I find it odd that the mother has not been allowed to see her daughter, it must be 2 weeks since she was found. 
Perhaps this is why
The other thing I found even stranger was that when the police where looking for Shannon and they asked for details of all relatives everyone "forgot" about the weirdo uncle who hadn't been seen since Shannon vanished.
More to come on this tale methinks.

I remember someone saying "more to this than meets the eye"
And the uncle saying, when arrested, that he had taken the girl for her own protection.
Maybe he knew of undesirable goings-on and chose a poor way of dealing with it.
Perhaps we will find out the truth one day.

it appears that Shannon was about to be taken into care anyway... the boyfriend was 'allegedly' hitting her.... and now the kiddie porn thing... isn't it odd that those that make the appeal are quite often are responsible?

I would not be suprised if that was the reason he took her, or she stayed with him? Seems strange the mother has only seen shannon twice since being found. Any other mother would surley be making a din. Like you say though truth will out.
Everything in the public domain about this story leads us to conclude that the uncle and Shannon were hiding together from the family and the police. The uncle probably thought he was protecting Shannon from his nephew. However, he had her in his "possession" without authority from her parents, so he had to be charged with abduction, despite the fact (?) that the girl was happy to be with him.
wasn't there some mention that the uncle had changed his name? makes you wonder why people change their name .if he was just protecting her he should get an award.
The only good thing to come out of this so far is that little girl is alive and,as well as can be expected. it could of ended a lot worse. as a father of two young girls and three boys you spend all you waking hours worrying about them.when they are close by.

There is a lot more to this story than we know, time will tell all.
Shannon's mum went to the dole office to sort out her dole.
"How many kids have you got?" she was asked.
"Seven", she replied.
"What are their names? "
"Shannon, Shannon, Shannon, Shannon, Shannon, Shannon and Shannon".
"How do you get them all in for dinner then?"
"Oh, I just yell "Shannon" and they all come indoors".
"Ok, but then how do you single one out in particular, if they're being naughty?"
"Aww that's easy, I just use their surname".

One of the few funny (as in comic) aspects of this case is that the mother thinks the word "twins" refers to children with the same father. 
But maybe this is all part of a cunning plan to become rich and famous. If she watches enough junk TV (highly likely) then she must know that you can become rich and famous for thinking that "East Angular" is in Portugal!
As for the rest, I'll sit back and wait with slight amusement. (I can afford to do that because Shannon is still in one piece.) I must admit that I hadn't considered the idea of her uncle taking her 'for her own protection'. If this was really the case, why not go straight to the police? -- or social services? -- or the Daily Star? -- or, if all those options were beyond his limited brain capacity, how difficult could it have been to ring a premium rate number on a junk TV show? (OK, I concede that it's not easy to ring anybody at all if you've had your phone cut off.
