Posts: 17669 | May 13th, 2007 at 03:27pm I'm sorry but why are all these celebrities paying so much money for one girl to be bought home alive and well, when the money would be much better spent on a charity that helps find missing people.
I don't know, I mean, I want her back safe and well, but it's horrendously unfair that one little girl gets celebrities offering millions of pounds for her safe return when other kids like her are kidnapped everyday. |

You have a point there, like Madonna, instead of adopting one child and taking it from his parents, she should adopt them all into a children hospital, I mean, she's RICH |

Well the child did have a father, I saw it on the news and he was pleased to let the child go to a better place |

Posts: 17669 | May 13th, 2007 at 03:32pm Yeah, but the definition of an orphan is one without any parents, but this child had a father.
I just thought it was ridiculous that everyone was saying she adopted an orphan. |

| May 13th, 2007 at 03:55pm Well in fairness we all have money to spare but I bet we've spent it on ourselves, the fact their reaching out for her safe return i think is admiralble.
on the childrne go missing everyday, only 4 cases a year happen in Britain and usually with a happy ending, I think because it seems the police are doing so little that it's lead British media and socialites to help out because our police system can't. |

Posts: 17669 | May 13th, 2007 at 03:58pm Yeah, I mean it's good that they're trying to help, but I just think it could be of a lot more use, rather than giving all that money to one person. It just seems wrong to me. |

| May 13th, 2007 at 04:04pm I don't think that money will ever reach someone personally it's more of a statement, keeps the little girl in the public eye. for that money to go to someone you'd have to hand the police the suspect or know where she is. |

Posts: 17669 | May 13th, 2007 at 04:10pm The kidnappers could always get a friend to hand the girl to the polie, and then they could have the money.
But that's too risky for them getting caught.
I just feel that the money could help more people, not just one little girl. I'm not trying to devalue her life or anything, but that money could do a lot of good for a lot of people. |

| May 13th, 2007 at 04:27pm I know I sort of agree with you.
really the money could have a negative affect with so much media attention the girls can't be trafficked or adopted to a rich family because she'll be spotted so they can't either hand her in or kill her...handing her in could be to much of a risk. |

Posts: 17669 | May 13th, 2007 at 04:30pm Yeah, exactly. I get the feeling I'm repeating myself a lot, but I'm terrible when it comes to putting my point across, I just tend to go round and round in circles.
But yeah, I spose the good thing about the media attention is that everybody knows who she is, but the kidnappers might panic, and do something stupid.
Either way they're going to get found out, so I don't know what the point is in keeping her. They're probably best off leaving her in a really public place where she'll be found easily by police. |

I see your that point, but as for Rowling, I think she is giving to other charities as well..
[As for Madonna, I agree -_-]
of course it's absolutely w00t that people are giving so much money. I just hope they'll find her ): |
