Human trafficking is real y’all. I pray she is alive, if not, I hope whoever had something to do with her disappearance is brought to justice!
@Richard Lawrence , yes the goal of these pale face devil's is our extermination, facts. To many of our people are to docile to Organize on a professional level with a Urban Defense Force. Which consists of Dedicated black Attorneys on Constitutional law. And Former X Military Intelligence black men and black women. Our people have No back bone to Combat these pale face devil's. We are a lost people mentally.
@ Sammual Toomer, yes human trafficking is very real. Organ harvesting is on the black market. And our people are on the menu.
Yep like the movie hostel elite torturing blk people for sport
Bro but she was a minor 16 YEARS OLD when she went missing she definitely should have had a missing person case
Wow !! I cannot imagine 10 years not see you baby girl!!!!
Angel Daniel 😢

Kenji Stanback 💯
Frank Strange bruh Michael Jackson

A kid that doesn't go to school police come to the house, but if it seems like a kid ran away then the police dont care.🤔
Because schools make money off of every missing student. Since she wasn't in school, she is no loss to the police and schools.
He said “that’s on them” so if they leave with someone they trust and end up being kidnapped, “that’s on them” ? Smh!
Lien T. Yea that’ was terrible 🤦🏽♂️✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Lien T. Cops are not so smart that’s why they always make fun of them in comedy movies like scary movie
Yeah, he’s a piece of shit
Wtf?! If I go out on a date and get kidnapped then that’s on me?! So people no more meeting and hanging out with others because if you come up missing it’s on you. 🤨
I thought damn did he just say that bs? fat funky slouch ass house nigga

🙏

Tracy Ippolito yes please these families deserve to see there kids 🙏🏾🙏🏾
In who's sane mind does a minor running away mean don't look for them
She left with someone she trusted... but they may have killed her or kidnapped her. This is so sad....
Danielle Taylor exactly
Its possible
Why is the world so cold
40 Future the world 🌎 have nothing to do with this topic it’s us mankind who is very disrespectful to each other
Roxwayne Dunkley it’s just an expression. Of course the world doesn’t have nothing to do with this. It’s the people living in this world that make the world a cold place to live.
Only God Knows.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@roxwaynedunkley8566 the people living in this world is what makes the world a cold place.
materialism.
I feel so bad for her
"young black girl" has a name smh.They won't care about our children until we all start caring about all of our children.
RIGHT!
Lies.....
I’m crying on behalf of the families missing their precious loved ones.
Yes honey me too🙏🙏😥😢
big swift100 yes 💔
Yes me too☹️😢
We need to find her !!! Why isn’t this on every news station !!
Black
This is honestly sad.
Hope she’s found soon
XJULIZZA X sad story
GermanandChocolate yes
Im glad to see this coverage of minority missing persons. Hopefully these families can achieve some resolution in their cases shortly. Im so sorry for your losses. I hope coverage of cases like these increases sooner rather than later.
Really good, you are really good, hope for it
Lol
same
Agreed! I'm white and conservative and think this imbalance is unfair.
The dissapearance of Gabby Petito got an enormous media attention. Something that got me curious as to why this white woman got this much attention, which got me here.
It's by design dumb ass lol, they do this to make you salty over white people and further the divide.
I hope she is found so her mom can get closure.
Please detectives, these missing persons r ALSO HUMANS. I HOPE THEY R FOUND SOON.
I hope they all come home some day soon. So hard to watch
800,000 go missing each year? How is that even possible?
Exactly!
The young black girl , lawd have mercy.
Well that's what she is , isnt she ?
@Saving Us The media don't say the young white girl.
Chrissy G NEVER
@@RenzaBossDaddy 😒
Wow. There's not always a struggle. Narcissistic and manipulators exist! This is why education qualifications for police departments should be higher than HIGH SCHOOL.
It is
idgaf if you think they are a "runaway" if they are minor treat it like they were kidnapped PERIOD!
Heartbreaking. I hope she gets the answers shes so desperately searching for. My heart goes out to her. Ugh. 💔
That police chief is a sellout who cares more about his career and position than helping his own community.

