Have YOU seen this little girl?


The beautiful little girl in this photo is four year-old Madeleine McCann. Madeleine is a British citizen who was vacationing at a resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal with her parents. On May 3, 2007 Madeleine was kidnapped out of the room she was staying in and hasn't been seen since. Police have been doing their jobs to the best of their abilities but they need the publics help. If you think you might have seen Maddie, especially if you live in Portugal or Spain, please contact your local law enforcement agency.

Maddie's abduction is a Crime Against Humanity…and she’s just one of many, many children that go missing every year. You can just imagine the nightmare that Maddies parents are enduring. It's a horror that no parent should ever have to endure. Maddies parents have the means and the financial support of many of their countrymen to try and help find her. Most abducted children don’t have parents with the money to engage the national media…but we bloggers can put our two cents in.

There are around 100 child abductions and murders every year in the USA. About 74% of these children will be dead within three hours. The statistics are similiar around the world. The kidnapping and murder of the most innocent among us should bring an outcry from all of us! The perverted animals that perpetrate such crimes hide and scurry in the dark like the cockroaches they are. Governments need to pass legislation to deal quickly and harshly with such animals. They are guilty of stealing our future; of destroying our innocence. These truly are crimes against humanity! We cannot allow them to perpetuate this perversion generation after generation! We cannot allow them to continue to harm our children!
Pay attention to the children around you and how the adults they're with treat them. Be alert to their cries for help and call the authorities if you suspect neglect or abuse. Don't just throw away the milk cartons or fliers with pictures of missing children on them. Look at them. Remember their faces. One day a child you know may go missing.
Mine is a voice that may only reach a few people, but I believe this is what a public voice is for. I can’t, in good conscience, pass up the opportunity to add my voice to those who have done likewise. If you're a blogger, a web page owner or have some other kind of public forum, imagine that you put up a photo and some information on a child who has been abducted - and that your site is visited by someone who has just seen them. You could have saved a life...
This, and my fervent prayers for little Maddies safe return, are what I have to offer...
