Madeleine McCann & Ben Needham - Worlds Apart

[theblackmafia71]

The only difference between the McCanns and the Needhams is the life of a working class child is less than of a Middle Class child ...

and that is fact!

[khalidshafishaikh]

why not to use a "lie detector test" on Kate and Gerry ?!! If found liers then they should be jailed in Portogual then (life time hoiliday) ;)

[williamernestsmith]

Maddie's parents were doctors who were on holiday. Many parents place children in creches. But my instinct tells me it was an employee of the resort, it has to be. It was the fault of the Police as in wasting time pursuing Maddie's parents they ought to have been searching for Maddie. Australia believed that Linda killed her baby but it was proven three years after Linda's release from jail that a dingo did kill Azaria. We can't point a finger, at anyone.

[cabiai]

When Ben's mother is speaking, I see the heart-felt pain of a mother whose child is missing, When Kate McCann is talking, I see lies and deceit.

[Imogen1885]

It is far more likely that Ben wandered off and got into an accident that that he was kidnapped.

[TheAnn2shoes]

It is not the McCann's fault that Kerry Needham has not been helped more (which she most definitley should have been). What would YOU do if your child were missing? Wouldn't you use all the resources possible to find him/her? Stop doing hatchet jobs on the McCanns. It's the totally inept, corrupt Portuguese authorities who should be pilloried. This kind of thing does not help anybody.

[Imogen1885]

I believe Ben's story is the dame as Madeleines. Except in Ben's case I do not think his mum knows what happened to him. But Kate McCann knows exactly what happened to Maddie.

[kefalosholiday]

Everyone should be doing everything possible to find both children. This video is not very helpful to either cause. It shifts the focus away from where it should be directed. This video has no place in any credible search attempt.

[CHANNELOMD]

@kefalosholiday sorry what are YOU doing. As Madeline wasnt abducted nothing here will help anyway

[MariannaZF]

@CHANNELOMD

Nope I guess they would not.

[mrbluesky1uk]

This video is totally disgusting. Why on earth give all the negative side to the missing children. Ben and Maddie are missing and all efforts should be focused on finding those kids. Not making disturbing videos such as this. You must be an evil person to be so negative and I would search you heart and soul. How would you feel if it was your kid and people were making disgusting accusations...because its the first thing lowlifes do.

[elmobuffy]

The documentary the McCanns don't want you to see

Watch the documentary on Youtube:

Senhor Goncalo Amaral - The Truth of the Lie - with English subtitles (PART 1 of 6)

[williamernestsmith]

@elmobuffy This guy went to prison so can't be trust. Read Kate's book and you will know the truth on these lies and tales. The sorry and simple fact is that Madeliene was abducted and the country where this lovely child was taken was filled with pedophiles sadly the person who abducted Madeleine, is probably watching these stories on youtube.

[mafaldacrumbwitty]

The title of this video states that Madeleine and Ben are worlds apart. Here comes the obvious comment. If they are worlds apart, why bother making the video?

[CHRISvsCMOL]

who eva took maddie or ben LET them come home imagen what they are feeling like.

[oscaridge]

I think despite what views everyone has on either side the one thing we ALL must remember is that there are two innocent children missing here!! They are the ones that matter!! I pray for Ben and Madeleines safe return!!!

[sh311y1980]

when it shows in writing about them being neglectful and using her as a publicity stunt makes my blood boil thinking you can think like that i have a 3 yr old daughter and heaven forbid if she went missing like maddie, i would be disgusted if ppl like you think its a publicity stunt!! this video should be taken off! its disturbing!

[flippingflops]

missing ? oh please ,dont insult our intelligence

[elmobuffy]

Why are they spending so much time trying to change people's opinions of them instead of concentrating on looking after their children or trying to do something to get Maddie back - like stop antagonising the Portugese police and help them by staging the recreation. I'm not surprised people are agnry at them but then they shouldn't spend so much time and money on a spokesman who has long alienated normal people. This is too much too late. My sympathies are with their children, all of them.

[MariannaZF]

Sorry elmobuffy,

Just realised, someone had marked your comment as spam again.

