Madeleine McCann Is A Mental Condition
ELIZABETH Renzetti is the Globe & Mail’s woman in London. She’s talking about childhood freedoms with hard drinking mums and dads. Thoughts turn to Our Maddie:
Reader, I gave up. There was an unbridgeable chasm between the nostalgia we all felt for our helmet-free childhoods, with their parent-shaped holes and wonderful freedoms, and the chances we are willing to take with our own children. No one wanted to admit that childhood is safer now, by every empirical measure, than it was when we were young. Instead, they have the ubiquitous picture of three-year-old Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in 2007 from the hotel in Portugal where she was staying with her parents, stamped on their brains.
