Missing boys and little white girls

Here in Milwaukee, the top story is that two boys, ages 10 and 12, have not been seen since Sunday. Family, friends, neighbors and concerned citizens are searching. I pray for their safe return.

A side issue is the fact that an Amber Alert was not issued. Local authorities have their reasons, but they don't sound credible to me. One searcher warned not to concentrate on that issue, because finding the boys is more important, but I wonder.

When a little white girl goes missing, an Amber Alert is issued immediately. And it should be.

I just hope that our young black boys (both were honors students, as if that should make a difference) are treated with the same concern.
