Here or to go?

As I thought about the McDonald’s articles, it occurred to me McDonald’s are in most Wal-Mart stores (at least the ones I have shopped in). So you may be asking ...“What Wal-Mart Does to Help Find Missing Children.” Here is the answer.

"...Since 1996, Wal-Mart has posted pictures of missing children in the lobbies of all of our facilities. The display boards have featured more than 7,104 children, more than 5,568 of whom have been recovered. From this number, 141 children have been recovered as a direct result of our bulletin boards.

It is a parent's worst nightmare. Yet, thousands of children are reported missing in the U.S. every day. In stores and clubs across the country, Wal-Mart and SAM'S CLUB are proud to be a part of bringing these children home. As a part of our commitment to keeping kids safe, the Missing Children’s Network was formed through a partnership between Wal-Mart, SAM'S CLUB and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). .."



Wouldn’t you think the number would be higher? Either the display boards would appear not to be as effective as they could be or the average Wal-Mart shopper is apathetic toward missing children or both.

100 million: The number of people who shop at Wal-Mart's 3400 American stores every week.
