The news here did a story about the poor little thing a week ago, I think. They said she wasn’t in a lake that they thought she was in. What the hell is wrong with people??? ---

I still don’t think they have any leads. ☹ ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** While I’m sure that this is a very worthwhile cause and I sympathize completely with those for whom this may be a personal tragedy, we are not gonna do this here. First, we’re not dedicating a slot on the front page of MPSIMS to a single missing child. Unless perhaps, the child is the offspring of one of our members. If we permit this one thread, then we’re bound to permit all such threads and as is readily apparent, we don’t have the resources to do that. Second, **Bosda** “causes” and such are supposed to be first run through the staff for approval. This one was not. Third, we’ve **never** permitted any thread to be continually “bumped” like this. And we’re not starting now. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-the-teeming-millions-little-girl-lost-help-find-this-kidnapped-child/213298.md?page=2)
