N.C. Officials Don't Issue Amber Alert For Missing Black Girls Until 7 Days Later

The contents of the video below are a combination of news clips about a Missing Child Project In NC. The missing child Asha Degree, is Black.

Its no secret that in most cases NC Law Enforcement officials don't do all they possibly can to help find missing or exploited Black Children in a timely manner, especially when those children are in Foster Care. Yet the state's Leaders have remained silent on this issue.

In fact Minority Children who reside in North Carolina, mainly Foster Care children are often poorly educated, live in poverty, frequently sexually/ physically abused by both biological and foster care parents and killed. The murderers of these children are also rarely prosecuted.

Why haven't NC Leaders stopped this tragedy?

Foster Care Children are one of the state's biggest sources of Federal Funding.

Its a horrible racket!!

Looks like Federal Investigators (from DC) including the FBI needs to pay a little visit to North Carolina. Perhaps then state officials/ leaders will begin cooperating and stop allowing these children to be mistreated or killed like dogs.




Amber Alert issued for pregnant 12-year-old, sister

An Amber Alert has been issued for a pregnant 12-year-old and her younger sister from Mooresville.

Police said they issued the alert because the pregnant sister missed an appointment last week for an important medical procedure, and now her health could be at risk.

The Iredell County Sheriff's Office says Keara Hess, 12, and Sierra Hess, 11, have been missing since last Wednesday.

The girls are believed to be with their adoptive father, Matthew Hess.

"We hope when we find them we get a lot of questions answered," said Lt. Julie Gibson with the Iredell County Sheriff's Department.

Investigators say Hess left his estranged wife a note saying that he was taking Sierra to Lakeshore Middle School. The wife became suspicious when Keara didn't make it to her doctor's appointment.

"Since Thursday it's been hell," said Jeanette Hess, the girls' mother.

Keara is 8 1/2 months pregnant and needs a medical procedure to protect her child.

"There are some things we've heard from her physician that makes us very concerned. The baby needs medical attention right away," said Gibson.

Hess and the girls haven't been seen since last Wednesday night.

"He didn't pack to stay away for an extended period of time," Gibson said. "He's the girls' legal father."

This story has attracted national attention. Deputies are thankful for that because time may be running out for Keara's baby. Phone calls have come in from all over the East Coast.

"Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Stokes County, N.C., Wadesboro -- so we really don't have much of a direction. We're just trying to blanket as much as we can," Gibson said.

Investigators think Matthew Hess may be driving a brown or tan 1993 Ford Explorer with N.C. license plate YTE-8014. The back right passenger window is broken out and is covered with Plexiglass, which is duct-taped in place.

Anyone who sees Hess or the girls should call the Iredell County Sheriff's Office at 704-878-3100.
