Unbelievable! I'm glad the baby is alive and well, but WHY IN THE WORLD would someone do something like this? Just... wow.

MODS: After reading through, I realize this info was posted in the thread about the little girl missing, so please feel free to delete if necessary. I'm just glad the little girl is safe.

Ya know, I am so not a violent person, but for those rare times that I would like to take out some aggression, I would love to have someone like this in the room with me!

I'm glad the baby is safe and hope that she gets a home where she will be loved, appreciated and will get the care she deserves.

They had another kid back in 87 who was three years old that was never found. Good god we have some crazy people in this country.

This is very very similar to the Shannon kidnap case that was in England last year
