Were you aware that a child is abducted every 40 seconds in this country? Moreover, did you know that over 40% of these children are African American? If not, you are not alone because few people are aware of this epidemic. The truth is that African American children receive limited media coverage when they go missing. Sadly, without this exposure it is less likely that they will be safely found.

The staff at Peas In Their Pods works diligently to spread awareness about this issue by alerting media outlets as needed when African American children are missing or abducted. The media play a critical role in getting news and information out to the public, maybe in the future the role of reporting will include the safety of our children by alerting the public when one of our children are in danger, especially our African American Children, the response time ; immediate. Our mission is to bring awareness to our communities the plight of these children, and to make them a national priority.

Tavia Monique Sills

Remembering...Tavia Monique Sills, 18

Tavia Sills, who was five months pregnant, disappeared September 9, 2008 in Shreveport, Louisiana after leaving her home with her ex-boyfriend, Lamondre Tucker. After a frantic three day search by her family and friends, Tavia's body was found by fishermen in a pond near her ex-boyfriend's home. She had been shot three times. Tucker, along with his friend, Marcus Taylor, was soon arrested and charged in her murder. Prosecutors say they killed her because Tucker did not want to be a father to her baby. In 2011, it took a jury less than an hour to find him guilty of capital murder and he was sentenced to die by lethal injection. He currently sits on Louisiana's death row. His accomplice, Taylor, has pleaded guilty by reason of insanity and is awaiting sentencing.

Tavia was a freshman at Southern University and was looking forward to becoming a mother. Tavia's mother, Vickie, is here with us and she honors her daughter's memory by performing research and helping parents of missing children with the organization Peas in the Pod.
