Missing Maddie :(

Three monkeys sat on a coconut tree,

Discussing things as they're said to be;

Said one to the others "Now listen, you two

There's a certain rumour that can't be true

That man descended from our noble race:

The very idea is a big disgrace.

No monkey ever deserted his wife

Staved her babies and ruined her life;

And you've never known a mother-monk

To leave her babies with others to bunk,

Or pass them on from one to another

Till they scarcely know who was their mother;

And another thing you'll never see

A monk building a fence around a coconut tree

And let the coconuts go to waste

Forbidding all other monks to taste;

Why, if I'd put a fence round the tree

Starvation would force you to steal from me;

Here's another thing a monk won't do

Go out at night and get on the stew

Or use a gun or club or knife

To take some other monkey's life.

Yes, man DESCENDED - with all his fuss,

But, brothers, he didn't descent from US!"

or is it Boy Gypsy?

Maybe if u say my name a few more times I'll appear in a magic mirror and make ur 3 wishes come true :P

Corne, Corne, Corne, Corne, Corne Cornellian, you come and go, you come and goooo o o!

Sorry, been meaning to do that for a while. :D

Damn I was gone for a few hours to come back to a high school fight deja vu. When someone bullies u, u don't go a cry to an administrator, or get all pissed off and decide to complain or quit QL. What u do is joke back, sit back, and enjoy the laugh. We're all grown up here and noone is targeting anyone, we're just here to enjoy the conversations and laughs.

Ok back to Maddie. It always seems to happen. That a single story is so emphasized, yet other stories are not even heard of. Like thousands of children in africa and asia who are abused, enslaved, used in prostitution, and even starved to death. I really hope they find Maddie and I hope her parents have learnt the lesson. I also hope this case doesn't only give awareness for parents to be more careful but also an awareness of how abused children are in many places around the world, for those voices go unheard.

The problem with the whole Maddie thing is over exposure. I for one have received a message about this girl every 2nd day since she went missing! I hate to say it but it's starting to drive me bonkers. What's going to happen is that if someone actually does see her they will think they are imagining it because they've seen her picture too many times, or they will be afraid of the spotlight and not do anything about it.

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

respect to all of QL members, there are things that we can joke about it and there are things that we can't even think about joking about it.

This topic is one of the things that we should not and I can't imagine how terrible her parents are feeling now. Let god be with them and with all of the parents who lost their children and still look for them or quit because they are already dead.

I can't imagine the sleepless nights or the tears that those two shed looking for their own kid. Some of you are already a mother of a father and know how hard should this be, if your child was late for sometime outside you will be anxious. If he/she hurts him/herself you would be rushing to the nearest hospital. How about you wake up to find that your children went missing and have no clue what happened?

Some would say that what can we do, she did not get lost here. That might be true,but at least show some sympathy and respect for every parents feeling. I know that we can't change that, but at least we can try to stop seeing such sad stories day after day. For the sake of those children who are lost .. for the sake of my and your children too. We don't have children now, but in the future we might have. Do you want something like that to happen to them? I don't think so .. if you don't know their value now ... you will know about it later when you become a mother or a father.

Azzy, that was really so sad and the problem is .. sometimes the children have no idea about the sacrifices that their parents have made. They don't have an idea that if they do such a thing, it might be the end of one of their parents too. They don't know that when their parents are far away from them that the relation get even stronger .. they think that our parents are forgetting about us their and are enjoying their time. They don't know how miserable our life without them .. thinking of them all the time .. being far away for their own sake and to give them a better future. Hope that you are fine now, she is fine too and that she realizes that what she did was extremely wrong.

Best Regards

Like i said, my daughter eventually came home when she found out that I'm already sick of worrying about her...That's why when all my sponsorship transfer thingy is finally completed, I'll be going home for a brief vacation to see my kids...

My prayers are with Maddie's parents.

Each day when I get my newspaper first thing I do is to read about Maddy. Even my 11 yrs old keeps asking regularly about that unfortunate lil girl. Whenever I read stories about countries which are called as paedophile capitals of the world, I just don't understand what mentality those people are having. Not only this girl, many more children become their prey every day. How can you call them human beings? I even cant call them animals, animals never do such a heinous act.

God bless Maddy.

this is really sad... my prayers to maddie...and for the parents and the rest of the family...

That is so sad, i hope your daughter is ok and safe. Im so glad you have your daughter back with u, u definatley must know what the poor parents of Maddie are going through right now. We should just pray for all the parents in the world who have children or loved ones missing.

Wherever you are, you can never be sure you and your family is safe nowadays.

For a brief period of time, i felt how to lose a child. My daughter ran away from home last month and for one whole week, I have no information where she was. It was the most horrendous, tormenting week of my life...couldn't eat, sleep, and I'm crying my eyes out thinking where was my girl, was she alright, who were with her and different horrible thoughts came to my mind making me sick as well.

As a mother, it was as if you've lost half of your life if you lose your child.

