Missing Persons in DC

For the last week I've been seeing news stories about missing girls in Washington D.C. There is a very high number of girls who have been kidnapped since the year started and they haven't been getting a lot of attention in the media because most of them are of color. The only reason the issue is getting the amount of attention it has is because the police have been using social media to try and aid their search. This relates to class because it is an intersectional issue, the missing girls are not being widely focused on because of their skin color. Reading these articles made me wonder how much of an issue this is in New York and other major cities like it.
