From Examiner

Jameshia Conner, 12, was found strangled and dumped in an alley near her home after being missing for two weeks.
Authorities believe that Jameshia was only dead one day before her body was found, although she had been missing two weeks.
The family is reportedly criticizing police, saying they did not give Jameshia’s case the attention it required.  They are saying that had the case been handled correctly, Jamesia may still be alive.  They say that the police mistakenly marked the case as a run-away, instead of a missing endangered child.

    Black kids aint gonna get the same attention as white kids. If she was white, they woulda had the search party looking for her.

    Wow, that some bs and the truth too that if she was a non black she would have had more attention they need to stop assuming that some kids are run aways they dont have no problem roaming and searching the neighborhoods when they looking for the wrong person so this childs life could have been saved if they had looked for her earlier or was it just an inconvience for them smh

    Number one, the police didn’t mistakenly mark this girl’s case as a runaway. They did it on purpose. Because as far as the cops are concerned, no one wants to abduct a black child. So if one comes up missing, they ran away!

    Number two, why didn’t the black community get together and form their OWN search party? Instead of sitting around singing hymns and talking about what the police ain’t doing — get up and do for your damn selves! When white children go missing… their parents everyone in their town or community to get up and search for their child!

    why didnt the famly and friends take matters into theirs owns hands and do something instead of blaming cops. should they blame their own shelve for being irresponsible at first? we already know cops can careless about us, so why do we sit around and wait for a cop to do something for us?

    Hmm saying that someone should blame themselves for their child’s abduction and murder is a little harsh huh? How can you call them irresponsible when you don’t know the story behind the incident. And even if there were some misjudgments made, why would someone tell the family to blame themselves. That’s a tad bit too insensitive if you ask me. They lost a child, they will have to live with that for the rest of their lives, now you want them to blame this death on themselves? Why so they could spiral down into a depression and possible commit suicide? I know that’s a bit extreme but not far fetched.

    As far as the police are concerned…I can imagine they did think she was a runaway. Not because she’s black, but because of her age. Recently there was a 12 year old girl who was missing for 4 days and the police didn’t bother to look for her b/c they said she was too old for an amber alert. We, as in her family, myself, my friends, my church family, other people’s church families….etc, put out our own “Amber” alert. Made videos on youtube, posted information on Facebook, formed search parties etc. Luckily she was found, by her grandmother, unharmed. Sometimes people have to take matters into their own hands. Oh I forgot to tell you this girl was NOT BLACK!!! Black people get on my nerves b/c ANY time a supposed injustice is done to someone of color, they are ALWAYS bringing race in it. What happens when it’s black on black crime? Is it a conspiracy then? Oh wait yeah it is…they put the bad black criminal back out on the streets to go and kill another black person…’we’ll let them eradicate themselves.’ UMMM people we don’t need “whitey” to legally help us get away with things….we do it all the time to ourselves.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends who knew her.
