BZZZzzttt! Wrong... this one is actually legitimate.

Tragic as it is, and I do feel for the parents but kids get abducted all
the
time and how many of their parents get lent a private jet to go visit the
Pope - having said that I don't mind offering helpful (if obvious)
advice.

If the OP really wanted to do something useful, they would upload the
pictures to all the binaries they could think of and try to persuade
anyone
who opens the thread to propagate the pictures to any binaries they can
think of, the first reply after mine demonstrates the level of reluctance
to
open potentially suspicious websites so the effective publicity from a
website is much less than covering the binaries.


With the number of missing children world wide, this would soon
render the already ailing USENET completely useless. Europe needs to do
what this group has for the USA: http://www.codeamber.org

It ties the internet, news media and law enforcement's efforts
together, into a single effort to find the child. The more fragmented
the search, the lower the chances are that they will be found alive.

That a look at the home page of my website to see how it works.
There is a live banner at the bottom of the page that lets you know
about active alerts, and by clicking on any of them it will take you to
more information at their website.

That's a great suggestion - it wouldn't be a bad idea to publicise it
anywhere you can think of.

The current publicity surrounding this case could be the catalyst for
creating something similar across Europe.

It would have a lot more impact if suggested by someone in Europe,
not the US. A lot of groups already have a bad case of NIH, and its
even worse when it comes from a foreign country. Some large newspaper
or news organization should start it, and sell logo only ads to
corporate sponsors. I would think that if the contact the
http://www.codeamber.org people they would help them with the initial
setup. They already have a working system, why not share it, or license
it to others? If you hear them yaking about it on some news program and
they ask for comments, ask them why they don't at least have something
like what the US has had for years? That ought to stir them up. :-)
