Police Incompetence Threatens Justice for Children
By Benjamin Radford, LiveScience's 'Bad Science Columnist'

"The search for a missing Florida girl named Caylee Anthony received worldwide attention this year, and recently came to a tragic end.

Ironically, the same week that Caylee Anthony was finally recovered, another high-profile missing persons case also highlighted the perils of a bungled police investigation. The victim was Adam Walsh, son of John Walsh, host of "America's Most Wanted." Adam's killer escaped justice for his crime because of police investigators' incompetence.

Police do not have an easy job, and should be commended for their good work when they solve crimes and bring criminals to justice. But, more often than the public realizes, poor police work jeopardizes prosecutions and lets killers walk free. Caylee Anthony, Adam Walsh, JonBenet Ramsey, and the rest of America's missing children deserve competent police work."
