The Madeline case stands out more because she is a blonde haired blue eyed relatively attractive girl. Those features are a hot commodity in that part of the world. If she is still alive I would guess she has been taken from the area to be used as a slave of sorts.. Only a theory.
There have been many features about her on CNN and other news channels. Why not spotlight on other missing children? There are hundreds in that region alone. I think it's unfair for this to get so much attention alone.
But it only goes to prove you are never safe anywhere, even in a high end hotel. Vacations give you a false sense of safety/security. What could possibly happen on vacation right? People die on vacation (a friend of mine's mother died on vacation), people are badly hurt and bad things can happen anywhere. People take kids. There is evil in the world, not much but one bad seed ruins it for many.
I think it's insane that no matter how close those parents were to their hotel room, the young kids were still left alone in there. I don't know what they were thinking.
