      It's tragic when the family puts in more effort than the people that are supposed to protect and serve. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of good police out there that will do everything they possibly can to help but it's disturbing and discouraging how many incompetent, lazy and uncaring police there are out there. I understand that they may be overworked, understaffed and low on resources but sensitivity and understanding toward the victims and their families shouldn't be something the police lack in. I'm sick of police not taking families seriously, brushing off concerns of loved ones only to end up running around silly and screwing up with sloppy investigative work once it's proven the child didn't just run off as they had assumed. How many times have we heard "they are probably out with their friends and they'll be back soon, they probably just got caught up, or he or she are an adult, they can go missing if they want to"
      The Corruption and socioeconomic bias in this world allows these monsters, these deviants all the freedom they want and need to exploit the innocent.

    How any judge could decide that taking a young boy against his mother's wishes (to visit a sex worker!) and then not being able to account for the boy's location is not abduction boggles my mind.

    This man is good at narrating. He keeps me in tuned. While I'm listening to Casefile, I take my phone with me everywhere in the house LOL. I never heard of some of these people. Casefile awakens my curiosity, I usually end up doing my own research after listening. Casefile is a really good channel!

    Horrifying. Imagine identifying your kidnapped child in photos seized during a raid on a global paedophile ring. Then the abusers likely murdered little Rui. It's a very dark tale. What's known is terrible, but there is enough unknown for the imagination to entertain the worst. I feel sick. That poor boy.

    Between Rui Pedro and Madeleine McCann, the Portuguese police seem like they don’t care too much about missing children. They brushed the parents off on both cases during the most critical part of the crimes.

      No, the McCanns and their creepy friends are part of this recently uncovered p*do ring. You should read about the creepy photos they took of madeleine, as well as the connections they had with the royals and british high society. The McCanns themselves had a part in whatever happened that night for certain. I recommend you go to Shaun Attwood's channel and listen to his podcasts about the connections between Prince Andrew, the McCanns, Epstein, etc, provided you have the time to listen to the entire thing for an hour or two.

    So Portugal does not have the law that states if someone is missing for 7 years, then they are legally declared dead? Is it up to the family to take that decision? Anyway, that was a terribly sad case, I really felt for that poor mother.

    I would like to know if any of these abductees ever make any serious efforts to return to their families or why they don't when they were in tears as they were being led away. The abducted person featured in this video had 11 years of memories being with his family in Portugal and is certainly capable of finding his way back home by now. If these ones taken are now alive as grown adults aren't returning home, it is because they don't want to be reunited with their families anymore, I guess, but look at all the anguish they cause their grieving relatives.His mother really suffered and is still suffering. Doesn't her son care?

    • @vvV-dl7kq
      @vvV-dl7kq Před 6 dny

      You mean assuming he isn't dead, or held against his will and so isn't physically able to return home? Cause those 2 scenarios are probably the most likely that have happened.

    When you lose your child. Life takes on a new dark meaning where you feel the presence of evil. There is a cloud that hangs over you. It is an on going alternation between feelings of if life has meaning and total feelings of loneliness.
