I too was allowed out on my own from a young age.
However, I do think that the fact that I was in my local area with other children changes things.
I think one mai thing is the language barrier.
Also, in your local area it is quite likely that other parents/adults will know/at least recognise you.
Also, after school is a bit different from being left at home alone late in the evening. My older brothers looked after my younger brother and I if my parents went out in the evening.

Aside from that point, I personally think it is extremely unlikely that Maddy is still alive.
It's awful, but it's been so long and with the amount of press surrounding it, whoever took her is not going to keep her alive.

	For what it's worth it was worth all the while. I hope you had the time of your life... I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh; I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry ~ ddoouubbllee lleetttteerr tthhrreeaaddeerr ~ honourary emma ~ honourary katY [KatY with a Y Club]
