So I think it's rather the number alarming them.Irene Lykke Fiskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826497736849428733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783097699817678791.post-12838345346384682322009-05-27T12:31:44.286-06:002009-05-27T12:31:44.286-06:00Or maybe the 15-17 cases are what first alerted th...Or maybe the 15-17 cases are what first alerted them to the 300...I don't know, just thinking out loud here! :-)EthioPAPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783097699817678791.post-10201543953810901512009-05-27T12:22:38.705-06:002009-05-27T12:22:38.705-06:00Anon, I've heard of at least 2 agencies who were t...Anon, I've heard of at least 2 agencies who were told this same thing (it's in the archives of this site, somewhere). Most agencies seem to concentrate on the 15-17 suspicious cases (signed off by one police officer) when passing on information. I would love to know more about the 300 cases; we know there has been a huge increase from a "certain area" within Addis, perhaps the 3 adjacent sub-cities brought up a couple days ago. It's possible the 300 cases are from this area, and the 15-17 cases brought in by the police officer are a seperate issue (but further indication of a problem regarding abandonments.)EthioPAPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783097699817678791.post-10818961588728629512009-05-27T12:13:09.549-06:002009-05-27T12:13:09.549-06:00At one point, our agency indicated [in writing to ...At one point, our agency indicated [in writing to waiting families] that there were approx. 300 abandonment cases in Addis in one month, triggering concern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
