    Yes, but those numpties are doing these things because they don't have their children, so that's alright then.

      You are probably more likely to have your child harmed by a babysitter than be a victim of a home invasion and abduction. Statistically speaking of course.

      Anyways, they have in the past used libel money to fund their own investigators, if anything good has come of this it is that Portugal got so much of a hammering into their laissez faire attitude to child abuse from the ongoing spotlight the McCann's have brought that there have undoubtedly been less victims.

        Unless they are F4J, of course.

        Does anyone round here fit the bill?

          I don't think I ever saw them dressed up as Reg Hollis or DCI Burnside, no.

              You mean they may not have children and just enjoy dressing up in ridiculous costumes and making fools of themselves?
              I hadn't thought of that.

                  So if you were denied access to your kids you would not dress up? IMO you are a very poor parent.

                  I was arrested trying to see my kids. And from no access I went to 4 days a week custody.

                  Oddly most of the access success stories come from those at the end of their tether who threaten to go(or go) over the mark. Very sad state of affairs.

                  Ideally both parents would act in the best interests of the kids. I saw a daily mail story(yes I know I should avoid it!) today about some TV presenter who does not pay for his kids. I was shocked and disgusted - what a moron.

                    I would do anything to see my kids if I was in the same boat as you Brillo think people who are trying to take the mic are in bad taste IMO.
