a moment of seriousness..

I designed this blog to be funny and light hearted, but I feel the need to talk about something, most people try to brush off. I just learned about this beautiful little girl http://news.yahoo.com/search-missing-ga-girl-turns-body-trash-231600387.html

7 years old, went missing in Ga and is suspected to be murdered, if indeed it is her body found in the dumpster near her home, beaten and sexually assaulted. Obviously the whole thing breaks my heart and infuriates me but further more, I want to know:

Why wasn't this beautiful girls face on my news, morning, noon and night? Where were the lines of news trucks, search parties and command center? even more sad, where was the Amber lert? This absolutely KILLS me.

My husband and I were part of a search and rescue team put together for the hunt for missing 7 year old Somer Thompson in Jacksonville FL, she was also later recovered in landfill. The morning we searched for her, it looked like a tail gating party, there was a FLOOD of campers, news trucks, police officers even the military had atleast 300 sailors out there on military time.

At the time, Somer Thompsons dissapearance was a mystery, she did not come home from school, ran ahead of some other kids on the walk home and was never seen alive again. However there was an Amber Alert issued for her as well as tons of other resources used, even equisearch was there! ( a group of guys from texas who search for lost kids on horseback)

Where were these resources for this little girl? I hate to bring this up, but I see this all the time. This baby was obviously hispanic of sorts, and she did NOT receive the same attention as caucasion somer thompson. I am white, obviously, however my kids are mixed, and the thought that other races are not appearing to be as high priority, really makes me mad!! every child out there deserves the same attention and dedication to their case should the need arise. I hope that with voices like mine and many others, we can join together, speak out and demand that every child and family be treated fairly and compassionately...

RED, YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE, THEY ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT, JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD.. and we should too.
