There's another little girl who needs our prayers.

Alexis Patterson of Milwaukee has been missing for 7 weeks.

Her story is here.

Thanks MozartLover. I have heard of this missing little girl. This is such a sick sad world when innocent children are taken from their homes or just walking along the street. I would urge all states to get the Rachael alert system. Here is just a bit of information about the Rachael alert system:

The Rachael Alert is part of the nation-wide "Amber plan", named for Amber Hagerman, a 9-year-old who was abducted and murdered in Texas in 1996.

Utah is the ninth state to establish such a program, along with a number of cities and counties.

The Rachael alert system is why there was such a rapid response to Elizabeth's kidnapping. I don't know what the reason is (totally) for such widespread coverage of Elizabeth's abduction, but I hope in the future, missing children get a better break.

No disrespect to the Smarts intended, but isn't it interesting how the rich, white girl gets all the media attention? Alexis is no less precious to her family and friends.
