Missing African American Girls in Washington D.C. Are They Connected?

Whether it's an increase or not, the number of girls currently missing is unacceptable. And if it's always been like this, then we have a colossal problem on our hands.

Tricia I had similar feelings about the LA missing young ladies. People where really quick to assume that they where all related. In this day and age, we hear about these mp cases in lightning fast speed. So I can totally see why people tend to think cases are related when in reality they probably aren't. Back in the day there may have been just as many mp cases but since SM wasn't around yet, we only heard about the small fraction that national news would report on. Most mp cases are resolved within a few days and most tend to be misunderstandings or runaways but when we see that six girls all went missing within a 200 mile radius, our minds instantly assume that they are connected when in fact most of those cases will be quietly resolved shortly after being reported missing.
But I do agree that each case should be looked into regardless, even if the girls may have left on their own will.
I'd be glad to look into one later tonight when I get off of work

So glad to see a thread created about this...

Here are some MSM articles. I apologize in advance if any of these are not WS verified outlets.

Hopefully DC will get better now that we have a leader who believes in law and order.

At this point in time, there have been no MSM articles indicating these girls have been found. Until then, we must assume they are still missing and in danger.

Let's bring these girls home safely:heartbeat:

Someone who lives in D.C. might be better able to address the issue.

IMO, this goes WAY beyond being a local issue.

Oh, I agree, and one of the problems is certain people get much more attention than others. We see the same sort of problem with sex workers and kids who are mislabeled runaways.
