Ten years after the disappearance of little Madeleine McCann, and coinciding with this tragic anniversary, the British press has echoed a tattoo that is becoming fashionable among the English They spend their holidays in the Mallorcan town of Magaluf.

"I stole Madeleine McCann" (I stole Madeleine McCann), is the cruel message that "triumphs" among British tourists and that they proudly show on their social networks. How far is the cruelty of the human being able to go?

"Jokes" that should be banned

In the locality of Magaluf, sadly known for the vandalism and uncontrolled acts that summer after summer are carried out by British tourists staying there, a terrible event is taking place that the British press and the tattoo artists themselves have echoed.

And it has become fashionable among tourists, tattoo on his body the phrase "I stole Madeleine McCann", an expression of bad taste and extreme cruelty that should not be allowed.

The tattooists warned in the Daily Star newspaper that many of his clients ask to tattoo really offensive things, but that they must respect their decisions and work on what they are asked.

"We receive lots of crazy Britons here asking for all kinds of tattoos. We will do whatever they want, even if it's offensive. It's their personal decision" - indicates one of the tattoo artists.

Alcohol, drugs, the strange way of understanding fun and lack of control seem to be behind this kind of "jokes" or madnesses, of which both the British press and other citizens are ashamed and shocked.

Ten years later, the Madeleine case remains unsolved. The girl, who was three years old at the time of her disappearance, spent the summer with her parents and siblings in a hotel in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve of Portugal.

Since its disappearance, there have been several moments in which the little girl has been teased or teased on the Internet. In fact, some media report the existence of offensive and macabre merchandising that refers to the alleged kidnapping of Madeleine or his family.

And in the face of such events, I wonder, how far is the cruelty of the human being, the lack of empathy and the mockery of the pain of others?
