    The way to help with this is to follow local and state police and new organizations as well as the national center for missing and exploited children (they also have a place for adults). And share any time someone is missing no matter how small your group on social media is

    You also have to be straight. Look into the Moab murders.

    Oh ffs, there are many missing white women that get no coverage. This story just caught the public’s attention. If it has the public’s attention then the media’s gonna run with it. Simple as that.

    We know a girl named Lashaya Stien who went missing in Denver Colorado when she was 16 years old. The police at first didn’t want to really do much and then they finally came through. There really wasn’t a whole lot of media coverage in the first place. She is still missing it has been since 2016. I honestly feel for her family. I hope that she is found. I am on her page help find Lashaya. If anyone has information that could possibly help.

    When you know your media is either left or right, you know it is no longer about journalism, but political division & programming.

    Cuz they white, you know white america thinks whites are more important than blacks that’s why white women get more media coverage. Racial injustice at its best . Yet black women go missing they don’t even get a shot out in the radio.

    Let’s be rational here.
    You don’t go on vacation with someone, then come home alone early to your parents house where you were staying with said missing person and *nobody* questions it.

    I also notice white ppl are also more likely to galvanize ppl to go searching, have funds for a bigger reward. Natalie Hallways fam was able to get a private jet to Aruba to find their daughter and devote time to speak to the media. Lower income wouldn’t even be able to take off work to find there children. It’s white privilege, pretty privilege and wealth privilege as well. They don’t really devote time to ppl who are deemed undesirable.

    This reminds me of the missed point in the Black Lives Matter movement.
    Saying “black lives matter” in no way means whites’ don’t, so saying “all lives matter” instead of “black lives matter” misses the whole point.
    Being in an uproar about Gabby in no way takes away from the importance of black children and women (or men) who are missing. So using Gabby’s tragedy to bring up the bias in media coverage is wrong and minimizes Gabby’s tragedy.
    It’s just gross to see her coverage used as a tool to discuss the missing black children/women in media issue.
    In other words, saying “Gabby’s life matters” in no way means black women’s don’t.
    So if that needs to be addressed (and it does) then discuss it. But don’t use Gabby’s situation as a springboard.
