I don’t usually comment on such matters – after all, how can a blog entry help find a missing child? – but I just want to say how shocked I am by the case of April Jones. Of course, I probably feel more strongly about it because april has cp. That sounds a bit wrong: it is a tragedy when any child gets abducted, disabled or not, yet once I heard that april and I have something in common, I paid much more attention to the case. I keep wondering what kind of monster would take such a child, and whether she was taken because she would have been less able to fight back. I hope as we all do that she is still alive, and wonder where she is and worry that she would be in pain. But tragically I think its now unlikely, and my thoughts go out to her family.