So, I hope Maddie could be found soon...and I hope all parents would learn from this unfortunate event.

i find it sad that so many children get abducted out of their homes in places like Uganda and forced to be soldiers and often harm their parents who haven't left their home to go out for a meal.

i find the global publicity askew and it saddens that whole nations of children aren't worth any media time and space.

the disappearnce of one child is tragic but it doesn't change society when it is done to communities it rips apart the whole fabric of that society and no-one mentions it.

Some of us appreciates your concern. just ignore who ever annoys you. stay calm and you'll be alright! ;-)

Have a nice day! ;-)

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig 2 graves...

Aiyo SamyaUK how to live without you

misunderstandin does happen so just lets leave this thread. i stopped commontin here after i saw my post got deleted which really was nothing at all.forget it.

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

I think like the other said "parent suffered enough about their carelessness! You can feel how guilty they are!

But of course, its a question, why on earth leave your child alone in the hotel?

Yes, i'd been following the news and it's a question how media, make it so big and how some people jumping into the issue and not being helpful instead giving non-sense speculations to both parents and the whole situation.

We all got speculations and doubts about the issue but we should focus with the child not to focus on blaming whoever we think responsible for losing her.

SAMYA, you air what concerns you and it's good, At least you did something to help MADDIE, unlike me I'm just watching and reading about her!

Cheers!

"Like I always said IMHO"

YW.Have a nice and good day too.:-D

Thanks :) x

So everything is allright and peace around.:-D GREATTTTTT!You rescued my weekend.Smile.

For the record I haven't picked on Samaya at all today, I'm telling her to relax and not get so offended. I don't know why she's targeting me??

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

for Bad or the worst. I am SamyaUK's forever.

Christ sake ... the new kids just arrived for today's lesson started getting bullied. Qatari???? Ahmd???? :-)

Have a pleasant day too Gypsy.

I am SamyaUK's forever

Or how about you ignore when we take the piss? Just because you don't have a sense of humor doesn't mean you have to ruin everyone else's fun. Seriously Sweetie, Cheer up, Smile, have a laugh. You'll enjoy QL much more.

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

I made the point i wanted to make.. Novita77 your a great mum if only all mums where like u.. Take care x

Not all have the same sense of humour.So i think it is not bad to respect others feelings.

Anyway have a good and pleasant day.

I am angry with My SamyaUk for wanting to Drown me in the last Dhow trip.

No Gypsy i wont calm down, its not fair. You two always do this to me and its getting beyond funny, if u dont like my posts then dont comment its as simple as that, i know u get pleasure out of taking the piss out of everything i say but theres no need for it.

In this point i agree with novita.Just be cool and you will find your friends here.

You know Samaya contributing in a respectful manner also means having a laugh sometimes too. Cheer up.

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

Sometimes ignoring other worthless post is the best thing to do (at least worked for me). Stick around in this forum longer and you can pick your friend.

I dont get it either, everytime i say somthing on this site SL & Gypsy are always there to make fun of it.. I dont get it, i dont say anything wrong... I wish they would just contribute in a respectful manner like everyone else.

My God Samaya Calm down. He's picking on you because you over react so much.

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

What an intellectual post you wrote here.

IF U HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE SUBJECT THEN PLEASE LEAVE THIS DISCUSSION!!!! GHABBBBY!!!

Why you attack samya like this?Did she sayd something wrong?Or is she just your intime enemy and you enjoy this game?

I am a bit confused.

- post deleted, personal insult will not be tolerated -

you are a shit stirrer. Stop it !

Can you back up your statement?

I agree with you, it scares me the amount of stories i have read of child abduction and the things they do to them, rape them, torture them. They have sick minds... This is the world we are living in now where people target helpless little children :(:(

Moderators are getting active here! it's a miracle! but a good thing to keep on eye on your children as they tend to get out of line! ;-)

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig 2 graves...

Oh yeah novita, we know she is ;)

Anyways I'm out, catch u all later!

gypsy has already grown up not like you SamyaUK

Personally I think the hundreds of children sold into sexual slavery in Asia is more distressing then one girl kidnapped in Europe. I mean, don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for the poor thing, but I hate when cases like this are blown out of proportion and create a state of paranoia.

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

The sad thing Samya is that even if the parents are careful, there will always be perverts and sick people in this world who will find ways to kidnap kids. I hope all these perverts get caught before it's too late.

i am talking about our mate gypsy

I think the parents are lying

Solve the first problem and go to the next.

GROW UP!!!

I think if they do find Maddie which i hope they do, then the parents need to be educated on Child neglect. At least this story has opened up the eyes of all parents around the world and i hope nothing like this will ever happen again.

Who are u talking about Novita ? I'm lost lol

Told you ... you are actually softie inside.

You will never understand, me too. Some people are not in the same wavelength with us. I am sure you would be a fully responsible mums when the time come :-)

I post something like this. Finding SputNik/ Cuteserk if the key to solve the riddle

SL is right. How come only this case got publisized ? What about the children slaves in China that get abducted from their own houses and sold in the market to become slaves for the rest of their lives ?

I think Qatarpoint took Maddie because they were afraid someone might say the word silly in her presence. :P

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

You should report her to Qatar Point. He can get her banned/deleted/moderated before anything serious happens to the poor kiddies.

