Years ago, when there was no internet, I read, in our county newspaper, that a 6 year old white boy was abducted from the Seattle area. He was spotted in a convenience store, on the east coast, with a white girl, around 10 years old. They were with two black men.

The girl mouthed the word "Help" to the person at the cash register. That person called the police. The report was found on the desk of the police station two weeks later.
