grow up david
trying to make a point? the figure of 10 million is conservative (several higher amounts with a quick google)
i dont blame them one bit for taking every resource available to them just making the point not a chance the average spend on a missing child is anywhere near that.
You have quoted one other very high profile as your point
well done
I grew up a long while ago sir.
I responded to your assertion that the average spend on a missing child was 'low four figures'.
I'll accept that the Shannon Matthews case was high profile, but they managed to spend an average of c£150,000 a day on that search. how quickly do you think the 'average' search is completed to keep the cost to 'low four figures'?
Anyway, while we're debating this at least nobody is getting hysterical about the McCanns.
