You no doubt know the names of many missing pretty little white children that got national attention. Can you honestly recall one black child's or poor homely white child's name?<br /><br />That some children were not as pretty or from prominent enough families was a very real part of the politics of getting these alerts started all colors.<br /><br />That the response to missing children, all missing children was not what it should be led to these alerts. Remember cartons? Then websites?<br /><br /> Kudos to President Bush for signing the law that made Amber alerts possible as a national effort, but the work to find missing children began long before 1996.<br /><br />Some of us have been involved in trying to protect children for over 48 years.<br /><br />That Isiah was found quickly, that police were involved even though it was apparently a domestic kidnapping, is makes me joyous. I hate it was too, too long in coming! <br /><br />But, I hate even more that 6:08 am chose to immediately play racial politics with a missing child being found! And, still 6:08am wonders why anyone would suspect bigotry at the heart of their post!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-61695412672315924262015-01-31T12:26:34.644-06:002015-01-31T12:26:34.644-06:00"http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murder..."http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/amber_hagerman/1_index.html"<br /><br />8:35 Bullshit. Read the above for her story.<br /><br />It's good that it works for all kids suspected of being kidnapped and in danger of being killed. I'm glad Bush 43 signed the legislation to make it law in every state. Several states had previously enacted their own laws named after other killed or kidnapped children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-3661742299309333362015-01-31T08:25:48.931-06:002015-01-31T08:25:48.931-06:006:08 am You do know the story of how the Amber ale...6:08 am You do know the story of how the Amber alert came into being, don't you?<br /><br />It was because not all children were getting media attention.<br /><br />And, yes, it has worked well for ALL children.<br /><br />I'm glad we have it and the child is safe!<br /><br />But, you just couldn't resist, could you?
