How is it that we have 2 active amber alerts right now in the country, one is a multi-state and there is no coverage on the cnn.com website front page, why is the main stream media not using the alerts? Just curious how Doonsbury or a Firefighter getting fired is over those two 8 year olds?

The FBI tracks more than 100,000 active files on missing adults and children, but only a few of those cases ever make it to the national limelight and become household names.
The ones that do seem to share several qualities: the victims tend to be white, young, attractive and often middle- or upper-class females.

Friday, July 22, 2005
What could have been a very long and dangerous trip for three kids out of East Texas is now over after a traffic stop in Wichita Falls. It started in Upshur County around 4am this morning when the grandfather of three kids came home to notice they were gone. He and his wife have custody of their daughter`s kids, possibly because she is living with a registered sex offender. Her name is Tuwana Petty and his name is Bradley Shipley. He is a registered sex offender because of a 1999 conviction for Indecency with a Child Sexual Contact, with a 5-year-old boy. More………………..
2 Amber alerts in 2 days end safely. Progress can be made.
Around 3:00 pm, 12 hours after CART was activated, an anonymous Crimestoppers call gave the team the tip they needed.
“Anytime we have a substantial case like this, in an area like this, we’re always willing to offer a reward,” said Emerson.
While Emerson is pleased with Thursday’s end result, he sees room for improvement, specifically the way the team canvasses neighborhoods.
“We’re far from perfect. We learn each time how we can do this better,” said Emerson.
Sabrina Cobb is charged with interference with child custody, a third degree felony. For now, the baby is going to be placed into the Department of Children and Families’ care.
Jessie is 8 days old and his grandmother has custody, reading about the father, one would assume the mother is unfit as well. They have abducted little Jessie, who from details must have been premature. Please be on the look out in FLORIDA for this child.
