Stop funding the search for Madeleine McCann.

Closed 50 signatures

What the petition asks

The funds being spent on finding her could be spent on other things helping more people.
The McCanns left her unattended and the taxpayer is now paying the price in finding her. Other parents with missing children have thousands spent on trying to find them not millions. This money could be used to help ex servicemen who are homeless or injured or to any of the other deserving charities in the UK that help children.
