Very worth the read, IMO - http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20141109_A_village_found_Carlesha.html
From the get-go, this case defied every negative stereotype we have about the complacency of our citizens, the disinterest of the police department, the cynicism of the media.
Maybe - to quote an old saying - Philadelphia isn't as bad as Philadelphians say it is.
Freeland-Gaither's abduction isn't the only recent, high-profile case in which police, working closely with willing members of the public and aided by the media, arrested monsters who needed taking off the street.
"Hell, no," went the refrain that brought in so many tips to police. "Not here. Not on our watch."
