Let's hope little Maddie is found in the Algarve. There are so many godawful things going on in the world these days and 24 hour news channels tend to leave you a little blase, but this one I have found particularly upsetting.
If her abductor is caught, what will realistically happen to him ? Short term 'indoors' then a transfer to some bloody clinic with a counsellor and a bag full of medication ?
Parents everywhere must tremble when they see her Mum and Dad pleading for her safe return, if it was one of mine I'd have his f*^*in' legs.
