I get your point, but if people don't know about a particular child, then why expect John Q. Public to become upset about it.

I presume we all understand that there are missing, abused and exploited kids out there. There have been similar cases in the Houston area that certainly received local attention, but for some reason did not make national attention. Maybe a local case that received some national attention is Andrea Yates. She is the NASA area mom who drowned her 5 kids.

Why the Anthony trial became so nationally sensational, I can't remember.
