Why Psychic Shouldn't Help Find Missing Madeleine

A 'top psychic' from south Wales has been sent to Portugal to help with the search for Madeleine McCann.

According to Diane Lazarus, she already knows where Madeleine isn't, the type of people she's with, how they've changed her appearance and that she will be returned safely.

If I was the parents of Madeleine, there would be no chance that I would listen to the words of a psychic. I don't believe a word that they say and if you do listen to them you risk building up false hopes or indeed having your hopes smashed. Just take a look at Sylvia Brown (wikipedia) and see how wrong she can be.

such people are a shame, if they would really be able to help they'd have the decency to do so in silence
"here" in belgium had a same case 'bout 15 years ago, the father of a missing child got contacted & looked for answers @ this kind of people : he never got a decent trace or answer, girl has never been found back
what a shame such looneys

don't get me wrong, i really hope they find the little girl but the amount of exposure this case has received in comparison to others of the same importance is beyond belief.
i'd bet my life on the fact that since she went missing at least one other kid has been abducted, why don't we hear about them?

Psychic's = charlatans, read up on 'cold reading' that is hoit works, all sympathy to those who are so distraught over something that they need to find consolation in listening to some half-wit pretend to have a 'gift', lets put the Madeline thing in perspective, the parents shouldnt have left her alone full stop and no mateer how many banner waving football supporters or how many posters we put up etc isn,t going to change the unfortunate fact that she very likely wont be seen again, but now the popes involved im sure im wrong.

to Robert Gale.

You are obviously not a parent.

I am, and I know that I would be desperate for imformation if it was my daughter that was kidnapped no matter where it came from I could NOT and would not ignore any possible information that was comeing through.Get real and dont write such comments.

[Robert Gale]

Perhaps you didn't view the Sylvia Brown videos and see the damage
that she did to the people whose kids were missing.

There is no point accusing the parents i know they made a mistake but they are the ones going through the pain and obviously they do regret they made a mistake, we can just hope they find little Madeline, i hope the person who abducted her is found and punished so bad that it will sat up an example for other sick people like him/her.

my child seems to have been very taken by all this and i have actually shielded her from television news as well as the headlines,she has came out with some strange things about this sad ordeal and i dont no what to do.or just to ignore her.my daughter is 5 years old,she tells us she knows who has took madeline and where she is she tells us the name bradley simcox and that she is in africa i have tried to not to make a big thing about all this but she is so sure what can i do ? can anyone suggest anything she said algeria when i showed her a map then said medea / chellatel adhaoura i dont wish to interegate her but she believes she is magic

Charlotte's comments above are staggering and would be in too bad taste to be untrue.
Perhaps her daughter has picked up on fragments of detail overlooked by most of us?
Could chellatel adhaoura actually be Tletat ed Douaïr (less than a mile from Medea, Algeria)
Someone should look in to this.
