I am inclined to agree that the publicity in this case has far outweighed that of any other missing child. There are thousands of missing children out there and in some way the publicity about Madeleine may help to draw people's attention to the plight of other missing kids.
I do think that parents should be given the right to inform their own children about the dangers of this world without it being foisted onto them in the form of an advert. It seems that parental rights have been nothing but eroded over the last few years.
Therefore, I don't agree with this advert although it has obviously been made with good intent.
