missing kids Options

[brooklyneast05]

does anyone ever noticed that when black/asian/hipsanic kids get kidnapped or go missing there they don't get national news coverage to the extent that white kids do?



aside from race , i don't even get why some kids get so much coverage and others get none. why do some get to be on the news for weeks and others never.

Its kinda like how you never hear stories about an asian parent abusing their child.

the majority of the people in the US are white so the media knows that they will bag a much bigger crowd for white as opposed to another races kidnapping.

I agree with that part and I was going to say basically the same thing.

I think that Natalee Holloway got so much media attention because yeah, she's a blonde white girl but also, her story is different than someone getting kidnapped from a grocery store.

• She was an adult: she should have been responsible for herself since she was 18 and not 8
• She was on a school trip: there were others that were supposed to be responsible for her too
• She was in another country: this probably made all parents and schools rethink trips abroad
• She was with friends drinking and wandered off with some male strangers alone: women everywhere know that this is stupid and unsafe, also her friends should NOT have let her do that period let alone in another country

Its kinda like how you never hear stories about an asian parent abusing their child.

This I disagree to, there are plenty of stories about non-white people abusing their children. That story about Nixzmary Brown which happened nearly two years ago is still widely publicized.
