A 4 year old girl was kidnapped in my area on July 4th, are her parents going to get to meet the pope? Why...?

do you think she isn't getting the same attention that Maddy from the UK is getting?

The media only focuses on cute kids/beautiful people in crime drama.

I find it more likely that a reporter would say "Boss! I need to go to Portugal to cover a kidnapping!" than they would "Boss! I need to go to Toledo to cover a kidnapping!"

Perhaps if the parents had moved to Hawaii just before it happened there would be more media interest.
