Not anywhere near as much as they would for a young white toddler, IMO.

I disagree. I have seen nothing to support such an assertion. All I see is a media link to a missing black toddler.

Sure there is no support for such an assertion, the link comes from an African American oriented website, no wonder the attention.
Missing black children get less news coverage
Missing, murdered Black youth get unequal national media coverage
And here is even a research article on the topic:
Missing Children in News: Racial and Gender Representation of Missing Children Cases in Television News
Missing Children in News: Racial and Gender Representation of Missing Children Cases in Television News
This research explores race and gender related selection bias in national television news coverage of missing children cases in the United States. When the proportions of ethnicity and gender from the news coverage of five national television stations between 2005 and 2006 were compared to official missing children statistics, it was found that African American missing children and female missing children were significantly underrepresented in television news coverage. It is argued that such things as newsroom diversity, news operation routines, media ownership, and commercial motives of media contribute to the race and gender related media bias.
Pull your head out of the sand Gunny, seriously.

The Bass' article said:Justice is now listed on the Web site for the Center for Missing and Exploited Children and on the Americas Most Wanted Web site. Television stations, radio stations and newspapers around Gary and Chicago have followed the story and shown photos of Justice with numbers to call to alert authorities if she is spotted.
How many white kids went missing? How many hispanic kids went missing? How about asians, arabs, or Jews?
I see one report of one kid and you turn it into a sign that nobody cares about black kids gone missing. I see plenty of posters on the wall at the Post Office and they are of kids of all races and creeds. I hope they find this kid, I really do, but you should be ashamed of yourself for belittling a potential tragedy into a petty argument about racism.

Call it a gut feeling.
How about you pull YOUR head out of your ass, Charles?Pretentious and abusive are we? The Bass will pray for you and hope you will take a class in how to express yourself in much more calmer ways.
You got no game. One thing about children, they don't see in color nor do I see them in color.
Your individual views on children while noble and honest, does not erase the evidence of a widespread disparity and bias in media reporting of black and white missing children, which part of the Bass just said does your jarhead brain not understand?
It's when they turn into you carrying a sign that declares their color you can't help but miss it.
You come on here with this racist A-HA! without bothering to look at all us dumb white fold that bitch about the media constantly. You have to try and make it an issue of race.
Need some cheese to go with that whine, or what?
Its truly funny how *SOME* white people pretend and ignore that racism and racial disparities don't exist and or are overinflated except of course when it comes to their delusional perceptions of affirmative action, racial quotas and the mythological more qualified, deserving and smarter white guy who is disproportionally always getting shafted out of jobs, school admissions, etc in astronomical numbers.
I would post something here, but my friend Gunny would just censor it.
Why I don't know.
Though not on children, this study makes the same conclusions on adults:
The Invisible Damsel: Differences in How National Media Outlets Framed the Coverage of Missing Black and White Women in the Mid-2000s
Building on feminist and race theory, this textual analysis examines how national media outlets framed the coverage of missing Black and White women during the mid-2000s. This study argues that race and external factors such as attractiveness and youthfulness function as unfair criteria of newsworthiness in mainstream media coverage of women. Findings indicate that journalists overlooked missing Black women while they objectified missing White women. It is imperative to question how reporters present information to the public because news coverage of issues often sets the tone for how audiences perceive them. Additionally, medias reliance on a patriarchal representation of the world that values women based on looks and body size is detrimental to all women.
Gunny is either delusionally in a deep state of denial of the facts or all these studies are all lies and Gunny himself secretly has some smoking gun to refute all this reasearch
My gut feeling says if you are the toddler of someone either famous or wealthy, you will make the headlines. If you are the toddler of someone middle class or lower, you make the headlines only if the media isn't on one of its current oversensationalizing crusades.
That's the media, and that's how it operates. I've seen black and white children on the amber alert here, but mostly Hispanic. Might have something to do with the ethnic population where you live as well.
I just don't believe race is as much a factor as you do, I guess.
