Our newspaper ran an article this morning, saying that there was no increase in stranger child abductions, that it is all media hype (like last summer's "Shark Attacks!). I thought you might be interested after yesterday's assaults on your posting.

I believe it. Violence against children (including rape and murder) has been declining for a decade. This is media sensationalism at its worst.

Media sensationalism? A child is abducted, raped, and brutally murdered and it's considered sensationalism?

How heartless. Maybe you can explain this to the parents of Samantha?

A box of rocks has more sense than to make such a statement. It's the "media sensationalism" that helps solve some of these cases.

This is similiar to the tripe you have posted before about this case. What do you know about missing kids? Have you ever searched for one? Or known people that have lost a child to one of these devoids? Explain to us why any parent that has had a child abducted would agree with you that getting information out as loudly and as soon as possible is "media sensationalism".

Why don't you do something else that seems to suit you better than posting here? Pick the wings off of flys or kick your dog. Something you likely enjoy.

There are benefits to publicizing high crimes and misdemeanors.. (aside from ratings and profit) Can you guess what they are?

...it is all media hype.

And God didn't make little green apples, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. There's no such thing as Dr. Suess, Disneyland or Mother Goose...no nursery rhymes.

According to the statistics.....if there isn't a child molester in your house.....there is one on your block. They were always there, but until now, they had to reign in their twisted sex drives. In the past...the whole community would descend on them and leave them a bloody pulp. Nowdays.....they get "counseling" and a few months in a prison with HBO. Time to turn back the clock!
