Following the Madeleine Mccann case on the Internet recently I have started to get that familiar sick feeling I felt during my school studies. Thanks to the net, the malice and soul-less-ness of certain people is vomited all over any forum that dares to mention Madeleine without calling for the death - real or psychological - of her parents.
One Blogger/journalist has called for the people of Portugal, in future, to ‘inform’ on any tourists they see leaving their children alone. He has asked that people call the police or social services and report these visitors. I’d love to see the posters asking tourists to visit Portugal where your child can be taken from you if you inadvertently upset a local hell bent on revenge, or move more than a yard away from them at the pool or beach. Disturbingly, this blogger got a comment thanking him for his post, from a man that signed off saying ‘Help us in Britain’
Well fear not Mr Help us in Britain, help is on the way in the form of Mr Tony Bennett. Not to be confused with the singer, Mr Bennett is a retired solicitor from Harlow who has woken up this week and decided to wear his undies on the outside of his trousers. He has morphed into SuperSolicitor, on a crusade to punish the parents of a missing child, lest any of us follow their lead.
It seems SuperSolicitor is worried that the Macanns have made having a child abducted look so appealing that we may all be tempted to do the same. SS as I like to call him (not to be confused with the Gestapo) has decided to help all of us thus tempted by attempting to launch a private prosecution against the Mccanns for alleged child neglect. Because having their child kidnapped is clearly not punishment enough. (more ...)
