Why is it that whenever I hear about a missing person it is almost always about a white girl? Are abductions exclusive to white females who are usually blondes or have light brown hair? I never hear about a cute little black girl getting this much attention (I'm sure there are black girls being abducted) or even a cute little south Asian, Hispanic, Aboriginal, Irish, Oriental, and so on. I don't even hear about male abduction. Is a cute little light haired white female a better story to sale?
Too Much Media Attention On McCann Case?
YES!
It makes it seem like the thousands (yes, sadly) of kids that are abducted every year in Europe don't even exist. It's horrible, sad, voyeuristic, misleading, disappointing and disturbing.
Too Much Media Attention On McCann Case?
What happened to all the missing children that turned up in Belgium locked in soundproof rooms? Did anyone look for them? The current case is media driven, by high profile professional parents. There are all sorts of abductions - particularly inter country where the parents of different nationalities are dragging their offspring across international boundaries in custody battles. I doubt whether we would even know of 1% of abductions if the victim is of little interest in the media.
