Summer Wells is a child that has been according to witnesses thus far, has been sexually violated, which is paedophilia and possibly human trafficked too. Gabby was in a domestic violence situation. It wasn't just missing. I can't believe these issues that are prevalent to women across race, class, socioeconomic status would be used as a platform to be so divisive.
Lauren Cho has been missing since this summer and some are upset that it didn't get as much coverage as Gabby's case did. And there are missing Native American women which doesn't get the coverage either. Except I feel like I have heard a lot about those cases, but maybe people feel not as much is done to look for someone if they aren't white or if they are male.
I think Gabby's case was easy to have out in the open since she was blogging almsot daily and since they got pulled over, and since they had a suspect and they might have knew of his whearabouts, until he disappeared-
I was trying to copy/paste what Lauren Cho's family was saying about the 2 cases-that they basically said they are different-anyway it wouldn't let me copy/paste