You can work on it then. I am sure you have alot of stories to bring from your home country.

Mystica I was refering to Sputnik, cause SL was talking about him in the previous post, but his post got deleted. I know Maddie is a girl :-)

They will have to leave that feeling for the rest of their life. Which one do you prefer? Not knowing your daughter dead or alive but there is hope she might be being kept by someone somewhere. Or knowing your daughter dead because of your careless-ness???

How about the publicity for this special case only. How about the other missing children all over the world including child soldiers

I know a mom that leaves her two kids at home alone when she goes out and they're both under 5...that drives me nuts! And I kept telling her how could u, what if something happens and she'd be like naah they'll be alright they're sleeping. I don't know. I don't understand.

It's a girl not a boy!

Sad! but it's true, parents should not leave their children at that age! but no need to call the parents stupid as they are already paying for their neglect. :-(

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig 2 graves...

What is your problem, what did i do?? I didnt delete anyones post! And im sorry if this has been mentioned before, i just posted it for awarness, if u read it alreay then theres no need to read it again geeez!

Why they dont hire one of the hotel staffs for staying with the kids? The most they pay 3 or 4 euro an hour, then they can have their meal in peace knowing their kids not on their own.

sl ... wait until you become a parents yourself ... then you will understand it.

I hope she is okay. The parents are both currently on a European awareness tour with indefinite leave from their jobs as doctors. Their pay is being covered by the public sector in the UK i.e the taxpayer.

They decided to go for a meal and leave their children on there own. I don't care if they went back every 5 minutes or every day. If you leave your kids alone in a hotel room you really shouldn't be allowed to have children in the first place.

My son is 6. Last night he have first sleep over in his friend house. We went for party in Garvey's, and i keep thinking how about if he climbed the stair's bannister and fall, how about if he ran out from the house and got run over who went to fast in the compound, how about if he hurt himself. You know ... typical mum silly worry.

So the letter was a bluff ... there is hope for Madeline still alive somewhere.

3 kids under 4????? What happened if they woke up and found the parents is not there??? What happened if the room on fire??? What happened if one of the choked???

Call me freak over protective mum ... but still ... i can understand leaving 3 young kids on their own in the hotel room in the strange country.

I guess you will only understand my feeling when you are a mum yourself.

Not horrible. Laughable how you blew the subject out of propotion

Thats not fair our posts are gettin deleted on ur thread.

and yea when there is already topic about this lil girl why would u come up with the same. Now Mr. Admin try to delete one of them too.

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

I didn't know about the whole story until now. Man I can't imagine how guilty the parents are feeling right now.

I totally agree with you, they expressed how sorry they were for leaving Maddie in what they thought was a safe hotel resort, but even if someone snatching your child is the last thing on your mind, the fact that they are so young and could have had an accident is enough... The whole letter thing was nasty, someone wrote a letter with a map to show where she was burried but the police didnt find anything there... Its really shocking because a similar story with 2 sisters happend a while ago, they received a map but they founf the childrens bodies there... Really horrible :(

Rock The Casbah ... even the popes met up with Mr and Mrs. Mc Cann. The parents only have theirself to blame for loosing Madeline. This stories should be a wake up call for other parents who been doing the same thing with them.

I still hope that Madeline is safe though.

But why this girl?? Kids go missing everyday, there are a lot of kids her age that have been abducted, they should do this for all of them.

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

I was talking about sputnik not the little girl. Sl's post got deleted too...seriously what's happening here ??

I didn't know they left her alone in the room! I would have stole the kid just to teach the stupid parents a lesson. How can you leave a child under the age of 5 alone in a hotel room???

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

Cornellian, this little girl profile have gone international now. If you notice some expats car in Doha have her photos sticked in the window screen.

As much as i sypmpathize to the parents ... it must be an absolute nightmare for the poor little girl

I agree with Novitas comments.

I am not sure of the numbers but I am sure that there are lots of children going missing every year and I find it strange that this has garnered so much publicity. The UK media has really sunk their teeth into it with a massive reward being posted.

omg i just noticed Gypsy's post got deleted...what happened ?

There are certain things u can joke about but somthing like this i didnt post for people to joke about, it was just for awareness, i knew u wouldnt be able to hold youself, but i dont know if u have children SL but just imagine this was someone close to you and then re think your posts.

read the second line of the topic is madeline A PURE SHE :?

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

I totally agree with novita :-)

Who's deleting the posts???? What's going on, can someone please explain why QL has become a Nazi state all of a sudden?

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

It's a she ? how do u know Darude ? :P

And who's Waldo? another troll? Haven't had the pleasure of meeting him...what a shame.

samya ... did you follow the last news about this little girl. About the letter who said where her body is???

i might get slated for this ... but i do think the parents should not leave 3 kids under 5 on their own while they go out for dinner. Why don't they hire somebody from the hotel to stay with the kids so they can have dinner in peace?

i wonder how many parents out there did this (going out and left the kids without any adult with them) and get away with this?

i probably paranoid ... i only have 1 son ... and wherever we goes ... how safe the place we think it is ... now way whatsoever we will ever leave our son on his own in the hotel room.

my 2 riyal worths.
