I've posted this before, but child abductions are extremely rare. The vast majority of children are far more likely to be abducted by their parents than a stranger.
Every time a white child is abducted it dominates the news for days. But that does not mean it is a common occurrence. I'll dig up the stats when I have more time.
It comes down to fear mongering for ratings -- violent crime rates are also substantially down -- but you'll never hear that stat on the evening news either.
