That's a bit callous. There really are thousands of kids kidnapped every year in America. And as someone who has been to Africa to help out with Engineers without Borders, I still feel like fighting kidnapping here is a worthwhile cause.



The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has data on this here: http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?L...

"115 children were the victims of “stereotypical” kidnapping. (These crimes involve someone the child does not know or someone of slight acquaintance, who holds the child overnight, transports the child 50 miles or more, kills the child, demands ransom, or intends to keep the child permanently.)"


Oh, absolutely! I think that that's worth fighting for. But write an article about that, not about an application being rejected from the app store.
