Sounds an awful lot like there were enough problems that there is no excuse this child was left with his parents. How terribly sad. That poor boy.

That poor baby. I will hope and pray for it, but it does not seem likely this will have a happy ending.

Agreed. Very weird. His fathers plea was very strange considering the child is 5 years old. Asking him to come home and assuring him he’s not in trouble. That sounds like a plea to a teenager.

DCFS says they have been n touch with the family since the day that boy was born.  The dad seems very 'off'. His plea for the boy to come home felt like it was taken from a bad TV show. |

I heard about this earlier. I hope he is safe, but I am doubting it. What a horrible situation all the way around.

That stuck out to me as well, it's not like the 5yo planned his own fake-kidnapping/ransom scam and is holed up somewhere watching the news. I hope the boy is ok, but it doesn't sound good. |

Given the history, I agree it doesn't sound good.

I told my husband that a 5 year old probably wouldn’t leave the house at night. An older kid probably would run away.
It just doesn’t past the sniff test.

That poor baby.
It sounds like he never had a chance being born to that family.

Prayers for the foster family who cared for him for two years, they must be devastated. I know a foster family who was in a very similar situation, except when the child died there was no allegations of kidnapping/disappearance.
I hope he’s okay, but like others said it doesn’t sound good.

Yeahhhhhh the father's plea is all sorts of wrong. You don't speak to a 5 year old like that. He isn't waiting, watching the news like "Ok my Dad won't be mad. I guess I'll head home now". He's a BABY for crying out loud.
Something stinks in Denmark.

I saw one interview with the dad yesterday. Dad said he was going to go get a cell phone so his son could call him. Hmmm......phone number?
Ok, there is a blurb on tv from Good Morning America this morning. Mom was “crying” although no tears.

I am so sick of these stories.
As a pro-choice person, I struggle with the fact that people who abuse their children are able to have and abuse (and possibly murder) as many children as nature allows. My desire for vengeance overtakes my ideas of what justice should look like in a civilized society.

My desire for vengeance overtakes my ideas of what justice should look like in a civilized society. I sitting here with my 2 1/2 yr old who was adopted from foster care. He is weaning off one of his seizure meds and is going through withdrawal, it is the worst thing ever. Birthmom had 3 kids when my son was born and his head injury happened at 5 weeks. He is mine now and I have his younger brother (they are 13 mo apart). She moved counties, and had another one 11 mo later. I would not be surprised if she wasn’t pregnant again. She is 28, she can keep caving babies every year. It’s disgusting and there is nothing I can do to stop it. But my 2 boys are safe, and loved beyond belief. Our adoption for the little one was on 4/8!!! |

First of all thank you so much stormycat for adopting your two sons and giving them the loving and caring home that they so desperately needed. You are an angel.
As far as this news story goes I'm very sad today and I hold out little hope for this little boy. The fact that the sperm and egg givers (I will not type the word parents they don't deserve it) have stopped cooperating with the police tell me everything I need to know. No parent anywhere who's child has been taken would ever do that! Did you all see the photo of this poor little boy? He already looked like a ghost. My heart is breaking for him.
I think we as a society need to stop giving the parents so much lead way when it comes to child abuse investigations. Too many times I believe children are left with parents when they shouldn't be. I also think it is because of lack of funds and resources in that area and in that case we as a country should advocate for more funds and resources and take the money from somewhere else. From where? I don't know-I'm not a presidential candidate. Maybe the military. Maybe spend less on football stadiums. But children should be our priority. Not the last thought.

However if the religious pro-birthers get their way and abortion becomes illegal, there’ll be even more babies born to parents who do not want to care for them. Instead of trying to control women’s choices and outlaw abortions, more money should be spent on sensible fact based sex education in schools, free access to birth control and medical care for women in need, more support for child social workers and health care professionals, free parent classes, etc. Forced parenthood will not end well and I guarantee the pro-birthers won’t be stepping up to use any of their precious tax dollars to help. |

I agree with you 100%! My mother was born to a mother who didn't want her in 1939 and I know how horribly that turned out. My grandmother (who was a single mother) often ignored her, abused her and abandoned her, dropping her off with relatives for years at a time when she was a baby and from the age of 2-5. It is so shocking to me that we have come this far backwards from where we were when Roe vs. Wade was passed. The new heartbeat laws scare the heck out of me! We can change it by voting and we all have to vote. |

From what I am seeing online, it looks like the Police are about to break the case. Anyone else watching?
edit: cops have removed a shovel, Childs mattress from the home. Dad is still at the Police station with states attorney.
