Is this really a tragedy? Maybe. Is this a newsworthy trend? As the mother of two sons and one daughter, this is the worst possible tragedy I could ever imagine! My oldest is 21 but when he was in 3rd grade he was missing for a few hours and I still remember the horror! We lived in LA at the time, too. When I found him I was SO HAPPY!!!! I can close my eyes and remember the whole incident in detail, every parents' worst nightmare!

Is an abducted child a tragedy? Yes!

Is the story the news is reporting a tragedy? Well, this one seems to be, but my point was let's not get hysterical and jump to conclusions based on sensational reporting. That's all. If I were in the neighborhood, I would be looking for the child, not admonishing everyone to wait and see if she comes back on her own. But I wouldn't be mourning her yet and I wouldn't be weeping uncontrollably or telling tales of strange, shadowy men and advocating the arrest of every suspicious passer-by to TV reporters either.
