Yes, Saw That One & Agree With You!

The tabloids seem to love it when the victims are young, vulnerable, and, I'm sorry to say, pretty/attractive.

Madeline McCann ticks all of their boxes, as did the two girls in the Soham murder.

Is it too cynical for me to wonder if, for example, a ordinary black seven year old girl would get the same coverage?
