McCann in the U.S.
Before he left, he had a tearful goodbye to his wife Kate, who is still in Portugal with twins Sean and Amelie.
Gerry is in the U.S. to learn more about how the country works to prevent children from becoming victims of trafficking and sexual abuse.
Heart Specialist McCann, according to Sky News, among other things, met America's first lady, Laura Bush. He will also meet with several senators and congressmen, reports Sky News.
He has already met with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Gerry McCann and his wife Kate have together fronted a massive campaign after four-year-old Madeleine disappeared from the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal 3 May this year.
- My focus now is obviously to get my daughter back. It is most important, said McCann told reporters.
- But I think there is much goodwill out there now, so maybe we can do something tangible to help all children, said Father McCann.
Posters with pictures of the missing four-year-old hanging in bookstores in 200 countries worldwide, at the request of Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
This weekend it was announced that a Portuguese campaign wants to get Madeleine McCann parents accused of neglect. Yesterday parents beat back the criticism and called it painful.
- Kate and I find this criticism very painful and unhelpful. Our pain and anxiety is increasing every hour, said Gerry McCann.
