Apparently it's all over the world.
Saw it this morn on MSNBC
And yes, you make a good point, kids disappear everyday somewhere in the country and in the world...they only publicize the "Cute" ones.
I guess it's more horrible when the kid is cute and white.
We had a Mexican-American little girl killed here last year and dumped in a dumpster. It was weeks before they could find out who she was (parents fled back to Mexico), and I'll bet nobody else in the world heard that story, or the other few hundred kids on the Amber Alert website, milk cartons, fliers, leaflets, and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website everyday.
I hope it ends well, but I have always wondered what makes one missing kid more important to the media than another?
And I'll bet it has to be crushing to the parents of missing children to see one kid singled out, while they sit around and wait for answers with no media attention, and national support for their child.
those stories are horribly insensitive to the thousands of parents who have lost children.
They don't even think.
