I saw the episode where the white girl and black boy went missing at the same time, but all the attention was focused on the white girl. Do you think this seems to reflect real life?

More often than not I'm suspecting it does. I can't back that up with any data but it certainly seems likely. Unless for every three white children that go missing absolutely NO ethnic children do, of course - which the media would suggest to be the case.

Children go missing every day, unfortunately, and I wish that the media would focus on all children, not just certain ones.

If only we lived in a society where people didn't kidnap, or children didn't vanish, we'd all be a LOT better off.
