I think I'm starting to understand why there isn't more Criminal Minds case-fic out there. It's not really a case of being intimidated by the show's quality, although I think that's a factor. It's because you have to wade through pages of depressing statistics to give Reid one line of dialogue.

Actually, scratch out depressing. Replace it with disturbing. At the moment, I'm researching an episode tag to 3x05 "Seven Seconds" and the child abduction statistics are scary enough. You know what's worse? The acronym for one study is NISMART. National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway children.

Thrownaway. There's even a definition of it on the webpage. One thing I like about Criminal Minds is that it never plays down the horror of this, that we need a definition for it.

*shivers* Still, I'm writing the story anyway. Because there's one hell of a loose end there, and I really, really want to tie it up. Or at least draw attention to it, because I can't have been the only one to spot it.

Thrownaway?!? *meeps*

Thrownaway? Eep. I mean, I know that people abandon children in the way they do pets, but that makes it sound so... yeah, disturbing's a good word :S

Criminal Minds is one of the few shows that really looks honestly at the world. Not like a certain crime drama set in Las Vegas. *cough* I'll be very interested to see your episode tag. :)

Yep, I like that this show is honest about all the god-awful crap that goes on in the world - but at the same time manages to balance it out a little with Reid's nerdishness, and Garcia's epic win.

Can't wait for the story!
