TEN MISSING AND MURDERED CHILDREN'S CASES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MADELEINE MCCANN
Just three months after the tenth anniversary of Madeleine McCann going missing, Profiler Pat Brown's new book, Ten Missing and Murdered Children's Cases That Have Nothing To Do With Madeleine McCann is available in online bookstores everywhere. Check out what fascinating cases that have nothing to do with Madeleine McCann will be included in this amazing new book! Because, after all, other children matter, too, don't they? Note to the When you promote Pat Brown's new book, Ten Missing and Murdered Children's Cases that Have Nothing to Do with Madeleine McCann, don't forget to mention Madeleine McCann. Note to This book is a satirical but truthful look at how the Madeleine McCann case has eclipsed all other missing and murdered children's cases much to their detriment. This is not an in-depth look at these ten cases but a comparison of what has happened to cases like these in the time of Madeleine McCann. Do they get any media? Do they get support? Do they get properly investigated? Or does the Madeleine McCann case always beat them out, stealing away most of the publicity and funding? We, the public, need to stand up for other missing and murdered children because the McCanns and the media and the politicians surely will not make any real effort to right the imbalance.

This Book Matters!
Why does this book matter so much ?
This book matters to all the Missing and Murdered children around the world who don't have access to top of the line professional help in assisting in their case and will never been found because the lack of funds and resources.
This book matters to the 100,000 of grieving parents and family members who never received a dollar or media plug on the air to help locate their missing child.
This book matters to the world, because the Madeleine McCann case has become a poor example on how media is not taking the responsibility on reporting the truth and never discusses other Missing and Murdered children .
Madeleine McCann is one of 1,000's of Missing children that have vanished without a trace .
Pat Brown has been one of the very few people in the media that have reported and analyzed the case from the very beginning . She makes excellent points that yes, Madeline does matter, but so do the 1,000 of other children who go missing without their lives being validated and remembered in the media. One life, as precious as Madeleine's , is Not more important than another life.
I think Pat Brown did a fabulous commentary on how the MccCan case has impacted our society and how we must remember the other thousands of cases besides the sensational Madeleine McCann case.
All children's lives matter!
I highly recommend this short but to the point book!

I fully support the premise behind this but it ended up just sounding bitter and, ironically, talked more about the McCann's than the numerous other cases which could have been included with less ranting.

Murder cases and how they are handled. (IMOO)
From the very first time I heard Profiler Pat Brown speak in TV, I though then that she was going to be someone I would come to like and highly respect. I was right, she proved herself to be a lady, intelligent, judgemental, genuine, and strong in her beliefs. I have read a few books of hers, and I recommend anything she writes. Now I didn't say you have to agree with everything she says... Heck, I do not expect everyone to agree with my thoughts and opinions, I am simply asking that you at least consider what she says and give it thought.
I think this short story is well worth reading. It is not at all centred on Madeline MacCann, though it may or may not seen that way. I like Profiler Brown says in here. It kind of sent my brain into a frenzy quandary of thoughts - in a good, inquisitive way that is. After considering what she says in here, I that some cases where a person has been murdered, assaulted, erc., gets either loads of attention and/or media coverage while others... say the poor/poverty stricken, etc., receives less. It is not fair, that is like saying the well-to-do, attractive, a pillar in your community, and on and on that your life is more important. That could not not be further from truth. All life matters. I place no price tag on human beings, as I think all human life is priceless and every one deserves justice without regard to socioeconomic status, etc. Any way, that is just a brief summarization of my thoughts.

Poor
This reads like a first draft by someone who believes everything they write is brilliant. There is the logical fallacy of 'whataboutery' (what about this case, or that case). However, it doesn't answer the question of what happened to MM. The amount of media exposure is surely an totally independent variable, not withstanding the McCann's undoubtedly clever PR.
The author claims it is because the McCanns are 'middle class'. However, the fathers of both were working class joiners. They are not particularly attractive, with Kate's bony chiselled features and Gerry's snarl. It is quite untrue that the Shannon Matthews case got far less publicity. It was wall to wall coverage for weeks! Everybody in the UK has heard of it.
There is definately something off about the MM case but this poorly argued 'essay' doesn't employ convincing arguments.

Agree with other reviewer that this book is important!
I picked this book because missing people and unsolved crimes are an interest of mine. I was aware of all other missing children's cases briefly profiled other than the little boy also from Portugal. Comparing MM's media attention with each case really helped bring out what is wrong with focusing attention on kids/people for superficial reasons. Some of the wording did make me cringe even though it *does* say it's supposed to be satirical.

Terrible Premise
What a misguided idea. This author tries to say that more missing children would get airplay if it wasn't for the attention that has been given to missing Madeleine McCann. Apples and oranges. Poor Maddy. Is it her fault that media has made such a star of her? If she was unknown would we then suddenly know about Little Janie from Iowa or Baby Sam from Nova Scotia? No, we wouldn't. I wish this author hadn't hung her complaint on this poor kidnapped English child.
And to add to this weird premise, the cases she covers are thin as all get out.

Not a book
Basically just an article detailing the circumstances that have led to other children's disappearances going largely unreported in the media. Pat Brown is very correct when she states every child should be treated equally. Well written and some fair points made but certainly cannot be called a book .

Interesting
Although a very short book very interesting read . I must be honest and say I have never heard of these missing children cases so perhaps proved a point Pat Brown is making . Totally agree with her that the Mcanns have to totally courted the media .

Outlining differences between missing children
Good read focussing on how the McCanns differ from every other missing child case. Very relevant. Interesting read .if you are a McCann supporter, then you won't enjoy this book . I did enjoy it.

Very interesting
I found this a very good topic to discuss! After all EVERY child matters regardless of social standings in the family!!!

I really wish she would write a longer book. Too bad Carter Ruck threatened Amazon and they pulled her book on Maddie.

Not good for McCann supporters
This book was just a moan about the Mccanns just like all of Pat Brown's videos it's time to leave the Mccanns alone and give them some peace

Very quick and easy read. It was also insightful.

Another great read from Pat Brown. It shines a light on the McCann case, and uses it to inform how unjust the media are in selecting who is “important”’enough to be on the front of the newspaper. The book also shines a light on other missing children’s cases, a reminder that there are many truly grieving parents out there, and many lost children.
