Good grief, you certainly take things out of context.

No Clare, I didn't mean that Portugal is to blame,how absurd, all that I was doing was following up your post when you said that Portugal is allegedly part of the child abduction network.
That is the reason why I mentioned about the authorities there not keeping records of known paedophiles and child abductors. If they did perhaps they might have been better prepared.
It's no secret that their investigations have been a complete disaster.

Yes, tragic as this case is I will dare to say that because of Maddies abduction, countries are at last beginning to work together and perhaps their efforts will prevent this ever happening again, which in my simplistic mind can only be a good thing.
I find it rather sad that you don't agree.

And every potential danger to a child is likely to be listed yes? Actually, no, they aren't. There are still unidentified dangers to children everywhere. The vast majority of these monsters indulge in their activities secretly. Countries can only do so much and ultimately parents are the ones I would expect to take no risks whatsoever with their children.

I don't know how I took your remark, that something good has come out this, out of context. Given the very high price Maddie paid I don't think the phrase you chose was a particularly apt one.

Most of all I remain horrified that the people some wish to keep defending are the parents in this situation.

I will leave it at that.
