Have you heard about Madeleine McCann?

So you may have heard about the 3yr old girl that disappeared while the family was on vacation in Portugal?

Madeleine McCann

There are many opinions and speculations about what actually happened.

The main criticism so far has been focused on the parents leaving three small children in a hotel room alone, even though the door was locked and they could see the building from the restaurant where they were eating.

Coincidentally, this post has been in my "drafts" since May 17, and some breaking news suspecting the mother has just come out today, so I thought I would finally post this thread.

Shocking Twist in Missing Girl's Case

PORTIMAO, Portugal (Sept. 7) - The mother of a British girl whose disappearance sparked an international search is considered a suspect in the case, friends and family said Friday. The girl's aunt said police suggested 4-year-old Madeleine McCann might have been killed accidentally and offered the mother a plea deal if she confessed.


Now, my thoughts when considering this for my blog were mainly related to...

Is anywhere in the world safe for our children anymore? I remember coming home from school and taking off on my bike for hours at a very young age, without any real vocal worries from my parents. I think I heard "Don't get hit by a car" but that was about it.

However, now with the latest news I definitely see some similarities to
JonBonet Ramsey?

Maybe the topic should be...

Are these children safe with their own parents? I don't have much else to say about this except offer it up for comments and after your own reading tell me what you think?
