  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. Few realize that a child is abducted every forty seconds in the United States. Moreover, over thirty-three percent of these children are African American. Sadly, these children receive the least amount of media exposure. This negatively impacts the likelihood that they will be safely reunited with their loved ones. Peas In Their Pod’s goal is to spread awareness, and improve the reporting and search system as it pertains to African American children. The organization created a new alert system called the RILYA Alert system named after a youngster named Rilya Wilson who went missing for over eight months before anyone realized she was gone. This new alert system will help reduce the response time in which the crucial information is shared with the public so that Rilya’s tragedy does not occur again.
