I of course can only try to imagine the inner feelings of any parent who have no idea where their child is, be it alive or sadly found to be deceased. I so hope Madeleine is found alive. 

As the Home Office have granted and given this money, then for sure it is to be used for the purpose. 

Personally had I taken children anywhere on holiday, then no way on this earth would I go anywhere without them. When they are tucked up in bed I would be there then as I would have been at home. I reckon that thought though of when they left their 3 children that evening is hounding them to this very day.