Aren't you people ashamed of yourselves?

Is this the only way to show your support for the McCann's?

It was them who neglected all three of their infant children.

It is them who still refuse to assist the police to find Madeleine.

You don't have the guts to show your face, do you?

Just SPAM and GO... like the McCann's did.

[elmobuffy]

Excuse after sorry excuse from these two. Got a new documentary coming out and are worried about 10 year sentence for neglect. Expect plenty of spin from them in the next few weeks

[MariannaZF]

They will end up in prison despite their stupid spin.

They are frightened little cowards and won't go to Portugal for Madeleine's one year.

Suzan Healy said that she would shake her daughter and the tapas 7.

She is a bit too late, for anything I would think.

Mitchell says they will "defend" any charge of neglect.

What is there to defend?

He does not realise how laughable he sounds.

[flippingflops]

mitchell is a joke ,but as much as i wish i could say they will go to jail for neglect i dont think they will the "TEFLON TWO" will walk free

[MariannaZF]

flippingflops please read this.

Police officer from Leicestershire:

"We still hope that the parents of Madeleine decide to take part. Logically, they should be the first to be interested."

[MariannaZF]

If they do not show up, there can be arrest warrants issued and executed via EuroPol.

I guess they wouldn't have hired wiz attorney Michael Caplan QC, if they were willing to go back to Pordugal.

[ProfessorCrumpet]

thelondonscene...you are a fake, so looking for DNA weeks after a case is a waste of time ehh, sniff sniff sniff i smell BULLSHIT

[flippingflops]

all paid for by innocent children

[TheLondonScene]

The Portuguese police have acted randomly. I'm a doctor and human geneticist, looking for DNA weeks after Madeleine disappeared and in the family car is non-sense. They should have done much more much earlier on.

I'll surely keep an eye on Ben's website, while this is my last post here, I'm not interested in debating. Just wanted to leave an advice, these videos alienate people, I hope they won't affect the search for Ben that should remain the focus of any campaign.

[MariannaZF]

TheLondonScene, You should have advised your friends not to leave their kids alone in the first place.

Prevention is better than cure, or didn't you know that?

Keep reading Ben's site, you may learn something about real abductions.

[146insane]

It is the British police who did the DNA testing, not the Portuguese.

I suggest you take your arguments to them and ask them to hurry it up and send the results to the PJ.

To this day Aptril 26, the Home Office has not fulfilled part of the rogatory letter.

Shame on you Britain.

[TheLondonScene]

I look at websites of missing children, with age progressions etc, in case one day I might be able to help.

The McCanns are one family going through this tragedy. They surely feel guilty enough about leaving the children alone, but Ben's case shows these tragedies can happen anyway. A man in Italy has just been released after 2 years in jail accused of murdering his 2 sons. Their bodies have now been found in a well where the 2 kids used to play. I'd be careful before accusing anyone.

[MariannaZF]

The LondonScene. I am not concerned if the McCann's feel guilty and if they do, they have a funny way of not showing it.

They have never looked for Madeleine.

They have employed Metodo3, one of their agents was arrested for cocaine possession.

They have made Madeleine into a trademark.

Recently it was Mark Warner's fault who did not supply them with baby-listening devices.

As a doctor you should know, infants are never to be left alone.

Three infants alone, night after night?

Get real.

[TheLondonScene]

I was checking Missing People website for news especially about missing children, came across this video and it made me feel terrible. I see the desperation, frustration and anger of Ben's family, but cruelly attacking the McCanns won't help bringing Ben back. The McCanns are trying to find Madeleine and have the right to do so. Are they responsible? Ben's story proves it doesn't matter. Removing this video would be the right tribute to all missing children and the ordeal of ALL families

[MariannaZF]

Hey TheLondo9nScene, Are you on a mission?

The McCann's left three infants alone night after night. That is cruelty.

Do you know the meaning of the word INFANT?

The ordeal is Madeleine's not their parents.

Instead of cooperating with the police, they are jetsetting as usual.

Madeleine McCann is a trademark.

