Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
A reward for finding an assumed abducted child? Is this what society has become, we need to ply people with rewards to find a child?
Horrible, nightmare story, but I agree on the media debacle over it vs all the other abducted people around the world, all the people being killed round the world. I guess its a good diversion from Iraq and the like though...I mean we are all bored of hearing how many hundred people have been killed in marketplace x each day.
Sad thing about the media I suppose, that the only stories that are going to do well are the ones that can get people emotionally charged. I think this inequality of the value of one persons life to another can be summed up with the old 'a single death a tragedy, a million is a statistic'.
