pay attention to this? Everyone knows that the media likes to only focus on White girls who go missing, and people have even made jokes about that, yet, the media still doesn't ever report on things like this. What would it take for the media to show things like this?
"According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), nearly 800,000 children under the age of 18 are reported missing each year in the United States. Of that number, 33 percent are African-American. Even more frighteningly, in 2008, half of reported missing children in New York City were black, 60 percent of missing black children were female, and most of the girls were between 13 and 15. With the rare exception of high-profile cases, such as Shaniya Davis' or the Rowan Towers incident, the unprecedented number of African-American girls who disappear from their classrooms, communities and churches, only to end up exploited in strip clubs, pornography websites or Craigslist ads remain uncounted. Invisible. Forgotten."
