I can't comment about the action of the police on that occasion, because they work in a different way to ours, but I know from experience that they can be a bit "slow" anyway when dealing with tourists' problems. I sincerely hope that one day, Maddie'll be found safe and well, but I have my doubts. The McCanns, in my opinion, showed a terrible lack of good parenting during that holiday, and although the post wasn't concerned with this aspect of the sorry tale, the fact remains that had they been there with their children - as they should've been - none of this might've happened.
