Mustang, I *think* the point some are trying to make (and that I tried to make before) is that if the media is going to devote so much attention to this rich little white girl, why don't they give the same attention to other missing children cases. I know it's not feasible, but the safety of this girl is no more important than any of the others. Being from southern WI, you probably know who 7 year-old Alexis Patterson is. Her story got a decent amount of local attention, but didn't get any national coverage until people complained about the disparity between the amount of coverage of her case and Elizabeth's. Unfortunately, most missing children cases don't get anywhere near the attention of either of them.
