Deidra Robey over at the Black & Missing but Not Forgotten blog writes about African American women and children who are abducted and endagered but don’t get the same scale of media coverage as white youngsters who go missing. She writes in detail about the disparities in coverage in these unfortunate situations.

I asked Deidra to give some background on the Amber Alert process for kids and she sent this link from the U.S. Department of Justice. Paste it into your favorite links and remain informed. More importantly take a look at Black and Missing but Not Forgotten from time to time and stay apprised. And if you see the culprits in any of these cases please inform local law enforcement as soon as possible.
