Shannon Matthew's step dad arrested

whats happened to the other kids if shes in custody

this family seems very dodgy

I think it was mentioned here that 3 others are in care. I know some don't live with their mum.

Poor Shannon's mother has tonight been charged with child neglect and perverting the course of justice in connection with the kidnapping.
They [the police] are also investigating claims that family members and/or friends tried to gain funds from the McCann case by hassling the McCann's representatives............

I feel sorry for Shannon and her brothers and sisters I've read that her biological dead is seeking custody of her so I hope that works out. I would say i'm appalled that any mother would use one of her children like that but really i'm not surprised at all, some people just shouldn't be parents..

Oh they all want Shannon now.

I saw Karen Matthew's sister on the tv yesterday speaking about how shame has been heaped on the family etc but, added that she has a loving home just waiting for Shannon and she will be more than willing to have her.

Shannon's Dad wants her now too - he hasn't seen her since last summer.

I just hope the poor child isn't going to still be seen as a cash cow once this part of her ordeal is over.

Not sure of the full story between Shannon and her real father but she had wanted to go live with her dad...You never know if the mother had stopped him seeing her,they arent excatly a full shilling her and the step dad (obviously).

I think it's terrible what they have done. And them poor children having to grow up and learn about what had happened.
