As Predicted

  • Update: A 12-year-old West Side boy who has been missing since Friday morning has been located safely and has been reunited with his family, police said this evening.

    According to police, Kimani Alexander stayed at a friend's home Friday evening.
This was one of a dozen or more missing reports blasted across the Internet via BreakingNews.com and other news outlets. And where does he end up? At a friend's house having an unauthorized sleepover.

Is it safe to say the parents (or parent) are facing charges? Or being billed for wasting everyone's time? Or making it harder to enlist the assistance of the public the next time some unsupervised child goes missing due to neglect?

In addition to this "missing," we've seen half-a-dozen other kids turn up, including a 14-year-old who was shacking up a 19-year-old.

Countdown to the public not caring about a media generated frenzy beginning in 3...2...1...
