I quoted the above two statements for relevance to my post. It is not meant to single anyone out.
I know this has been relayed to folks several times but I just want to reiterate once again to hopefully shed an even brighter light on the situation.
LE and Crimestoppers have told the family that even though Brittney is classified as a missing person they will not provide any government allocated funds to her case for a REWARD because and I quote again, "There is no evidence of foul play"...
PLEASE READ THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH AGAIN... We ALL know that notion is totally inconceivable because this girl who has never lost contact with family or friends has been missing off the face of the earth for over a month!
There are one or two family members who search for her every day because they are the only people who are not working or taking care of small children.
It is absolutely NOT due to a lack of caring, concern or effort on their part. They are more desperate than ever for help. They are not wealthy, they do not have a disposable income to fund searches or set up a reward fund.
The family is doing a bucket drive to help raise money for a reward fund since
NOT ONE SINGLE FOUNDATION, GOVERNMENT AGENCY or WEALTHY PRIVATE DONOR will provide them with a single dime.
The public's interest in helping them has dried up. Nothing new being reported on the news, rampant gossip about BW just taking off to get high, the allegations against the uncles, "friends & extended family" moving on with their lives and ignoring the situation, people removing flyers just to be hateful or whatever their motive may be... pick your poison folks... the "reasons" are endless.
NONE of those "reasons" make it just or right.
THIS FAMILY NEEDS HELP AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT.
They are at the end of their rope. They are emotionally, physically & financially drained. They are not public relations experts, attorneys, law enforcement or any sort of expert with how to manage a missing person case.
I will also say again,
the family reads here. IMO, we should not be commenting or critiquing the perceived lack of effort from the sidelines.
I am certain that
reading negative sentiments must feel like a kick in the stomach when they are already on their knees.
Please... consider taking positive steps & measures to help this family. Even if we cannot contribute financially or physically... kind words of support are valuable to their emotional wellbeing.
I'm sorry if I have not written this in a gentile manner or if I have hurt anyone's feelings. That was not at all my intent. Please understand that I am simply trying to convey a very important message for your consideration.
Thanks y'all...
