• Is this a sign of healthy functioning society?

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 1 15:50:01 2023
    "Cleveland police recorded 27 juveniles under the age of 18 were reported missing between May 2 and May 16."

    and to make matters worse,

    "Scrolling through Cleveland's missing persons page, there are more blank squares with the words, "Photo not available," than there are pictures of the missing person. "

    WTF is going on in America? How broken has the American family become?

    And to the sick fucks who talk of tearing down the nuclear family....please explain what is going to be a better replacement?

    The Cleveland Police said they greatly depend upon citizens responding to missing children photographs to provide tips to find these kids.

    How many were found and how many are still missing?
    You don't seem to care.

    Sounds like a Cleveland Police problem, not a functioning society problem.

    Because I don't post a running count of missing children in Cleveland, Ohio?

    If you cared, you'd have seen this:

    Your lack of concern for the well being of children is well known around these parts,

    1 Relegating them to failed public school education with no opportubity for private school vouchers.

    2 The killing field of abortion

    3 Presenting adult sexually oriented fetishes to schoolchildren

    4 Disregard for missing children

    When the Police have problems, society has problems.
    If our society was perfect....we wouldn't need policing.

    Doesn't answer the question and actually supports my concern.

    "“The epidemic of missing children in our country needs a spotlight. It needs our focus. We hope operations like this sharpen that focus. Every child deserves a safe environment to grow up in, and we are dedicated to helping provide that for the
    children and families in northern Ohio.”

    It's great they found 35. It's not great that the children targeted in the operation were, "Authorities believed the children were in danger, and most were faced with physical and sexual abuse, neglect, substance abuse or human trafficking."
    How many from this much larger area than just Cleveland are missing with little to no effort to locate because they aren't "believed in danger" for simple lack of information?

    I will repeat from your cite, "The epidemic of missing children in our country".

    Is an epidemic of missing children a sign of a healthy functioning society? You'd have to be a really sick uncaring POS to think so.

    Your lack of concern for the well being of children is well known around these parts,

    "These parts" being "your head."

    1 Relegating them to failed public school education with no opportubity for private school vouchers.

    So glad you mentioned that. One of the your most convincing arguments
    about Baltimore city schools was that they were poorly performing
    despite being adequately funded. Unfortunately for your view, that's not
    all there is to the story, no matter what Sinclair Broadcasting would
    have you believe:

    https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/bs-ed-op-0312-project-baltimore-context-20230309-iux6httmn5c2vdhdh2wmokugxm-story.html

    Baltimore City schools have a high cost per student, on par with other metropolitan areas such as New York City. However, this money isn’t
    equally distributed to schools in the system, and, unlike in New York, a significant portion (34%) of the budget goes to caring for homeless or economically disadvantaged youth through an allotment called the
    compensatory budget. If we break this funding down at the school level,
    the $21,606 per student figure that Fox45 relies on tells a different
    story. To get its number, Fox takes the school system’s entire $1.6
    billion budget and divides by the total number of students in the city
    system. The amount actually spent per student is much lower...

    Not only are the Baltimore City Schools underfunded by thousands of
    dollars, but over a third of the money goes to survival services for
    students. This expenditure is missing or minimal in the budgets of the
    high performing schools, meaning more money can be spent on Advanced
    Placement, International Baccalaureate or other specialized programs.

    End quote.

    When the Police have problems, society has problems. If our society
    was perfect....we wouldn't need policing.

    Taking a look at the website, many of the listing missing photos were
    recent, only a few days old. Maybe too soon to assume there will be no
    photos ever?

    And society isn't on the verge of collapse.

    How many were found and how many are still missing? You don't
    seem to care.

    Doesn't answer the question and actually supports my concern.

    It's a functional national response to the problem of missing children
    in Ohio.

    "“The epidemic of missing children in our country needs a spotlight.
    It needs our focus. We hope operations like this sharpen that focus.
    Every child deserves a safe environment to grow up in, and we are
    dedicated to helping provide that for the children and families in
    northern Ohio.”

    A sudden spike in the number of missing children would be a new thing,
    so the usual methods may have overwhelmed the Cleveland police system temporarily. Bad, but not a harbinger of doom for society.

    It's great they found 35. It's not great that the children targeted
    in the operation were, "Authorities believed the children were in
    danger, and most were faced with physical and sexual abuse, neglect, substance abuse or human trafficking." How many from this much larger
    area than just Cleveland are missing with little to no effort to
    locate because they aren't "believed in danger" for simple lack of information?

    I will repeat from your cite, "The epidemic of missing children in
    our country".

    Sounds alarming. Is this a new thing? An increasing problem?

    Is an epidemic of missing children a sign of a healthy functioning
    society? You'd have to be a really sick uncaring POS to think so.

    And a you'd have to be an alarmist to think society will fall because a
    website is missing a few photos for new listings.
