I don't understand why either one of these men abducted these children !! Except for the 11 yr old,the others were way too young and needed much more care for them to be bothered with.I think sometimes this whole world has gone mad !!(except for us of course :)...john

Melissa Pepper just reported on Facebook that these children from Illinois have been found safe and the Amber Alert has been cancelled. Will post official statement if I find it!

Good news for these kids, I hope the others will fare as well.

check Grandmother Sierra and an Uncle probably in Mexico

I've still been checking trying to get photo's of the California 4 children and the carjacker/hostage guy. I'll get it to you the moment I receive or find it.
Prayers that they will all be safe.
