Madeleine Parents In
Warning Over Paedophiles |
|
|
The parents of Madeleine McCann have given a TV interview to warn how common
child attacks are.
Gerry and Kate McCann said they were shocked to learn just how many child
abductions take place every year, and said something must be done to stop
paedophiles.
Speaking on RTP, the state channel in Portugal, Kate said: "I think
there are lots of people out there who aren't aware of the scale of the
problem, and should be.
"I think it's something that needs to be publicised to make people aware -
and something needs to be done about it."
Gerry said he became aware of the scale of the problem when he visited child
abduction experts in London.
He added: "In England
and Wales
in 2002/3 there were over 1,000 attempted child abductions, and actually over
100 were successful abductions by strangers.
"Most of those children were returned fairly quickly, but you have to ask
yourself who are abducting these children and why, and what are their motives.
"I was absolutely astounded. So what we've learned is the scale of the
problem is much greater than we were ever aware of."
The couple also spoke of their gratitude after author JK Rowling stepped in to
help their campaign.
She has asked for Madeleine's poster to be featured in every shop selling her
new Harry Potter book when it is released on Saturday.
Gerry said: "It's such a kind and huge gesture."
They hope thousands of people will see the missing girl's image as they queue
up to buy copies of Harry Potter And The Deathly
Hallows. |
