I am extremely angry over this, as you can tell. This happened in my state, and we in the media did what we could when we could, but after 2 days, it was pointless. She was likely dead within 24 hours, statistically, and the killer was laughing at LE for issuing an AA a day or two after he already killed her, I'll just bet. I am just furious!!! :furious: :furious: :furious:WasBlind said:May I print this first sentence on a T-shirt? I'm truly tempted.
Amber Alert did not fail this child, but in my opinion LE did.
They also failed her family, imo, by not issuing the AA immediately.
TEN year olds don't just disappear.
The parents know their child better than anyone.
If you must question the parents, do it, but please do NOT delay the search.
Immediate alerts and SAR is what brings them home safely. I cannot express that enough. The first few minutes and hours (probably three) are the most crucial in an abduction.
Search and Rescue teams cannot do their work if LE doesn't notify them of missing children and adults.
There is something each of you can do to help with this problem. Please write your local LE agency about how important it is to work with other people to get our missing, lost and abducted home ALIVE. I'll be happy to send you the information to include in your letter.
The only way we are going to save more lives is if we have a combined effort.
The community has to unite to find our missing loved ones.
If anyone has any questions about things you can do to raise awareness, pls. e-mail me at HelpForTheMissing@yahoo.com
With prayers of HOPE for the future, Lanie
PS: You're right about the 3 hour period being essential. They don't wait very long, for obvious reasons. And a t-shirt might be a good idea to remind LE of their responsibilities for an immediate search. One day MAYBE I could somehow understand, but two days is indefensible.
