This is not uncommon.

Especially if the kid is from a trailer park.

Way to point out the important facts!

Yes. It's a generalization. When I'm saying something is statistically pretty common, that's a generalization.

Just for the record, how many national stories about missing persons originated with kids missing from poor/minority families?

Can you even think of a single missing person story about a black child which made national news? You'd think black kids never went missing.

Not exactly a children's case but more along Kevin's line of example:

Latoya Figueroa vs Natalee Holloway and the lack of coverage that Figueroa received.

Actually that's why I said that.

I just don't understand what is wrong with people these days. Were these kinds of things happening back then but just weren't broadcast? This is so sad.
