I don't really understand why parents do this. The authorities will catch up with them and it just messes with the kid's heads.
I don't understand either, Teresa.
I just heard about this one... We are close to the area.
Please keep an eye out for them, Kelly.
Prayers going up now, Bob.

Thanks, Vivian.
I pray to you Father God that you protect these children and let them be found without anything bad happening to them. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
Amen
I sure hope they find them and safely. It is so scary to hear these things happen. Specially when it is a parent that is doing it. If they are going to go to these extremes what will they do next?
That's a good point, Renee.
I hope that the kids stay safe while with their mom and are found quickly.
I do too, Kat.
I hope they find them soon and safe.
Thanks, JoAnn. Me too.
