Oh my God; what the hell is going on? Are more of these happening or is the news just now reporting on all of them?

I think it's the reporting of it. Many were outraged at the huge differences in SD about the way Danielle was handled and the way Jahi Turner was handled. Even the difference in the 2 girls in Oregon vs Elizabeth Smart.

Locally there is rumbling about the attention given to the sweet little blonde girls, while Laura Ayala's abduction on 3/10 generated no national media attention. It is belived that Laura was transported to Reynosa Mexico with in days of her abduction. National media attention might have prevented that.

Stations also figured out that it pumps their ratings. Sorry, I know that sounds cold, but look at Nancy Grace.