Ben Needham will never become one. He is a human being and as such, Ben is respected by his family.

[elmobuffy]

I heard the McCanns say from Brussels, the "onus is on the authorities to publicise details of missing children" Should not the onus be on parents not to leave their precious children alone in a foreign country while they eat?

[MariannaZF]

Yes, absolutely.

crispiva1 said that there should be a "Maddie alert for missing parents".

[TheLondonScene]

I do understand anger that comes from pain and devastation. Though, if parents leaving a child sleeping alone while having dinner can't be justified, how do you justify the cruelty of such a comment? The McCanns are desperate parents looking for their daughter. Compassion and support are the only things they deserve, surely not cruel and sarcastic comments. Please, rethink your position, this comment is shameful

[MariannaZF]

TheLondonScene, Cruelty is leaving three infants alone and then blame it on everything else and everyone else.

You are the shameful one, supporting two criminal suspects who refuse to cooperate with the authorities.

[flippingflops]

How they have the bare faced nerve to go around preaching about childrens safety is laughable ,who on earth are they to pass comment ?

[rangers499]

This is the saddest video i have seen, because it is so warped in talking about exploitation, when it does exactly that. For God's sake, the parents of madeleine have enough to cope with without this crap. For dear ben's memory to be equated with this is just sick

[MariannaZF]

Yes Madeleine's parents are so "fragile", they only go around the world but they cannot go to Portugal for a reconstruction.

[flippingflops]

as fragile as a block of ice

[flippingflops]

shannon matthews found alaive !!!!

[MariannaZF]

Fantastic news. Great police work.

[flippingflops]

on sky news ,,,scarleet keelings mum being probed for negligence for leaving her 15 year old daughter who later sadly was raped and murdered ,,,,,ONE RULE FOR ONE AGAIN !!!!! whilst i do not and never will condone negligence of any type ,this 15 year old was more in control of her life than a 3 year old and 2 year old twins ,,,,STILL mc cann ltd are seen as saints !!!!

[MariannaZF]

Yes I have read about the case.

15 year olds are more in control of their life but unfortunately sometimes cannot be controlled.

Some of them do not listen to anyone.

What a tragic death.

[flippingflops]

terrible ,i have a teenage daughter no way i would have done what this mum did ,but IMO ,not as bad as the mc canns ltd did

[MariannaZF]

India is not the safest country on earth.

I don't think I would have gone on a long holiday without having booked everything before my departure. Ms MacKeown was very brave taking photos of her child.

I am wondering what any 15 year old does at 4:00 at the beach though.

This "freedom" thing has gone a bit too far I am afraid.

[flippingflops]

yes i agree ,she ought to be ashamed of herself

[MariannaZF]

Who should be ashamed of herself?

Are you talking about the mother?

Bear in mind that some 15 year olds cannot be "controlled".

[flippingflops]

yes the mother for leaving her in the first place

[MariannaZF]

I see, well as I have mentioned, it is not easy to control the 15 year olds these days.

[flippingflops]

i know i have one myself !! ( not easy ) BUT i am the parent...she is the child ,and i would NEVER put her in any danger ,

[MariannaZF]

You are right, its not easy.

Parents have to put their foot down and learn to say no. It is a danderous world.

[TellUsWhatYouKnow]

These media whores make me SICK! Using the tragedy of little Mari Luz to gain publicity and look good in the eyes of the public! I didn't think these scumbags could get any lower!

McTwat's, Leaving No Stomach Un-churned!

[flippingflops]

well said ,,thats another few quid in the pot of mc cann ltd ,another few brownie points for these people of god ,,,i could throw up

[MariannaZF]

What a horrible death for a little child.

I mean there are no words to describe this, yet the McCanns are taking advantage of Mari Luz's death.

[flippingflops]

exactly !!! "they have sent thier prayers" for gods sake who do they think they are ? mother bloody theresa and the pope ? they have twisted this poor childs death for thier own ends ,how sick are they ?

[MariannaZF]

They are not "sick".

Desperate is the word.

The questioning of their friends and others begins very soon and they are scared.

