Dear God, I hope they find him.

They just said he questioned the abductor as to why he was being chosen.

RUN, RUN LIKE HECK! I have to tell my kids to run if they are ever approached like this.

I think Dh said that all of the employees that are on the road get text messages with amber alerts so they can keep their eyes open.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm being overly protective. I drop off and pick my kids up every day.

I will be praying for a happy outcome to all of this.

I heard it on the radio and wrote down as much as I could I know I missed a few details and made a lot of typos, but was trying to get it posted as fast as I could.

I can't fathom how frantic his parents must be. My stomach turns thinking about it.

Bump.

 

[dreamcometrue]

that's terrible! I hope they find him and soon!!

 

[N&B'smom]

Oh my gosh. As a parent this is my worst nightmare. I can't believe other kids were there and witnessed this! I pray this boy is returned safely to his home. I hope they get this guy and put him away for a VERY long time.

How horrible!
In Sarasota news today an 11 year old was approached by a man in a car asking for help with a dog - she yelled fire and was able to get away and give police a description. Very scary.

Horrible! Bumping!

Here's a really in-depth article, the teen was abducted from a group of a dozen or so kids and HIS MOTHER while waiting for school.

They've called in the FBI and all available law enforcement, including F&W officers.

pretty wild about the mother being there.

 

[Aidensmom]

I am not sure his mother was there, or if they just worded badly (like should have said "15 other students at the bus stop and his mother are safely at.....").

 

[elgerber]

Sometimes I wonder if I'm being overly protective. I drop off and pick my kids up every day.

Yeah, I drive my almost 14 year old to the bus stop every day, because it's 2 blocks from the house and I can't see it. DH thinks I'm nuts, but stories like this keep my doing it!!


I hope this ends well, stories like this scare the crap out of me!!!

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

It sounded like it meant that the mother was there as well, but it never touched on that again.

How horrifying!

I was reading some of the other articles in the links provided. One mentioned a high school principal was busted for buying crack from an undercover cop in his school. The principal wanted to do the deal there because that's where he felt safe!

Another was about a FL Mayor trying to use his brother's info to get a credit card.

Anyway, I hope they find this boy quickly safe & sound!!!
