Missing-children cases fumbled by police nationwide
By THOMAS HARGROVE
Scripps Howard News Service
May 10, 2005
- Fifteen-year-old Bryona Williams had been missing for four days before the Detroit Police Department reported her disappearance to state and federal authorities. Her half-naked, raped, strangled and decomposing body was found two weeks later, face-down on the floor of an abandoned inner-city building.
As with thousands of other missing-children cases nationwide, police mishandled Bryona's disappearance two years ago by failing to immediately report her to the FBI's National Crime Information Center, as required by federal law.
A first-of-its-kind study of computer files at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children conducted by Scripps Howard News Service has found that dozens of police departments across the nation failed to report at least 4,498 runaway, lost and abducted children in apparent violation of the National Child Search Assistance Act passed by Congress in 1990.
Seventeen of these unreported children are dead, 131 are still missing.

The issue of child sex slave rings goes largely unreported in our mainstream media. It pops up from time to time (like the Franklin case), but only rarely. I ran across this study done by the Scripps Howard News Service and couldn't help but wonder.. are these children who are being misreported on or not even reported missing at all victims of this sickening and abhorent activity?

You bring up good points about the Peterson case. To me, he was convicted because of his character, not because of definitive proof.
I've always thought there were things we weren't being told about the Elizabeth Smart and Jon Benet Ramsey cases, the latter being a prime example of a pedophile ring crime
There is an excellent thread about missing children in the "Website Related Discussion" forum you should check out. Its quite long, but there is a ton of excellent information.

It's nice to know I'm not the only person in this country who feels that way.

Hey ECK
Youdefinatly are not the only one who feels this way. He was conicted because he was a scumbag cheater, NOT because the jury thought he was a murderer.

Its incredible how many children goes missing every day, to never been seen again.
Very sad, when you have to realized that we have a dark side in our own soil and most of us tried to ignore as long as it doesn't affect our own children or families.