[flippingflops]

i hope you are right ,why it has been allowed to drag on this long is beyond belief

[MariannaZF]

It has been allowed because of Brown.

I have heard him and McCann are cousins.

I don't know how true or false it is, but Brown should break away and do the right thing for the little girl.

[flippingflops]

if and when they get arrested he should resign

[MariannaZF]

I agree he should resign.

While there is no action whatsoever against the criminally negligent McCann's, he allows the social services to remove other children from their families for much less and he allows their adoption in secret courts.

He is a double faced, no good PM.

[flippingflops]

dead right ,,but these children removed are maybe not doctors children ,who live in a big house ,,double standards

[flippingflops]

i have just seen on the news that they have found the body of the little girl missing in spain,BUTthe headline about this poor child is "THE MC CANNS OFFER PRAYERS FOR HER"??????? WTF IS THIS ALL ABOUT ?OVER 200 MILES from where maddie (went missing ha ha )WHY are the mc canns ltd using a dead child to get publicity ? do they think they are the popes second hand men now ? holy joes ?? PATHETIC !!!i odnt know how they sleep at night

[MariannaZF]

Thay have found the body of Mari Luz.

It's the little girl from Spain.

Such a tragic end to her disappearance.

Her parents were devastated.

The McCann's will stop at nothing.

They will sue the newspapers for having a different view than theirs.

It is all about money, nothing else.

[cheesypuff31]

Perhaps times have changed since Ben went missing - surely people should be glad wee Madeleine has received so much publicity, don't begrudge it - be glad there is more proactivity for missing Kids. Is there any evidence the McCann's are spending the fund on themselves, I haven't seen any. My thoughts are with the families of all missing children, all of them deserve the publicity Madeleine has received.

[ThePopeXVI]

You've seen no evidence of them using the money on themselves?

The McCann's have already admitted to using money from the fund to pay their morgage.

Plus, it clearly says on their site that the fund will also be used "To provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine's family".

There's all the evidence you need.

[MariannaZF]

No Sir, no-one knows what they are doing with the money. They do not have to comply with any requests for openess. It is a private company. They can do anything they like. Ever since the new look but even before that, they do not show how much they make out of donations. Read the details regulating these Limited companies at companieshouse gov. uk.

[MariannaZF]

Very well said. Please consult with Shannon Matthews mother and get back to me with the details. I will be glad to hear from you. Thank you.

[flippingflops]

yes there is proof ,they have been paying the mortgage of their big house out of it ,please check the fund details before posting ,it clearly states the money can be used to support the mc canns ,,not a bad job if you can get it eh ? neglect your children ,earn mega bucks ,then pay your mortgage out of little childrens pocket money donated to find the same missing child they neglected ..at the VERY least

[MariannaZF]

They do not have to comply with anything the public is asking. It is the law. They can do as they please. It is aprivate company.

[flippingflops]

with friends and family as board members ,,makes me SICK

[MariannaZF]

Well when you have a company like this one, its quite normal. I got a new video out and remembered the HTFM team and have disabled the ratings.

[boysadear]

shame on all of you, the mc canns should never have left the children on their own - i agree, but have a little compassion for other human beings. Maruanna you say the needhams are not desperate to find their son, need i say more.

[MariannaZF]

"you say the needhams are not desperate to find their son"

Where do I say that? Are you blind or stupid?

Watch what you say to me, cause I will find you and I will sue you.

Try not to play games with me.

[MariannaZF]

And another thing.

The Needhams have not made millions out of Ben.

They did not turn their child into a Trademarked Ltd private company.

As a matter of fact, no other parent has.

Just the McCanns.

Go ahead, feel sorry for them and their millions.

[flippingflops]

and within a couple of days of her "going missing" keerrrccchhhiiinng  !!!!

[BenNeedhamAbduction]

Nobody has said what you are suggesting. We are always worried about Ben, never for ourselves. There has never been a day, we have not thought of Ben. Please refrain from telling lies to people.

