Since my last post about young Shannon Matthews stepfather Craig Meehan being arrested for child porn, there have been further arrests one including her own mother.

Earlier in the week the mother of Meehan and three sisters, one whom was a neighbour of Matthews were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice respectively in the disappearance of Shannon, while on Thursday her mother Karen Matthews, 32, was charged with perverting the course of justice and child neglect. Prosecutors allege that the mother, who led a high-profile campaign to find her missing daughter, concealed information from police about where the girl was.

Police investigating the alleged kidnap of nine-year-old Shannon Matthews have urged the local community not to take vigilante action against anyone they believe was involved. on Wednesday the courtroom was packed with media, residents in Matthew’s area and Matthews’ friends, as well as court officials and lawyers where there were shouts of "yes" when district judge Jonathan Bennett refused bail and remanded Matthews in custody.

The more you here of this story the less surprising it is, the family of young Shannon all look as if they could do with a few bob and perhaps planned to use funds that they gained from the campaign to live a better quality of life. The McCanns have received thousands of pounds to help them with their campaign and are using them to help try and find their daughter. in their case little Maddy is genuinely missing and her where abouts unknown.
