Talk:Kidnapping of Shannon Matthews

Age
Nowhere in this article does it say how old Shannon Matthews was at the time.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 12:35, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Could be calculated from first sentence, she would be 9 as stated in third reference. Feel free to add somewhere in article. Keith D (talk) 13:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Done.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 23:06, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

political nature
This is not objective, hence I am asking here, but the section on post-trial media reaction seems rather political. There is no comment from left wing sources nor much scrutiny of the claims made in the articles.

Thanks for your time, Fred. 02:54 13 January 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.107.223 (talk) 02:55, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

the concocted plot was actually inspired by the large offered mccann reward?
the concocted plot was actually inspired by the large offered mccann reward? (the "kidnappers" had seen that large reward being offered in that genuine case and thought they could concoct a similar enough kidnapping to claim the reward for solving that?)
