I'm sure most Fathers would be able to raise £100k if you thought the life of one of your kids was at risk.

It's a sad time when you can be suspicious of a parent with a kidnapping.

I think you will find the Police look this close to home first as well...

I don't doubt that for one minute, that last comment wasn't aimed at any poster, just a remark about the times we live in that you could even consider that a parent is capable of this kind of thing.

I think the whole situation is more than a little suspect - I dont think it will be long before at least one memeber of the family is arrested

Times we live in?

People have been abusing their kids and exploiting them since time began. Media has just improved exponentially in the last 20 years (internet, global news crews) so people are more aware of it happening, that's all.

It is the cynic in us (mostly justified) that questions the family members in a situation like this. I did for a moment suspect foul play by the parents in the Sarah Payne case, and when the case unfolded I was mortified as I was so far wide of the mark. Then you have the case of that girl up North kidnapped, as it turns out,by her uncle(?), and the mother was in on it.

Glad to see the little boy is back with his family.

some of these comments are quite dissapointing.. a kid was kidnapped in what appears to be a genuine case and yet we have a mothers meeting going on on scooby net with sherlock holmes invited to find out and decide who officially done it lol..

guys you dont have the case file in front of you so you dont have the facts so your not in any form of a possition to be deciding whether its legit or not.. until proven guilty they are innocent which i believe the family is so stop the dectective work lads and lets all stick to the scoobs cos thats something we do actually know about instead of playing cluedo.

yes you can have your personal thoughts on the matter just like i believe the queen is a benefit grabbing ***** but in a case which involves a small child its always a bit sensitive. just my oppinion.

Leave the Queen out of it.

Leslie

I agree with the main part of your post completely.

Wonder why you had to spoil it with the last paragraph though. Whatever you think of the Queen, calling her a ***** is a disgusting thing to say!

Sad isn't it that some people have no national pride

r32

Les it was out of order and totally irelevant.

well is still sad that a married couple are still kidnapped off their boat in the the Indin Ocean and their family can't get the ransom together to get them released. Or have we all forgot about them?

DCI Gene Hunt

Deliberate tactic -

There's a news blackout on them, the Gov are trying to make it look like nobodies interested in the hope they'll just release them.

And lets not forget Maddy

Everyone is speculating and commenting, which is our right to do so. No one has said they are guilty of anything. It has all made for a very interesting thread.

Oh and I find your comments about the Queen to be highly offensive and believe me, it takes a lot to offend me

The Zohan

agreed!

DYK

Can i be Sherlock,Lee can be one of the Mother's..can see where this is going,Mother's meeting with Sherlock Homes

Clarebabes

I think since the Shannon Matthews case, the public have a bit of a right to be suspicious.

I don't think there's anything too dodgy going on here now, not since some unrelated people have been arrested.

Is it true about the couple who were kidnapped by the pirates? I think the pirates may be choosing their next captives from mainland Pakistan now!

The amount of time you spend sitting on the fence, you must have an @rse full of splinters by now Leslie!

Or perhaps he prefers to take a balanced and uncontroversial stance. He has been around long enough to know what he thinks (sorry Les not calling you old).

I find your post to be very contradictory (and offensive)... read paragraphs 2 and 3 again and see what I mean

Also, this is NSR... that stands for Non Scooby Related. Hey, look I even highlighted the abbreviated letters too

DYK, you are nuts

lol this was the exact point i was making in what i said.. when i mentioned the queen i mentioned something i can think but that i would not say, in other words i was giving an example of of something similar to how somone saying a family is guilty with out any evidence. so i wasnt actually trying to offend anyone if you understand what i mean but was just showing that sometimes you need to keep things to yourself like what i said about the queen. so relax guys this is my country and my views are my views but i was just making a point.. apologies if anyone was really offended.

Here's what we know about Scoobs - they are crap cars made out of tin foil and driven by chavs.

And now you have my view.

lol i agree

well lets just wait for the police statement to clear things up for everyone telling us what went off, what they were doing and what the family were doing to help and where £100k in cash came from.

DYK

Thanks Lee ...but i can't go from 0 to Biatch in 3.5 seconds

todays Daily Mails says the father is separated from him wife.

The Zohan

must be true then

Well in having an uncontroversial and balanced stance you may as well not comment. Lets look at the facts:

The family chose to put their young son in danger after probably settling in the UK and gaining British nationality. So rather than taking advantage of our civilised society, off they go back to the badlands of Pakistan on a jolly where kidnapp and murder is the norm.

The boy gets kidnapped and the family raise 100 grand at the drop of a hat, and lets realise that the mother works in Iceland, now the only person i know that was on that sort of money working for Iceland was that silly cow Kerry Katonia

Now i've always been in employment since leaving school and have earned decent money so far, but i could not afford to go jet setting around the world, and if i had a situation where i had to raise 100 grand tomorrow and my life depended on it, i admit i could not do it.

As a parent i would not put my family in danger if i had been given the opportunity to settle in a civilised country. And if anybody have made an attempt to kidnapp my son or daughter, lets just say there would be desperate people even more desperate because they would end up with their bollox in a sling.

Look at the Madeline case, these were supposedly inteligent professional people who chose to abandon their children, the things most precious

**** me, i won't even leave my Impreza in a supermarket car park never mind leave my kids alone in a strange country!

The whole situation is very suspicious, and i think it difficult to convey a balanced view and uncontroversial stance.
