Etan Patz, first missing child to appear on a milk carton
Does everyone remember the missing kids on milk cartons during the 80′s? It looks like the very first missing child on a milk carton is still missing after 30 years. It looks like the authorities are relatively certain they know who was involved with his disappearance, but the family has yet to find closure.
This was back in the 80′s before parents had general awareness of people kidnapping children. Before that time, parents were a bit more liberal and less worried about kids. I posted last week about a child educator who believes parents don’t let their kids grow up because they live in fear. I still agree with her, although I think we are living in a different age. If you raise your kids in a small village where everyone knows everyone else, life tends to be safer. In a city where people drive cars, congregate through the internet, and lead mostly anonymous existences, there is bound to be a bit more danger. I think it’s good for a nine or ten year old to be independent, but these days, six years old is still very much a child.
Anyway, I hope the family finds answers.