[DAJAZDJ1]

@BenNeedhamAbduction i remember this story yrs ago and i hope eventually both him and maddie mcann are found safe and well

[barten39]

both families are desperate (the McCann's probably for a completly diffent reason).... and do whatever they think is necessary....

so maybe it lloks strange..... but is is'nt

[MariannaZF]

You are right the McCanns are desperate to save themselves, and it may get worse. The Needhams are not desperate and have never been. They have always been worried about Ben, not themselves. Nothing is strange really.

[sunsuhine]

clever video unfair difference in both cases. Why did one case receive government support and not the other, i remember bens situation my thoughts with Kerry needham and justice for Madeleine

[MariannaZF]

Thank you so much. I hope justice is done to both cases.

[flippingflops]

i saw kerry needham last year doing a car boot ,,,i bet mc cann ltd never have to do one for a bit of extra cash

[BenNeedhamAbduction]

Thank you, it has not been easy for us. Yet, it is unthinkable for us to create a private company for Ben, with other people's money.

[flippingflops]

do you know why ? you have PRIDE ,something sadly lacking in the mc canns !! hold your heads up high

[BenNeedhamAbduction]

We thank you.

[flippingflops]

no one has ever forgotten ben ,nor ever will

[MariannaZF]

I thank you too, on behalf of the Needham family.

[flippingflops]

its yorkshire blood !!! keep smiling xxxxxxxxxx

[MariannaZF]

Tha Needhams are very good people. Each and every one of them.

[flippingflops]

massive difference in these 2 cases ,all bens mum wanted was her son home ,she didnt turn her loss into a business and she didnt cash in as this horrid pair have done ,her son was abducted ,maddie didnt

[MariannaZF]

Exactly massive differences. This is the reason I treat Ben as an abduction and Maddie as a disappearance. Ben's mum has always behaved with dignity.

[flippingflops]

yes she has ,unlike mc cann ltd ,,,,,,,i hope the truth comes out about what REALLY happened to maddie but i doubt it ,the are laughing all the way to the bank ,it turns my stomach ,they should be behind bars

[flippingflops]

i have NEVER from the first time i saw kate mc canns cold,hard face on tv ,classed this as a "disappearence"but shes still walking free and still cashing in on little kids spending money

[BenNeedhamAbduction]

Thank you.

[crackersmat]

whats a tween?

[MariannaZF]

Sorry, spelling error, it should have been "twins". Stupid me.

[66660006666]

TO ALL THE FOOLS DEFENDING THESE TWO, THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE CRUEL ARE THE MCCANN'S FOR LEAVING THEIR 3 CHILDREN ALONE NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.

STOP EXCUSING CHILD NEGLECT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Pro Mccann

Excusing Child Neglect Since May 2007.

[boysadear]

How you could be so cruel, I'll never understand. Maddies parents only want to keep their daughters image in the public eye, what if they just sat back and did nothing in the search for madeleine would you then praise them. Please really try to understand their grief, they will do anything to get their daughter back even if it means scum of earth like you want to spread a hate campaign about them. They know they made a mistake which they'll have to live with for the rest of their lives.

[MariannaZF]

I am not the cruel one dear. The McCanns are. They refuse to answer the police questions. Their grief? What about the child's grief and suffering? They negleted their duties to all their children. Who on earth leaves three small children alone? They have to live with it? Madeleine could be dead because of their neglect. You, have forgotten the victim here, which is Madeleine. Theirs was a fatal mistake and the police and social services are doing absolutely nothing about it. How fair is that?

[SaraBeara94]

i cant stand it. why would you leave a 3 yr old and twins that are even younger than that. they should have known it was comming. it just makes me sooooo freakin mad.

[MariannaZF]

What were they thinking?

[SaraBeara94]

exactlly! you know what i will tell you what they were thinking. NOTHING they wernt thinking any thing. If they would have tought Madeleine wouldnt be missing. It's there own fault

[ben6842]

sad

[MariannaZF]

Very much so.

[MariannaZF]

Thank you xklamation.

You know, the McCanns must be exposed for what they are. They have fooled the whole world, but no more.

[xklamation]

brilliant Marianna. thank you for making this video.
