Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, introduced the bill and his office says the alerts are the first of their kind in the nation. Rainfall forecasted mid-week: NWS The statistics are indeed alarming. According to the Black and Missing Foundation -- a nonprofit that brings awareness to missing people of color -- Blacks make up 14 percent of the U.S. population but represent 38 percent of the missing children in this country.

Gavin Newsom earlier this year. "This is heartbreaking and painful for so many families and a public crisis ...Raiders missing star RB Josh Jacobs because of quad injury for game against Chiefs
