Yeah, I have noticed that about TV news. They almost never ever show white juveniles on the TV news but, at least here, they are quick to show a black or Mexican juvenile on TV news. I wonder why.....

Wow, you've got issues. You linked a story from Yahoo News and then you turn around and say it was FOX news. You didn't like to FOX news and even if you did, your above link shows that another news source didn't mention race. You got a race problem? You racist or something?

Does it really matter if they're white?

Skin color is not an indicator of intelligence didn't you know that?

Skin color can't commit a crime either.

Legally they cannot show the photos of juveniles unless they're being tried as an adult.

I think it's mostly white people who are involved with meth.

This is sickening! How could anyone allow this to happen to an innocent baby.

This has been a horrible year for children so far. I hope everyone in that house goes to jail. Whats sad is that they will probably have more children to neglect in the near future
