On average, a child goes missing in the UK every five minutes - that is nearly 15,000 disappearances SINCE Madeleine vanished. Today's sad anniversary of Madelines will be marked by the release of yellow and green balloons in 50 countries to help maintain the profile of the Mc canns search. So whilst we reflect on their loss & our fortune take a minute to search the following website please........www*missingkids*co*uk JUST INCASE we could find at least ONE of them............. THANKYOU & Much happiness to you all -x-

Yes your so right, there are lots of others missing god knows what thier parents are going through although i have to admit i think it's unfair that some kids get more publicity than others.

Morning Irishgirl I don't ever want to know how it feels to loose a child , my heart skips a beat when I think I've lost them in a shop and they are aged 10 & 15......... looking at the website there are so many teenagers missing....... those poor parents!! I just hope that the majority are safe & well. Much happiness Debi

Deb, i can't even bring myself to having a look on that site too upsetting for me, even the thought of it is bringing tears to my eyes i will look but not today. I know that feeling my son ran away for 2 day's my brother came to see me he said you look like you need a hospital bed. I will never ever forget it, it nearly killed me.

Thanks for this post. Ive been on that site before, it really gets to me. I'll never forget, there were a couple of cases in America that are so sad. One little boy was found dumped (decomposed) in a nappy on a beach, he was thought to be about 2. They didnt know who he was! And a blonde haired lad aged approx 9 or 10 was found dead off a highway, but no missing boys that matched him were reported missing. Its sooo sad.
