This has to be the worst fear for a parent. I can't even imagine.

Prayers that this little boy makes it home safely to his mom.

After having my oldest "missing" for just an hour, I can only begin to imagion the fear that poor lady is going through. I hope they find him safe real soon.

Hopefully the little boy will return safe and sound. I can't even imagine what the mother is going through right now.

Thanks for posting this!! I have a friend who lives in Douglasville, which is not far from AT. I will give him a call tonite and see if he has heard about it on the news and tell him to be on the lookout.

Why do people take children? It's probably the most cruel thing that a person can do. I do hope this little boy is found safe soon.

I obviously feel for the little boy and pray for his safe return, and pray for his mother, but at the same time, I can't help but feel red flags with this.

How many kids have you heard of being abducted at gunpoint? Sounds odd.........I hope not, but it just does seem odd. DON'T FLAME ME!! (well, go ahead, I'll just don my flame resistant material)

I was thinking that they were just stealing her car and the kid happened to be inside. I pray they will just put the boy somewhere safe where he will be found and returned.

The first thing I thought when I read this is that it could be a custody thing or something.

I hope they find him soon and that he'll be safe until they find him.

I suspect they wanted the car and the boy was still inside and they didn't want to take the time to get him out before driving off.

It is curious that they took him with them when the abandoned the car. I hate to say it, but I HOPE it just means they wanted the boy (ie a custody dispute) and he's with them, scared but alive and well.

Because the alternative is that they killed him and dumped him somewhere.

I know there are other possibilities. Maybe they left him and he is wandering around, or was found by child services.

I just hope he's okay. How anyone could harm a baby like that is just beyond comprehension to me.

Are you thinking along the lines of Susan Smith? Where she tried to cover up what she did by blaming it on a carjacker??

COLUMBUS, Georgia (AP) -- A 2-year-old boy was kidnapped during a carjacking and is in "extreme danger," police said Thursday.

The toddler's mother, Lakendra Trice, told police two men approached her and her son Tellious Brown as they got out of a car Wednesday night.

She said the men pointed a gun at her and drove off with the boy still in the car, which police found abandoned a short time later.

Police referred all questions to the FBI, who declined to comment.

Family members said Tellious is shy and quick to cry when scared.

"He doesn't really take to strangers and that's what really worries us," said Martha Trice, the boy's great-grandmother. "He just gets upset a lot a cries around strangers."

Martha Trice said the boy's family members gathered in Columbus after the kidnapping and stayed up all night hoping for word of his return.

"He's a very lovable child, his mother's only child," she told The Associated Press. "He not the type of child you can just walk by. He's beautiful."

Police issued an Amber Alert Thursday for Tellious, posting his description to media outlets and on highway billboards.

Columbus is 95 miles south of Atlanta near the Alabama border
