i have to ask, where are these children now? how can kids this damaged and who have experienced this type of horror ever be helped or normalized again. I am so disturbed by all of this.

Unfortunately, the children are in the state custody and the mother who is fighting to get them back was accused of coercing them to get full custody (which doesn't make sense since she already had main custody). She and her boyfriend (the person who found out that the kids were being abused) were threatened, intimidated and attacked and had to flee the UK to go in hiding somewhere in Europe. The maternal grandparents (a very lovely Russian couple) are also pleading with the UK to let them have and raise them, since they view the mother as a threat. Sadly, nothing seems to be working.

Thanks for the information, sad as it is. The fact that they won't allow the grandparents to care for the children is also alarming. I'm sure they will continue to try to attack the children, attack their stories, and attack the mother.

I'm not sure about the boyfriend because at one point that boyfriend was said to be abusing the children physically -- with a large metal spoon? Hitting them?

Others commenting are also noticing how very convenient people are put in the pathway of these parents. For instance in the case of the McCann family we see that she meets someone who puts her in touch with a detective who eventually embezzles money from them. That detective was responsible for finding an Irish witness who was in Portugal at the time of the kidnapping and he provided the details (as I understand this case) on which the computer-generated photos were based.

Didn't know about Mrs. Dearman's previous marriage.

I just found a very odd piece of information on Ella's first husband Will Draper. He is a banker that was responsible for bringing Ella to the UK and for introducing her to Ricky Dearman after they divorced. Well, his full name is James William Draper and so I did a search under that name. http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=61402871&privcapId=24373022 . So he is always working for big investment banks.
