This is my first post and I've been following the comments for a few days, so hi everyone and thanks for interesting and insightful reading. I really desperately hope she is found safe and well. The whole case and how it has been reported and conducted doesn't sit well with me.
I still don't like the family dynamics as portrayed in the media (said that because I can never know, I'm not in the family, I'm just watching through a media lens). Apart from the other family, I was particularly uncomfortable with dad. I felt the video of her eating hot curry was uncomfortable, then the appeals, then the strange facebook comments. The dad as a personality (completely my instant gut feeling, doesn't of course mean he has in any way harmed his child), I feel he is not likeable, perhaps that he can be power seeking, controlling, manipulative. I felt a similar way about Stuart Hazell (Tia Sharp) and Mick Philpotts personalities, but I never felt it when I watched Paul Jones (April Jones) for example. It makes me wonder how much we are steered by the media who know very little themselves and whether they plump for strangest acting closest male to the "victim". And how much the police use the media in another realm of cleverness that goes above my head, like magicians, distraction. Anyway, I hope she is found safe.
