As I was watching the news I heard about another case of a person going missing. This is the 5th or 6th time I've heard about something like this in a 2 month period or slightly less even.

More than I've ever heard about this happening in any other areas

Anyone else think this is getting out of hand?

Another troubled kid ran away from home.
Happens everywhere.

Not just Portland.

Can you provide us with a cite that supports your claim: "More than I've ever heard about this happening in any other areas"?



BTW, I noticed that just about every city park I go to is covered in goose poop.
More than many other areas.

Does anybody else think this is getting out of hand?

If we stick with OP's theme, it is only a problem if we have more goose poop covered parks than other areas.

The missing kid problem is nothing new. It's been going on for centuries. But sometimes there is a happy ending.

Sorry, If YOU make a statemant like this, YOU have to prove your argument is factual, not me.
I'm just asking if "More than I've ever heard" is opinion or fact.
If it's fact, prove it.

OK, that's one side, now show us the statistics that prove it's "out of hand" and happening here more than "any other area".

Thanks so much!
