Milwaukee boys vanish while playing.....bet this story won't be 24/7
headlines and topics on the "news" programs........

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- Police officers went door to door Tuesday looking for two boys last seen playing outside Sunday, police said.

Officers also used dogs and thermo-imaging equipment to look for 12-year-old Quadrevion Henning and 11-year-old Purvis Parker, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said.

The department frequently gets reports of missing children, but they typically have a history of running away and turn up quickly, she said. The two boys do not have a history of running away.

Family members held a news conference late Tuesday afternoon, asking that anyone who might be holding the children or with any knowledge of what happened to them to contact authorities.

3. Someone should send this story to Rita the Screecher.
But you're right -- unless they're blond, female, and lost in some exotic place, she doesn't give a rat's butt.

5. Have they searched the cars in the neighborhood?
When two boys disappeared in New Jersey, they were found suffocated in the trunk of a car they decided to hide in.

6. One way to get this the attention needed
would be to add a salacious tie-in to a Democratic politician - no matter how trivial. Joe-Blow City Alderman had an affair with one of the boys' aunt's best friend, say. Bill O'Lielly would be all over it 24-7 as would the rest of MSM.

10. I'm sure they won't be on 24/7
Problem is, Natalee and Runaway Brides should not be on 24/7 either.

The news is not Missing People Network. I get tired of hours long court room coverage crap on the News also. That's what Court TV is for.

To me it's just crap they can fixate on and ignore other news that Americans SHOULD BE informed about.

14. Amber Alerts are very specifically targeted at abducted children
not just missing children.

If there was any evidence to suggest abduction and there was a suspect, they'd have an Amber Alert out on these two boys and their abductor. Right now, it's just two missing boys with no other information.

13. Something similar to this happened about a year or so ago
some boys had disappeared almost in front of one of the Mothers; and they had searched nearly every place they could think of, and after it was too late, someone had the presence of mind to open the trunk lid of a car setting nearby, and the boys had gotten into it, and suffocated. It's just sickening to think this might have happened again. Sure do hope they look in all the cars nearby if they haven't already.
:scared: :cry:
