I too think it is inappropriate to show this before a U rated film.It would be acceptable for much older children and adults but not for children as young as 3.You don't want that foisted upon them when you're out for a fun time at the cinema.My 6 year old has caught bits of the story on the news but I have been spared from having to go into too much detail.It's very hard to explain to a young child.We all try to make our children aware of the dangers around us without frightening the life out of them but the trouble with this sad tale is that Madeleine did nothing wrong.She didn't run into the road,get into a car or talk to strangers,she was snatched from her bed whilst asleep.I don't want my kids to hear stories like this.It should be up to the parents how much,if any,of this story they want to tell their children,not have it thrust upon them in a cinema.