Not trying to be a barrel of doom but if she has been gone for 10yrs 9 times out of 10 she is more and likely dead unless she was kidnapped and or both. I do hope this grieving mother finds a solution or a miracle her daughter comes back.
Right. She could've been sex trafficked. And probably still held hostage till this day.
Well this was an unnecessary comment
@@ellaandersson4443 if it was so unnecessary why are you commenting on a comment I posted a year ago.
The reporter should've questioned that cop about his "that's on them" comment. I would've made him feel like crap after that interview was done.
Me too
Shame on police in Berkeley, St. Louis, Missouri...
"that's on them"? What TF is wrong with this country
I believe she's still alive. don't give up mama she's out there. god will bring her home
This makes me mad 😡 I will be talking about this on my TH-cam channel
11 people with him, someone's lying...
I want to find them their child and joy but I cant... 😭😭😭
I feel you 💓
I hope they found this beautiful people and children's and young girls!!!!!!
Wow it’s been 11 years since she went missing
fazli sulaimi 🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻
Unfortunately most missing people are dead. I do hope she finds closure though.
You worthless piece of human being.
African Man Hes worthless for being realistic? The girl is most likely dead but hopefully isnt.
African Man ARENT YOU BEING A BIT HARSH? ITS TRUE
African Man just how life is man
@@africanman1152 lollll
They selling organs
This so so sad. 😢 I pray each one of the missing are found safe! I couldn't live without my daughter😭😭
Why aren’t these children looked for ? This an injustice. I have an big issue with this bc they’re some bodies child. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️
Sadness must be an understatement. I’m only one person, but I’m praying for peace until all are reunited with their child. Thoughts PrayersOOO
We need our own websites,we need our own culture organizations
My heart goes out to u all 💔🙏🏾NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
My heart breaks when her mom talk about her beautiful teenager girl !!
Omg I jus couldn't imagine if my loved 1 was 2 go missing to neva return! Da not knowing has 2 b mayb more hurtful than da knowing if they went home 2 glory! I'm so happy & thankful of every1 who r covering these cases on their own!!! Cudos guys!
....hopefully they get closure soon
I can’t even imagine ! Can’t even get the closure she needs . Praying for the Mom The police failed this mom .
This is soo heartbreaking 😔💔 I pray for closure for these families and help finding their loved one. Black ppl matter too! This is not right! The Caucasian ppl are more likely to runaway than black. I don’t understand this! The media should be ashamed and these useless police departments.
This is some BULLS**T it shouldn't matter what the color of the missing is, yellow, black, red ,white. If they are missing, look for them. Everyone matters. I'm so sorry to the families of the missing. As a mother, my heart is breaking for all the parents out there looking for their children.
Aww, that’s sad...
Wow I can't even say I feel there pain, that's gotta be a whole other level of pain farealZ.. God bring there families justice please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
This broke my heart...
So heartbreaking. I pray for these families & hope they find there loved ones.
This is so heart breaking 💔 I pray for these families. This is so unfair.
The use of words in this video is annoying
This honestly broke me. I think it's odd the calvary is called for cases like Gabby Petito (FBI included). When checking the comments people blame the news outlets but don't want to take accountability either. The viewers/audience also tend to be very much bias. We all need to reflect & look at what is within our own hearts as well. I pray peace comes to the families of the missing.
I pray they find their children, I will keep these families in my prayers🙏🏿🙏🏿I
I pray they all get answers and they find their children
It doesn't matter the race, religion, or anything except that they are children. They need to come home. May the Good Lord in Heaven allow these children to come home.
They didn't put Asha Degree that been missing for 20 years ago. I pray that they will all be safe with their families.
Lord Have Mercy!!! My prayers are with all the families.🙏
To Police: When a person leaves without struggle...there’s a possibility they left with someone they knew and that someone could have killed them or sold them to traffickers...I’m sooo sorry for these families...😢
Wish more people would see this..
Missing white women syndrome, look at what's going on with the Gabby thing.
