BamaBR549, I was not jumping on your comments. Sounds like you would do just as I would do and I appreciate that level of love for a child. The reason we have so many criminals is the lack of or depth of love we show our children. The Holloway thing, in my mind is because it was in another country, a resort location, and a variety of other circumstances that separate it from the average city in the U. S. Good luck with number 3 and keep on loving those babies. It makes a difference. And by-the-way, race has nothing at all to do with a missing child as you and others have said.

IB4U2, I have two boys myself and a third child on the way, I don't blame any parent for raising as much he** as they can over it whatsoever.

I was just responding to tonyjay's (somewhat veiled) assertion that it had to do with race. My statement was to just bring up the practical side of it; it takes big money to do what Holloway did.

I agree with the recent posters, race should have absolutely nothing to do with it.

why is it that a child is missing, scared, hurting and just wanting to get home, that people have to make this a race issue because some other child might get more air time than the other? instead of people arguing over black or white they should be on the out look for this child. yes this site needs more details about this child and a much better photo, agree 100%!! but never fails that when something happens it will always find a way to turn into a RACE issue. how can we ever get past race and just come together as a one NATION UNDER GOD and help as we can, pray like we SHOULD and hopefuly this child along with thousands more that you here nothing on the news about, make it home to where they belong!! god bless this family and keep their faith strong!

I don't even credit this news station with giving her the two days that you do tonyjay. Despite the comments here requesting more details and better photo to help in locating her, the webpeople can't be bothered to update the story with the information requested by their readers. Obviously this site just isn't that interested in her story and that is a crying shame.


tonyjay
wstrusa your absolutely right, but what does that have to do with the media jumping all over the natalee missing and getting coverage for years and this little girl getting 2 days of coverage?


IB4U2
Wstrusa, BamaBR549 ---Wait until some of these kids grown up and experience the feeling one has toward their child and they will understand the hell on earth Beth Holloway has and is experiencing. Meanwhile, we can read their comments and laugh because we know they have not arrived yet. I'm not making light of this situation by saying I would look at all of the boyfriends, all of the babys daddies, the next door neighbor sitting around waiting on his disability check, etc. It's not likely a stranger abducted her from her home. Now, if she was standing outside on the street, I might change my mind.


Wstrusa
I never understand why Natalee gets brought up in these situations - especially in a negative manner in regards to the press she got. If I had a child that went missing - I would do everything in my power to find her - no matter if it involved constant media or not. Whatever is necessary. Wouldn't you tonyjay????????


BamaBR549
TonyJay, Beth Holloway kept the story in the news because it was an international case, with suspicions of cover up, and because (agreed daviselhds) she had the financial resources to keep "bringing it" in the Aruban courts. I'm not making any statements on this little girls family by no means, to be fair, they could be in a similar situation for all I know. But that's the reality of it, good lawyers, private investigators, and all that do cost boatloads of money.

I too would also like more information about where people should focus their attention, and also believe a better picture would help tremendously.


daviselhds
The amount of coverage generated depends on how much of a fuss her parents make. Natalee wouldn't have received as much coverage as she did if her mother hadn't made people pay attention. I pray that they find this child safe regardless of what kind of "coverage" she gets.


tonyjay
I bet she gets 1 millionth of the coverage that natalee got.......


RIFRAF
It would also be helpful if you made the picture on your site big enough for someone to see who wasn't viewing it on a 32" HDTV. On a typical monitor this picture could be just about any young black girl. Redo the photo to eliminate the huge wording and make it helpful please.

She and her family are also in my prayers.


stehrster
Give us a little more information about WHERE she lived and where should people focus their attention?

I'd gladly keep my eyes open but I can't if I don't know where to look.

My prayers are for her and her family and that she is found safe and healthy.
