I'm lost for words with the latest shenanigans over on the Official Find Madeleine group on Facebook.
On a link to a recommended blog, which painted children as inconveniences and attempted to excuse neglect, one woman dared to disagree with the content!
Good for you Janet Canepa. I genuinely believe you speak for the majority of us when we say that we would never leave our children on their own. Shame you were subject to the vilest rants and abuse simply for putting forward your experienced thoughts, including this one which some have construed as a veiled threat...
What was most surprising was the response from the Official Find Madeleine Campaign group themselves...
Come on... is that really the way to speak to a supporter of your group simply because she disagreed with the author of a blog and gave her own experience of parenting? Is it acceptable to publicly compare her comments to the irritation of PILES?! It's rude and downright appalling. The Official comment was later removed, along with Janet's - did someone within the group have similar thoughts or was the post just another moment of madness when someone's guard was down.
Just because they now have the wrong kind of piles...
...really doesn't give them or their supporters the right to bully and descend on a person simply because she has a different view on parenting. These manic, vocal 'supporters' come across as nothing but self righteous, narcissistic morons and are unfortunately tarring all genuine people who quietly lend support and want Madeleine found. And I'm sure they're out there somewhere, despite their silence.
Questions really have to be asked about this group where propaganda spouted by McCann supporters is allowed to be posted without question, yet anything which does not toe the party line is removed. I agree that certain posts have to be deleted, but certain people are not permitted to post and if they do, their posts are removed. Like Janet's. It appears that you must agree that it is perfectly fine to go out and leave your children to care for themselves while you eat elsewhere. And that everyone does it.

Misinformation and its misinformed comments are allowed to be spread and shared by themselves, their followers and anyone else who has the misfortune to stumble across this page. Such as individuals being jailed for torture. It is a free public group, not costing the McCanns a penny to run, unless a waged muppet is in charge of vetting comments. It seems to have taken over from the Official Find Madeleine website, which is a shame because so much effort went into running the site. Around £37,000 per annum worth. Save a penny, save a pound. Hopefully the site costs will be greatly reduced on the yearly accounts?
In hindsight... really - if only they'd eaten here. Maybe then it would have been like 'dining in your back garden'. Give me the chimps' tea party any day.

Yes, people can THINK what they like, but not post these very hurtful thoughts for others to see...
That says it all really. I wonder how many supporters are afraid to post what they really think? And I have to ask just what hypocritical and smallminded planet Mrs Holmes is on. Wherever, it obviously lacks any media source if her eyes have only just been opened and claims that this case has any bearing on the world enlightenment of child abuse, slavery and paedophiles.. What a vile, hurtful insult to the many victims of child abuse over the years.
