[size=42]Madeleine McCann's Mother Kate McCann Reveals 'Anguish' Of Life With Missing Child[/size]
Madeleine McCann’s mother Kate has spoken of the “anguish” of life with a missing child ahead of International Missing Children’s Day.
McCann, 50, revealed she often feels isolated and still hopes that one day she will find find an answer that leads to Madeleine, who disappeared aged three on a family holiday in Portugal in May 2007.
The former GP said she has backed a Twitter campaign to raise awareness of all missing children. She said: “Having a missing child, you live in anguish and hope that one day you’ll find the answer that leads you to them.
“It feels isolating, and for families like mine with a missing child, knowing that people care and want to help is so important.
“The ‘Big Tweet for Missing Children’ creates a simple way, on an important day, to galvanise as many people as possible to help remember, and hopefully find, children who are missing.
“It is heartening to see social media being used for good and I encourage everyone to help. One tweet could find the answer.”
Maddie would now be 15-years-old.
The Big Tweet campaign is being led by charity Missing People, whose choir made the final of Britain’s Got Talent last year. Avid tweeters and big names are due to join a 24-hour tweetathon on Friday, International Missing Children’s Day.
Celebrities from the worlds of film, music, television and sport are due to take to the social network to show their support.
Missing People will tweet an appeal for a missing child every 30 minutes over 12 hours.
The charity aims to bring 180,000 missing children and adults back home each year.

Jo Youle, CEO of Missing People said: “A staggering 24 children go missing every hour, and that’s in the UK alone. On International Missing Children’s Day on 25 May, and in the year that Missing People marks its 25th anniversary, we implore the public to get behind the Big Tweet to really make this year count.”
Twitter said it was a “privilege” to host the campaign.
Dara Nasr, Managing Director at Twitter, said: “It’s heart-warming to watch communities support each other by sharing appeals for missing people, which is something we see regularly on Twitter. It’s a real privilege to host the Big Tweet and to offer our platform as a way of getting the faces of these vulnerable children into the public eye.”
The Big Tweet 2018 is also being supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, who have raised a combined total of over £5million for the charity since 2009.
Missing People runs a free, confidential and 24hr helpline, 116 000, which is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. The helpline provides practical and emotional support to missing people and their families, and can also take anonymous sightings and information about missing people. People can also email 116000@missingpeople.org.uk – free, confidential, 24/7.

BTW does anyone actually believe any statistics Missing People trots out at every one of these appeals. I don't. Is it ever clear where they're derived from?
For example 24 children an hour in the UK, that's 576 per day or 210,000 per annum. That's the equivalent of a town the size of Luton going missing each year - or the whole of Glasgow Liverpool Bristol Sheffield and Manchester missing since Madeleine disappeared 11 years ago. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Kate really ‘misses’ Maddie and one day, she may find her.
Yes kate.
So what are you doing, now Kate, to ‘find’ her? Sell some more wristbands, employ more lawyers to maintain super injunctions, Manage social media with a singular purpose of maintaining the abduction story. And all In England, where the policemen are all agreeably nice.
But definitely not go to Portugal, where she was last seen by her carer Kate and engage with the local police as to how she can help their enquiries.

Realistically, even if Madeleine was found alive and well, the chances of her being returned to the care of the parents hovers around zero.
She will be a teenager, well able and willing to make her own choices. If she had but an inclin of her history, I doubt very much she would wish to be returned to Gerry and Kate McCann - if she even remembers them, which is doubtful.
It's all a load of media hype.

As usual it's all about Kate and her " anguish "
Not a word about Madeleine and the anguish she may be going through .
Not a word to her " missing " daughter .
Me , me and me again from the ambassador .
She wonders why people don't believe a word they say , it's not too difficult is it when they don't behave like parents of a missing " abducted " child .
Poor Madeleine .

From the article - "one tweet could find the answer"
Yeah or one letter from MMRG to the PJ might also find the answer. Wouldn't that be great?

I think the figure includes all those who are found within a short space of time.
