Nick Lampson: “As children across the country begin a new school year, some do so…”

On the recordSeptember 9, 2004

As children across the country begin a new school year, some do so with missing classmates. The problem with child abduction goes on. Seven months ago Monday, Carlie Brucia's remains were found after a stranger took her at a gas station. Now the seventh-graders at McIntosh Middle School in Florida are missing their classmate. Three weeks ago, 7-year-old Patricia Miles was found suffocated after going on a bike ride in Arkansas. Children at Turrell Elementary School are also missing a classmate today. Missing children from every walk of life, in many circumstances: stranger abduction, parental abduction, international abduction, all need our attention. Next Friday I will host a child safety forum for southeast Texans, and I call on members of the caucus and on all of my colleagues to hold similar events across the country. We must empower Carlie and Patricia's classmates and all children to know and use safety rules.
