Are news channels exploiting the parents of kidnapped children or helping them?

It seems like almost every other day parents of children who have been kidnapped are on national news stations telling their stories.
I understand that national coverage reaches a broad audience and therefore, in theory, should help in searches for missing children. But, is there any evidence to support that the television coverage actually helps? Is there a higher rate of solving kidnappings that get national media coverage? Or, does it just make for good ratings?
