



Unlike the hounders, who were left standing on the doorstep....

if the antis are annoyed, for me that is good, another reason to be satisfied.

I like to see the antis annoyed.

I think they are all feeling decidedly unwell at the moment, Pedro. And it can only get worse.

I don't know what has to happen for it to sink in with them that they are wrong, completely and utterly, and that they can be abusive as they like, they can dream up as many 'theories' as they like, they are still going to be wrong.

about: "I think they are all feeling decidedly unwell at the moment... it can only get worse."

good, that´s what antis deserves.

antis stinks.

It is wonderful to see Kate finally looking more relaxed. Doesn't she look lovely too?

I thought that too, Lily - but what a strange outfit Theresa May is wearing! It looks like one of Vivian Westwood's productions.....

Yes lily, you´re right.

It looks like my dog's blanket after he has slept on it for a week.
