Although I totally feel for the missing Maddie's family, and i would do the same in their situation, people donating 2.5 million pounds for her return seems a bit on the mad side when...

-Malaria kills more than 1 million people a year
-90% of malaria deaths occur among young children
-The disease consumes 40% Africa's public health spending
-60% of malaria deaths strike the poorest 20% of the global population
-71% of all deaths from malaria are in the under-fives
-Children can die within 48 hours after the first symptoms appear
Can i suggest that everyone stops watching the BBC news, buys a mozzie net and posts it to Africa? - call me stupid but do your own maths... (look up the cost of a mozzie net!) 2.5 million pounds worth of mozzie nets = thousands of children's lives saved.

I just looked on missing children's website and over 70,000 children are reported missing in the UK every year...
Not to sound cold hearted or anything.
The world is turning into a media circus.
