It's what the media wants to pick up on. If they were to make headlines about every kid that was kidnapped, it would be straight 24 hr programming. They can't pick up on every single thing that happens. The other day in Texas, a woman killed her three kids and shot her husband but didn't kill him. She thought he was dead then pulled the trigger and killed herself. It's almost like an Andrea Yates story. It got no media attention at all.
