I was wondering when you would resort to sophomoric name-calling.

If you had read my post instead of reading into it what you wanted so as to begin your tirade of insults, you would have realized I was wondering HOW he could have done all of this without being seen. I did not, nor have I EVER posted that DW is not the perp. I did not, nor have I EVER posted DW acted in concert with others. I did not, nor have I EVER posted he could not or did not whisk the little girl away unseen, or that he carried her over a fence. You may have read that from other posters, but you DID NOT find it in any of mine. I merely wondered and questioned how he could have done this undetected. Your idea of responding is to resort to typical churlish insults and sarcasm.

I see five houses clearly on that shot, I see no street lights on a sizeable chunk of sidewalk

And DW lives across the street, out of the picture. Not directly across the street fromteh VanDams. If I am not mistaken, the alleged perpetrator lives on the same street, but on the other side of the intersection, which is indicated on the photo displayed above. As I live in a suburb not unlike that of the VD's, I can be fairly sure there is some type of street-light near that intersection. But, we cannot discuss the light, as it is not in the picture.

Non-Family Abductions*

Broad Scope
Attempted Non-Family Abductions: 114,600 children.
These represent attempted abductions: for example, luring of a child for the purposes of committing another cnme.
Policy Focal
Non-Family Abductions: 3,200 to 4,600 children.
These are ( 1) the coerced and unauthorized taking of a child into a building, a vehicle, or a distance of more than 20 feet; (2) the detention of a child for a period of more than an hour; or (3) the luring of a child for the purpose of committing another crime.
Findings.
Broad Scope: Children aged 4 to 11 experienced most of the attempts. Most involved attempts to lure children into cars rather than attempts to take or detain.
Political Focal:
Almost half of the victims were children age 12 and older. Seventy-four percent were girls. Sixty-two percent of the perpetrators were strangers and 19% were acquaintances. Most were removed from the street (52%) and taken to a vehicle (46%). Force was used against 87% of the victims; it involved a weapon in 75% of the cases. Ransom was requested in 8% of the cases.

*the smallest category, but the one in which the child is at greatest risk of injury or death, “nonfamily abductions.”

Q: How many missing children are there?

A: According to the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice and released in 1990, the yearly estimates of each type of “missing child” are
Family Abductions - 354,100
Nonfamily Abductions - 3,200 to 4,600
Attempted Nonfamily Abductions - 114,600
Runaways - 450,700
Thrownaways - 127,100
Lost, Injured, or Otherwise Missing - 438,200
Please note researchers caution that these individual categories may not be summed for a total figure for all missing children.

Q: How many missing children are found deceased? What hours are most critical when trying to locate a missing child?

A: According to the State of Washington’s Office of the Attorney General“the murder of a child who is abducted ... is a rare event. There are estimated to be about 100 such incidents in the United States each year, less than one-half of one percent of the murders committed”; however, “74 percent of abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction.”

I picked up a few other bits from the the statistics and reports section of Missing Kids>

It's not a new thing, it has happened many times in many places. I believe it is increasing due to the ease of obtaining very hard core child pornography over the internet, inflaming an idle fancy or curiosity into fixation and obsession.

The pedophilic culture has observed the success of militant Gay Liberation. Even now they are putting forth "studies" showing that "intergenerational sex" is not harmful. They too, agitate for declaring pedophilia a lifestyle, not a mental illness.

Why, if we would just accept and tolerate their "choices" and give them our children as "love partners", they wouldn't have to resort to "crimes of passion".

Don't you see - They LOVE children! /sarcasm>
