Go Fund me or Go **** off?

I agree Monica and as the very generous British public have donated over 36 thousand I think it shows that many people are concerned..

It’s been changed OldFrill. Originally the friend and the mother were beneficiaries. The mother also wants to use part of the money to fly other family members out ….

Yes I saw this too. Fly other family members to ' help with the search ,'
If the trained search organisations can't find him then how will untrained friends who live down the same street help ?
There was mentioned that they were there for a free holiday..But.....

Love it Winnie and GSM! Cynics? Of course not! Something feels fishy Can't pinpoint what it is.

I don't to sound like a prophet of doom but there are rather a lot of wild boar on Tenerife.

If a wild boar got him I presume nobody would ever find out?

I can see no reason why he should ever have left the road. safe walking on a good surface, the hopes of hitchhiking a lift from a passing vehicle.

Just because Michael Mosely was found in a rocky precipitous landscape, doesn't mean that that is where all holiday makers who miss a bus end up. MM set out to walk a cross country footpath. Jay Slater didn't.

I have no idea and no theories about what happened to this lad, but that he got lost in wild landscape, when he was walking along a road seems to me one of the least probably explanations for his disappearance.

I think go fund me has become a good excuse for people not to take financial responsibility.

Should the organisation only allow appeals via registered charities?

I also agree. More and more people do not take out holiday insurance or do take it out and then go and rent out scooters, bikes etc. which are not included in the insurance policy as there is a different section for this.

I have found that some elderly friends with reportable illnesses have not even taken out an insurance policy as it was too expensive and they thought they would be okay when on holiday, but then tripped or slipped on a marble floor and broken their leg and are asking their family to pay for the hospital treatment.

Serves themselves right, I have no sympathy.

Trouble is like a lot of good things it has become abused what started as good idea has become a free for every tom dick and harry it is a shame as lots of deserving causes get buried under all the scams

As already remarked on, we are all free to give or not as we please.
There are deserving cases but do research if you can to make sure they’re genuine.
