At this point if she is still alive which I doubt it really doesn't matter as long as they get her back. Unfortunately nothing can be undone the McCain's will have to live forever with the pain that they have caused Maddie. Dead or Alive whether they killed her or were negligent if they truly don't know where she is I'm sure they just want her back abused or not. I think everyone would have a huge problem if they said we want her back but only if she hasn't been abused. Everyone here knows the reality of her being found alive and if she's found alive the reality of her not having been abused during her captivity is well let's just say have a better chance leaping into outer-space in a single bound. I find nothing sinister about that quote it sounds quite normal to me. Just a mom who wants her child back no matter what. I don't know what the McCain's involvement in Maddie's disappearance was but I think the dad knows more than the mom. I wonder if dear old dad who can't spell his child's name correctly, or hire someone to spell it correctly for him, may have arranged the whole thing due to some finical problems and set up the "fund" as a means of payment for Maddie. Just my thought sometime the people who appear the best off are really the worst. I have also wondered if this could be an extreme case of munchausen by proxy. Just a thought
This is actually a conspiracy theory going around the internet right now. I don't have the link, but many people believe that the McCanns might even be in collusion with Robert Murat and when publicity for Madeleine quiets down (and funds stop pouring into her fund), suddenly she'll reappear. They would be hailed as some kind of heroes and invited to speak everywhere.
petra, I hope the McCanns do show some generosity. It would be very interesting to see if they truly intend to put their money where their mouths are, in terms of wanting to globally support missing/abducted children.
