Let me give my 2-cents worth to say I really oppose your suggestion.

Madeleine McCann is only one of tens of thousands of kids that go missing each
year. Her case is only special because her family can afford to pay for media
hype. Although I can sympathize with her family, the likelihood that I will see
their lost child running around in Grand Chute, Wisconsin is astronomical. There
are many local issues that do deserve my attention, and even one second to click
on the "Mark as read" button for Madeleine is a waste of my time, caused by some
"do-gooder" who wants to further sensationalize the tragic story.

I'd hesitate to see the floodgates open if any/all crime victims start to post to
ALL binary (or text) groups looking for their kidnapped children, stolen artwork,
or deadbeat daddies. This particular crime was in Portugal. Let the
Portugal/European media and authorities handle it. No need to waste the time of
millions of other people around the world.

Let Portugal develop their own "Amber Alert" and look for the child that way.


A waste of your time? My 2c states " You can never do enough to help any child no
matter how rich their family is or how poor and I don't care what floodgates get
opened" My time is worth less than any child.

Yeah, I'm being very selfish. I'll get off my lazy ass, and start going door to
door here, and I won't give up until I find her.

C'mon, Brian. This is one of countless lost children around the world, and nowhere
near where I am. In this particular case, for Madeleine McCann, there is nothing I
can do. Now if you can provide me with pictures of the lost children in my area,
that would be different. For a child lost in Portugal, let the locals there look for
her.