It's by design dumb ass lol, they do this to make you salty over white people and further the divide.
she probably met someone on a chat line. smh
It is sad when things like this happen. (Note to all who play around with strangers online). But this was in 2008, so did she have a smartphone, was she in social media? Who had she been talking to prior? Seems she knew the person(s) she may have left with.
Don't do this to your family and friends!
Gracias saludos , bendiciónes!!
Who would dislike this?! Heartless @-holes!!
Too bad it took a national spotlight case like Gabby Petito to lead me to this video, which is now 2 years old. These people are important too.
God bless them!
I can see & feel their hurt & pain.
They are not doing a good job, there are 33 girls missing from Berkeley. Berkeley is a neighbor in st.louis, right next door to Ferguson.
Any updates?
Jesus, bring those children home safe!
Praying for all the families that have a missing child. May the Lord provide comfort, strength and patience. (And most importantly May he bring them home)... Its ridiculous our kids dont get the coverage they deserve. We need to CONTINUE to support voices like Roland Martin and others...
This is so upsetting.
Be vigilant fam, let us protect and love one another.
Art Jackson sounds like a fool. A 16 year old is a child. She wasn't an adult. She cannot voluntarily go missing.
She snuck out the house to meet some boy or man and she thought he was cool and his intentions were not good. He probably walking around right now and they could be looking him in his face everyday and not know he was the one who did it
Praying 🙏🙏 🙏
Thisvis aggravating. Police in general seem to not care or blow off a missing teen which is awful enough as they are young and may not have thought their actions through even if they ran away. This takes the cake though. Hope changes will happen soon. No missing person should be ignored.
It should not matter if they think a 15- or 16-year ran away. They can't make that decision to live on their own.
I turned 3 the day she went missing..
Wooow
so sad
Over half! Unbelievable
I definitely get their sentiment of being upset. Maybe all news channels/programs should devote 3- 5 minutes in their broadcast to just local missing persons in their area. That would help alot
That's sad 😔😔😔
Jacob’s Wetterling family had to wait 27 years for the truth regarding Jacob’s disappearance. Justice delayed is not justice denied.
Hey. I just listened to a Podcast called In The Dark. They investigated his story in full detail. It was heartbreaking.
Wow 🤦🏽♂️
Beautiful people
Here is the problem, society has a way of saying oh they are adolescents they ran away. When you are under the age of 18 years of age you do not have the right to just wander off and walk away from home. In the real world, a predator will always easily prey upon a child. I understand having the freedom to wander or leave without telling anyone as an adult, but too often when the parents and family state it is out of character for that person or adult to act in such fashion; for some reason, it is hardly heard by the authorities.
If they are not home and they are under the age of 18, then that means they are endangered and should be treated as such regardless if there was a sign of struggle. Too often I hear officials use that excuse but the truth is that if you are a parent you are responsible for that child until they turn 18. So if they are not home the assumption should always be they are endangered. Any police department, Federal government agency that decides not to investigate a minor missing shouldn't be employed in that profession as mandated reporters/investigators of children in danger and it is apparent to me it is being reported as child/adult in danger.
🙏🙏🙏🙏prayers for that family!!!!
may God help u and bring ur doughter safe home...very hard to think always this for you
That's Sad 🖤💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
How many of these missing children are actually found dead or alive ?
It's so sad, Really.
You wouldn’t say “young white girl” if she was white would you?
Right! That was really weird
LOOK AT ALL YOUR CORPORATIONS AND POLITICIANS!!! They are the ones moving kids :)
It just humiliate for law enforcement to tell you directly in your face that's your child do not mean anything just because they are black. What's is a shame like the woman in the video said when my child disappeared I did not get the media cover as this white woman and white child received. So therefore you know the law enforcement it's not looking for missing black kids they don't care if they missing it just one less black person they have to deal with.
