Mail Call: Home At Long Last

I cannot help but notice that in your sidebar "The Abductions That Changed America," all the victims are white. Children of all races are kidnapped each year. Why don't children with darker skin get the same media coverage and national attention? Is it because their families don't have the resources to organize foundations or retain high-powered attorneys? Or is it because as a nation we value their little lives less than their white counterparts'? Families and communities who lose children feel the same pain and grief regardless of racial or economic status.
