As a follow up piece to missing children, the Orlando Sentinel has this piece as to the challenges of running a NON Profit for missing children. WrapitUp posted the 1st article in this series two days ago on FLA missing children in the Lounge. Of course, the ANT's had advice on running a NON-PROFIT as did the MILSTEAD's, why is it that the ORLANDO SENTINEL couldn't have interviewed a real advocate running a NON-PROFIT like Tim Miller,a REAL AUTHORITY , TES, a tireless advocate for the MISSING & MURDERED! (JMHO) After all, Tim exhausted most of his resources in the Orlando area looking for Caylee & Jennifer Kesse.

The missing-children's issue is not a very jazzy issue," said Sessions, whose group worked on more than 450 cases. "People only come to an organization like this when they have a missing child."

Caylee's grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, said they launched their nonprofit to help families understand their rights and provide them with information on the resources available to them.

"We basically had to figure out on our own what to do," the Anthonys said via an e-mailed statement. "There is so much going on that they do not know what to do or who to trust. We had no idea what community resources were available to us, or what our rights were."

Here is a little bit of that article:

Anthony case made impact
Sherri and Dennis Milstead, founders of Kid Finders Network, learned it first-hand. After the Milsteads volunteered in Caylee's case and featured her photo on their mobile billboard, the couple received harsh criticism.

"We took such a beating from the case in Orlando, it really put a hurting on us," Sherri Milstead said. "We're still being trashed over it."

Today the Milsteads' billboards are parked. Kid Finders, she said, doesn't have any money.

also there is a little something about the Anthony foundation:

Several months after Caylee was reported missing, her family organized a foundation in her name.

Caylee's grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, said they launched their nonprofit to help families understand their rights and provide them with information on the resources available to them.

"We basically had to figure out on our own what to do," the Anthonys said via an e-mailed statement. "There is so much going on that they do not know what to do or who to trust. We had no idea what community resources were available to us, or what our rights were."

The Anthonys' goal is to help families get emotional, financial and spiritual help. end

If we kept the Milsteads from cashing in on the grief of families missing children
we have done something good.

:clapping: This makes me very happy. Thanks so much for posting it.

Well, how in the HELL did they buy that boat, the USS Caylee Marie? Didn't KID FINDER's buy the boat in honor of Caylee?

Maybe buying that speed boat wasnt such a good idea? :P
