A Rilya Alert is in honor after a beautiful African-American child, Rilya Wilson, who went missing for over eight months before anyone realized she was gone. Rilya Alerts are for missing children of color under the age of 17.
Rilya Wilson was born Sept. 29, 1996, to a homeless cocaine addict. Ironically, Rilya's name was an acronym for "Remember I love you always." She was taken into state custody when she was less than 2 months old. The woman who was supposed to be caring for Rilya under the foster care system, Geralyn Graham, was indicted for murder. She was also charged with kidnapping and three counts of aggravated child abuse in the case of Rilya who was suffocated or beaten to death sometime in December 2000. Her body was never recovered.
LostNMissing works very closely with Peas In Their Pods. Their organization provides continual updates on missing children of color under the age of 18. We are proud to work closely with an organization as theirs.
Peas In Their Pods was formed in March of 2007 to bring awareness about the epidemic rate at which African-American children are abducted or endangered.
Statistically, approximately 42 percent of missing children are African American, yet many times these children receive the least amount of media exposure. This negatively impacts the likelihood that they will be safely reunited with their loved ones.
