Seven years since Madeleine McCann disappeared
It is seven years today since Madeleine McCann went missing while on holiday with her family in Portugal.
On Thursday, Kate McCann, Madeleine's mother backed a revamped alert system that is triggered when missing children are kidnapped or their lives are at risk.
The Metropolitan Police also revealed recently that they are looking at five cases in which young British girls were sexually assaulted during holiday home break-ins by a lone intruder in the Algarve.
One of these was in 2005 on a 10-year-old girl in Praia da Luz, where Madeleine, then three, vanished two years later.
