'Unexplained Paradox' of Missing Teen Females in Washington DC Might be the Explanation to the Disappearances
Posted by Headline Crest News on Friday, March 31, 2017
Setting the record straight:
The definition of a paradox is a seemingly contradictory statement, or it is self-contradictory. In easy to understand words, it is when two ideas that make up the sentence contradict each other and the whole of the statement winds up making no sense.
The Nation's Capital is not a factory that produces missing female teens in numbers of 2000 each year, irrespective of how far back the statistics go, 3 years, 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, and so forth.
Despite the fact that it has happened over and over again, it is not grounds to get comfortable with the situation, and accept it as a 'new norm'.
In recent weeks, there has been a storm brewing as to why somewhere between 2 dozen and 25 teenage females, or ages thereabout, 'disappeared' in a very short span of time. Then came a rebound that it is in a doubtful zone, a gray area, as to whether the disappearances were the decisions of own
Forthrightly, the Lyons disappearance case, that took place outside Wheaton/Westfield Mall in the Silver Spring area back in 1975, a case still ongoing, is being looked at with renewed scrutiny, right through here, concurrent the disappearances of the teenagers from DC in March 2017, both the sets of disappearances are within a few minutes drive from each other; essentially close to the same area.
DC area and Maryland residents are sick of the games.
The gray area, as to whether teen girls disappeared the result of their own decision, perhaps an outgrowth of a maturity stage, is one of the games, this where the human trafficking, the manipulation starts. If it was an easy clear-cut situation of a female was coerced under force in broad daylight with plenty of witnesses, then it would be easy to pinpoint the root of the problem, clamp down, and punish the perpetrators. It is when there is some cloudiness, that gives enough wiggle room for a perpetrator to escape direct blame, and direct punishment, that the perpetrators can make their escape, and have more time to continue in the crimes.
It is not just that simple either; some of the perpetrators are women, not just intimidating men with grubby beards; and in some situations, the perpetrator is a family member or related to, which softens the blame when the finger has to be pointed to the perpetrator by the victim. The likelihood that the niece of a perpetrator that has been raised and fed by the older female will press charges that result in jail is reduced.
The game of manipulation.
Not sure whether the teenage female or girl ran away, or was kidnapped, in today's terminology, 'trafficked'?,- let us look the other way, this is just a runaway situation that happens a couple of thousand times a year, no big deal, keep going to the mall, keep partying, drive to work the next morning, and all is okay, meanwhile the seat of government is an embarrassment far beyond the scope of what can be summed up here; that is not the perspective to hold on solving the situation.
It is an age old situation now, unfortunately, of teenagers disappearing from DC, especially the numbers being comparatively high when the victims can be described as African American or having similar outward features.
The solution might have in it, the realization that that, there is, a push and pull to relax the response to 'disappearances', and that middle-ground gray area cases, runaway or under coercion, needs to be categorized and put in jar that indicates that is the dynamic of the situation.
Afterword
Title of this story was revised to end with 'to the Disappearances' for easier understanding of the idea of what is being stated
