Parents of missing Maddie deny using sedatives by Nina Gotzmannova

Three year old British girl Maddie McCann is still missing. Since her disappearing in Portugal in May, the police, in spite of world spread media coverage, wasn't able to find this blonde daughter of two English doctors. They were desperate seeking in Portugal, Spain and North Africa, they had the support of many British celebrities, and finally in September they become suspects. On Wednesday, Gerry and Kate McCann appeared in Spanish TV in the first television interview since September. The Portugal police have a theory about Maddie. They anticipate that Gerry and Kate McCann gave Maddie sedatives to calm her down, because they wanted to go to a restaurant nearby. They left her dazzled in their apartment with her two younger siblings, but when they came back, horrified realized, that the girl is dead. They panicked and disposed her body, saying their daughter is missing and pretending they are innocent. Maddie's parents strictly denied this accusing. They say they are innocent and all the theory about drugging their daughter is "outrageous". In the interview the parents also said they still believe their daughter is alive, not dead as the officials are assuming, and they hope the abductor will return her home. The saddest thing about this case is that missing Maddie is only one of thousands kids that disappeared every day. Every year disappears 797,500 children in United States only. Maddie is a small drop in a sea full of missing daughters, sons, cousins and grandchildren. The media coverage didn't help finding her, but there are thousands of anonymous kids the world doesn't care about. And the question is, why?
