And there are several other white children whose abductions have went unnoticed. More than half on that list are minorities (Blacks and hispanics)

I think that media coverage is good but I think it should also only be local media and not 24/7 on national media, just a brief mention.

I remember when I went to Oxford in the summer of 2002, tabloids covered the Holly and Jessica disappearance every single day (the Daily Mirror and the Sun for example), but the Times really only gave a blip to them and really focused on important world issues such as politics.

That's what I now think of CNN, et al. Tabloid news.
