Well, the MSM has been giving us all a blow by blow account of the new searches carried out by British police - with radar and dogs - in Portugal in an attempt to shed light on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Needless to say, thus far nothing has been detected and one more site of interest remains.
But something rather unexpected has come to light:
Graffiti slurring the McCann family and describing British police as "stupid" has appeared scrawled on a wall opposite a new site being that is being investigated.
The Madeleine McCann investigation is facing a backlash from Portuguese locals as officers begin searching a second site. Sniffer dogs are being used on the area near where Madeleine McCann went missing in Portugal seven years ago after a fresh area of land was cordoned off by police in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz at first light this morning.
The words "policia ingesa [sic] estupidos" appeared on a nearby wall, as well as accusations against the McCanns, alleging they were responsible for her disappearance.
Two dogs from South Wales Police were seen with their handlers inside the cordon and appeared to be concentrating on a small area which has been marked out with police tape inside. A third officer could be seen with them examining notes. The new area is on the outskirts of the town, around 15 minutes walk from the Ocean Club resort where the McCann family were staying when the child went missing in May 2007, aged three. Specialist teams spent last week scouring an area of land closer to the holiday apartment where they were staying. The operation was extended after British police applied to the judiciary to spend an extra seven days in the resort but no work had been carried out previously this week due to a Portuguese national holiday.
A spokesman for the McCann family said they declined to comment on the graffiti, which was written in large letters in Portuguese overnight.
Further officers arrived at the new site this morning and stood around having discussions and surveying the large area. Further tape was marked out inside the square area within the cordon, appearing to highlight specific areas of interest to police. Nine officers lined up and began carrying out a methodical search inside the smaller cordoned-off area. They moved slowly forwards, poking the grassy area with sticks as they studied the ground for anything suspicious, with some of them bending over to take a closer look at times. Officers began using a pickaxe and shovel to dig within the small section, while others stood in a group watching them work. They spent a few minutes digging at the earth, which is very dry due to the warm climate.

And nothing has been found.
Do the Portuguese have a point?
Signs that a child could be suffering from neglect include:
- living in an inadequate home environment
- being left alone for a long time
- being persistently ignored by parents or carers
- poor appearance and delayed development
- taking on the role of carer for other family members.
[It's a shame "a long time" is undefined. Night after night probably qualifies...]
children who are severely and persistently neglected may be in danger.
[Persistently probably comes under the heading of night after night...]
If you think a child is in immediate danger
Contact the police on 999, or call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000, without delay.

My personal view is that the McCann's will have to live with their consciences. That is punishment enough.
