Leaving with 3 strange local men and probably having wild, drugged out sex may have given her a shock when she sobered up and realised that 'normal' sex would no longer be the same. So she went for a moonlight swim, to be eaten by sharks. The End. Rather than face the fact that their daughter went wild and has probably been waiting for the right moment to proclaim her sexual freedom, they have turned the world (and reality) upside down. Their American Dream went wrong somewhere, as all silly Republican fantasies will.

He is all over the internet and is known as a homosexual misogynist. He has launched a campaign to upset Latoyia’s family. It is not working and he is mad. He is worst than the racist names he’s has been calling others because he hates EVERYONE. Let’s just all remember that we are on a different page than him and leave him to his asinine, eccentric ways. He is not worthy of our time. I am confident that with our collective prayers and thoughts for Latoyia will result in positive news, regardless of coverage. Her and her unborn baby’s life is worth more than ineffective arguing with weak, illogical, and half-witted people. He wants people to accept his lifestyle (as a homosexual), but he persists to put down others who are not like him. Just ignore him folks, concentrate on people who matter.

Come on, folks, lets put aside the idealistic thoughts and focus on being credible here. Thus, in furtherance of my previous commments on this "story," this case presents a miserable failure by left-wing, radical bloggers to bully a barely local news story onto the national news scene to make a point about race and media. As I've said repeatedly, this is not national news by any measure, and thankfully the national news broadcasts have dropped the story after just one or two days. This woman led a selfish, irresponsible, and dangerous life, just as her mother did, and she is now likely suffering for it in the same way. During the one or two days that this was on the news, the Natalee Holloway story did not receive quite as much attention as it usually had, but it is now back in the limelight once again because it is national news that people care about. No one cares about the LaToyia Figueroa case because it has nothing to do with the lives of 88 percent of the American public. Instead, the LaToyia Figueroa case is a clear and vivid reminder to the large majority of American families about how not to raise your children. LaToyia, who didn't have even $35 between her and Baby Fatha No. 2 for the insurance co-pay for prenatal care, turned around and went out with Baby Fatha No. 2 and bought fried seafood platters. This, in spite of claims that she was "hard working." This sort of behavior is more indicative of animals or savages than human beings. Let's get our focus back people, and concentrate our efforts on Natalee and other deserving people and let God's will take over the LaToyia case. The LaToyia case has been a huge embarassment to minorities and society as a whole--let's drop it. It has reinforced every negative stereotype and now has nearly everyone saying: "Stereotypes are the rule--let's not be confused by rare exceptions."

She is a beautiful young woman, with a full scholarship to the University of Alabama, who disappears on what would otherwise be a dream vacation to an island resort with the lowest crime rate in the world." You forgot the part where she got drunk and left to get gangbanged by three strangers. YEAH Baby Re: “The Natalee Holloway case is national news.

But wait little Miss Holloway got drunk then left with THREE men when she disappeared. MIKE

Philadelphia police have taken a whopping 4500 missing-persons reports so far this year. Among this group, Latoyia Figueroa is notable for being an adult (80% are kids), a parent, pregnant, and a reliable worker at a regular job-- factors that put her at the top of the list. Keep your eyes open for Ms. Figueroa, the one with all the media attention and the $100K reward, but also for the thousands of others.

There are hundreds thousands of missing people in this country, many under suspicious circumstances. We are so used to it, that "there is nothing particular unusual" in it, let pregnant women disappear, big deal, we are used to it already. The crime area is not near our home, let's wait till it gets there. You all don’t see the forest behind the trees.

There is nothing particularly unusual about this case. She is an inner-city African-American/Latino woman, living a more than unconventional lifestyle in a high crime area, and now she's missing--big surprise. Furthermore, this story is hurtful to minorities because it has done nothing other than to reinfornce negative stereotypes: (1) LaToyia's father and other relatives are barely literate; (2) LaToyia's best friend said: "She coulda been snatched up by anybody, or one of her baby's fathas, or some guy she's messin wit" (rolling eyes); and (3) rather than save up more money, LaToyia and Baby Fatha No. 2 took their money and bought fried seafood rather than pay the $35 co-pay for prenatal care. The Natalee Holloway case is national news. She is a beautiful young woman, with a full scholarship to the University of Alabama, who disappears on what would otherwise be a dream vacation to an island resort with the lowest crime rate in the world. Big, big difference, in every respect. I hope LaToyia returns home safely, although I doubt it. In the end, however, we should not have to have our national news littered with this story. I assure you the end result will only cause more embarassment and humiliation, and it's clear that national news anchors are annoyed by having to cover this story because they too, of course, realize it's not national news. Wise up Cranium, this isn't about you and your outdated political agenda.
