[GreatCaesarsGhost]

found in an apartment.

edit:this is the boy from missouri.

[EdwardM]

Are they alive?

I hope so, we got so many sick fucks in this world.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

3. report said both are fine

[MoonRiver]

10. Thank God.

Praying for these children and their families.

[EdwardM]

34. It must have been horrible for the kid

I saw the news. I was hoping he was a runaway, and not kidnapped by a molestor like he was. I really really hope they give this creep life in prison with no chance of parole so no more kids have to suffer.

[Pirate Smile]

1. OMG - what has been done to the other boy for the past four years?

[MichiganVote]

2. Kid trafficking is big business now in the US and all over the world

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

4. news conference on cnn headline news now

[hippiechick]

5. Oh my. Thank Goddess.

Those poor kids. I hope they're ok, and going to be able to get past this.


:(

6. I just saw that! Can you imagine the reaction of the parents of the boy missing since 2002???!!!

OMG! Surely they thought he was dead. What a blessing. They have to be the happiest people on earth right now.

[zanne]

16. That's what I'm thinking.

I saw a movie like that once. The kid was found after a couple of years--I remember thinking "Too bad that doesn't happen in real life". This is the kind of joy we can all share with the parents.

[Clark2008]

25. Except that their boy probably isn't the same as he was before

he was kidnapped.

I'm sure a long road of psychiatric help is in store for that family.

I'm VERY glad he's alive and so thrilled for his parents, but I'm still sad at what they now must all face.

[Critters2]

37. I've been thinking the same

They have to re-connect, and work through whatever trauma he's survived. It'll take years, and they'll never have the life they would have if this criminal hadn't kidnapped the boy. I feel for them, and am furious that one human being would put others through such an ordeal.

[OKNancy]

13. Thanks for the link. I've been watching the streaming

video from St. Louis provided at the link you gave.

[Fridays Child]

17. I was watching it, too, but I got knocked off the stream.

That's okay, though, because I'm going out in a few minutes. :hi:

[zanne]

15. Can you imagine how the parents are feeling?

Especially the parents of the kid who's been missing for four years! They had every reason to think he was dead. I just can't imagine that.

[Fridays Child]

19. I was trying to put myself in his mother's place.

I'm pretty sure that I'd be on the verge of a breakdown and in need of medical treatment. This is a level of joy that most people never expect to attain and, when it happens, it must feel utterly surreal.

[malaise]

21. Must be an incredible feeling

but a son that they hardly know will be returning - four years older and changed for life.

[Fridays Child]

22. This family may have some very trying times ahead.

I wish for them wisdom and peace in the challenging days to come.

[malaise]

23. They will need that

Like you I wish them all that is good.

[zonkers]

29. Thank goodness that older friend of Ben's witnessed the white truck. Wow.

This is amazxing.

[proud patriot]

8. gasp ...thank goodness

:(

[Wcross]

9. I hope he wasn't harmed.

I hope they caught the creep that took him. I would like for him to recieve the justice he deserves. No special treatment. Just put him in the general population at the local prison.

[buff2]

11. Oh thats WONDERFUL news!

Thank goodness those boys are alive and well. I can only imagine the happiness the parents are feeling now. I love hearing about news like this.......it doesn't happen that often these days. To the parents and those boys: :toast: :applause: :grouphug: :bounce:

[magellan]

12. This is incredible news, kudos to the detectives and others involved in finding them!

[malaise]

24. Looks like luck and some alert cops

[wildflowergardener]

14. wonderful news

I was in the imos the kidnapper worked at a couple of weeks ago. I guess this proves that people like this can be everywhere - even in a safe place like Kirkwood is. I don't recognize the picture of the person, though. I've been seeing the photos of the new boy up in stores.

So glad they were found alive.

Here's another article from the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

26. I grew up there.

Cheers to the Kirkwood cops! :toast:

[Darkhawk32]

18. My wife and I are thrilled for their families and thank goodness the boys are ok. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. Thank goodness!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[helderheid]

27. Here's the sick fuck who took them

[Kingshakabobo]

35. Is that Grover Norquist???? n/t

[Critters2]

38. Hehehe. A striking resemblance. nt

[saged52]

28. this is the most amazing story -

I live close enough to St. Louis to watch this unfold on the all the local news channels - I just can't stop crying!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

30. Good. Now let the stupid MSM back the hell off of the Families.

Leave them alone. That eldest will need much help, leave him the fuck ALONE. Back Off!!!!!!!!!
I do not want to know any more of what these boys have been thru.
All I can think of, is that Steven kid, and his Families tragedy that should have been recovery.
No More News on this item.

~Recovery to the Poikaa~

[earth mom]

31. I saw this story on one of the morning shows and couldn't watch

because it was so painful to see the parents grief. What a miracle that not only was the one boy found but also the other boy! :bounce:

Also, it was heartbreaking to read that the parents of the older boy depleted their life savings looking for him and have obviously been through hell! The kid who observed the pickup racing away deserves a big thank you from both families, because they would never have been found if it wasn't for him!

Also...Flame away but IMO, sick fuckers like the guy who kidnapped them deserve to be castrated and locked up forever. Enough is enough of this shit! :grr:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

32. No flames from me~

And castration not needed. Just chuck the likes of this in w/ the general prison population, turn your back and close your ears to the perps screams. Perps are not well tolerated in our prison system.

[helderheid]

33. No flames. Agreed.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

36. This Is Absolutely Amazing And Awesome News!!!! God Bless Them!

God those parents, especially that of Shawn, must be absolutely ecstatic! I couldn't even imagine what they must be feeling right now.

Thank God for their safe return. Awesome news!

I hope that fucker who held them rots his ass in prison till the end of his days.
