Men top list of missing people

Funny Barbados News BlogMALES BETWEEN the ages of two and 80 years have topped the police's missing list so far this year, and this is a departure from the norm. Speaking on the force's On the Beat programme yesterday on Voice Of Barbados, police public relations officer Inspector Barry Hunte said: "When one looks at the trends over the last four, five years of missing persons, we saw predominately up to last year where mostly young females of school age the individuals reported missing." However, he said they had noticed there was a "spike" as it related to males.
"Of the 33 cases reported, 22 are men and 11 are women, and of the 22, four persons unaccounted for all are men," Hunte said, adding that all of the females reported missing this year had been traced and accounted for. Source: Nation News
Well, from this news report I can't determine whether we should be seeking to reduce the number of missing men, or raise the number of missing women. Men between 2 and 80?? What de france does that mean? WHO ELSE IS THERE? I don't expect a 6 month old baby to just disappear, how would you report that? OMG.. I think my new born baby is missing! Ma'am, you have to wait at least 24 hours before you can report a missing person. If he is not found after that time, please check to see if Angelina Jolie has adopted him. What they should tell us is why the persons they found were missing in the first place, so we could make more sense of the numbers. They say 22 were missing, but I think orginally there were only 18 missing. Then it was probably rumoured how they were all spotted at the Blue Babes strip club on the south coast. So they sent 4 male police officers to retrieve them... soon after, it then became 22 men missing... shame.

*After reading this post, 217 more men will go missing. In an unrelated report, John Moore's bar will sell a 189 bottles of Cockspur the same night.
