Since my sister and I were both victims of pedophilia as children, I'm extremely sensitive to the subject. However, I was on a thread I thought was about politics, so somehow, got involved in this subject.
When Madeline McCann was kidnapped in Portugal, we were only a few miles away from where it happened in Spain, just over the border at the beach.
It haunted my entire trip, and I was already quite haunted during this trip to begin with because of my youngest daughter's travails due to child sexual abuse. So hearing about Maddy, just brought it all back to me...big time.
I realized quite acutely, that having been on the Ferry to Morocco, and back again, how easy it was to ferry a child over to another country and from there, to the Atlantic Ocean. The world is a big place she could have been anywhere.
It was very hard from that point on to enjoy the trip without thinking of Madeline every day. I especially thought of her on the ferry crossing the Gibraltar Straits. Now I don't think she ever did.
I recently looked up her case, and it seems the authorities feel they know who the guy was. And it sounds like he didn't take her far nor out of Portugal. Unless there is further news on the case that was last I heard.

So sad when people "assume" you are one thing and you are another entirely. Too much of this in the world already.
About 40 years ago, a Virgo man I had business with once told me, (and I never forgot the wisdom of it), that the word assume breaks down to "u" "me" and "***" One makes one out of the others. Takes a virgo I figured then, to hone in on one word.
I doubt I'll visit this link again, it brings back too much sadness and bad memories I'd rather soon forget. But thats just me, ----- carry on!
My Neptune in the 4th, someone told me, the 2nd and 8th house planets (I have 2nd not 8th hs. planets), is considered in some Astro corners, "the axis of desire" for pedophiles. Ugh!
