Young 7 year old Somer Thomson was missing in a town in Florida. Before her body was found all 161 sex offenders in a five mile radius of the girls home were questioned. Thomson was last seen by school mate outside of an abandoned house when walking home from school Monday.
This is a very interesting case because police believe none of the sex offenders have anything to do with the young girls disapperance. After her body was found sex offenders were no longer suspects. It seems to me that the case of Jaycee Dugard of the girl found after a number of years to be kidnapped by a sex offender that has been infliltraiting the news is affecting the judgement of the police. No evidence was found that the girl would be with a sex offender. The only evidence was that she was missing. This is important for social control because we can see that Thomson was about the same age at Dugard and their kidnapping situations were simalar but for the police to first suspect that a sex offender was to blame it upsurd. To use a pervious case that had nothing to do with Thomson's kidnapping only goes to show that the police are trying to please the public that such a mistake as Dugards will never happen again when in actuality if the police would have used the evidence from the site of Thomson's kidnapping to search for a lead then the girls life may have been saved!
