Though the category of missing persons is vague, it has always been a chilling topic for anyone to think about.
Whether it be a classmate, friend, or even someone you know from afar, knowing that there is a dangerous hunter on the loose, is terrifying.
Jessica Reyes, a senior at Carson Senior High School, expressed her concern over the recent missing persons case in the community.
“I just find it crazy that [it is in] our area, and it could be literally anyone,” said Reyes.
In today's age of social media, information is readily available that may help prevent missing persons cases from being normalized.
Helpful information that may prevent people from becoming victims include looking out for cars that are marked with items such as zip ties, chalk, and drugged pieces of paper.
Some feel so vulnerable that promotions for self-defense against predators have become popular.
“[Self-dense is] a good and smart thing as long as they know how and when to use it in different situations,” said Reyes.
Parents who were once nonchalant and carefree about their children's whereabouts. Widgets that have been created like FindMyIphone. Our new updated technology, like the use of FindMyIphone, now give people the ability to obtain the location of love ones to help get clarity and peace of mind.
The community of Carson has proven to be helpful in raising awareness of anyone in need of finding their loved one.
Missing Carson resident Angeline Castaneda had posters of her posted all around the South Bay area. Telephone poles that had once been crowded with jobs hiring and companies offering service are now filled with missing person posters. The majority of these are young women ages of 15-17.
