GERRY AND Kate McCann do not accept the accusations of neglecting their children that have come out in the British press early this week.
The UK national papers wrote that the couple might face prosecution for child neglect, due to the circumstances in which Madeleine disappeared from a holiday resort in Praia da Luz on May 3.
During his time in the US, Gerry had meetings with a senior member of First Lady Laura Bush’s staff as well as senators and congressmen in Washington DC. Gerry also discussed efforts to tackle child abduction with US Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales.
The father of Madeleine McCann was “very impressed” by the work done at NCMEC, which co-ordinates information on all missing children in the country. The centre helped the implementation of the AMBER system, the early warning missing child alert operating throughout the US.
The News Media just reports anything you tell them. It seems there are no journalists left in this country who ask questions. The NCMEC did not implement the Amber Alert. It started in Texas and was intended to be used ONLY for serious child abduction cases so that people would pay attention and help.
The NCMEC took it over and now they issue alerts every day for parental abductions when they know the child is not in danger. But it does accomplish what the NCMEC wants to accomplish. That is to get their name out there every day to pretend they are doing something about missing children. The more alerts they send out, the more often they are in the news.
