'Other children are being forgotten': Mother of missing girl furious after Madeleine McCann search effort granted $190,000 more
Karen Downes criticised the decision to inject more cash into the search for Madeleine McCann and asked why other children who've gone missing don't get the same sort of treatment
53-year-old Karen Downes, the mother of 14-year-old Charlene Downes who went missing in 2003, has criticized the Home Office's decision to award more funding to the investigation looking into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
The three-year-old McCann went missing from a resort in the Algarve region of Portugal in 2007, sparking what has been called "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history," and the 11-year search for her has reportedly cost close to £12 million (~$15 million) after the most recent £150,000 ($190,000) injection.
