Thank GOD that both of them are safe. An always remember that sometimes there is a reason for things like this. Glad that she and her son is alive. She is a smart woman for hiding from this man. Because he might have done something really bad to the both of them. Just hope she don't go back to that place where she might get hurt. GOD BLESS HER, AND HER SON AND KEEP THEM SAFE, AND OUT OF HARMS WAY.

Ann is in a very abusive relation ship and has really no help or family. the man she was running from is very mean to her..She should have left a long time ago. I've seen her with place's and buirse's all over her before.

To Anonymous on Jul 20, 2008 at 11:55 AM WHAT ARE YOU HIGH !!! If you are not even brave enough to put your name up then atleast type and make some sense !! TO Cindy... HELLO this mother was protecting her child SHE RAN AWAY... Alot of mothers " LOVE" their men and will stay even if it is hurting the child... SHE LEFT AND PROTECTED HER CHILD.. THE CPS system is a joke..you are right about that they are more worried about if they can wear blue jeans at work than worrying about our children

Stephanie and Cindy, dont' you think that the mother was trying to protect herself & her child from the man. How is that horrible. I understand your view if maybe you knew the situation a little better, but you shouldn't say stuff without knowing all the details or even the people.

Another case of domestic violence disrupting a child's life, when will the system and MOTHER'S start protecting the children

My prayers are with this family. I pray for a safe return. and for God's will. May God Bless you and keep them safe.

Is she the legal guardian of this child? If so why not leave them be there has to be a reason for them to abruptly leave. Abuse? New start?

Posted by: Stephanie on Jul 20, 2008 at 09:50 AM
That is so sad to hear. I never thought that a mother would be that way to a child especially that age. This is beginning to be a cruel world.

Posted by: Beth Ann on Jul 20, 2008 at 12:51 AM
Prayers go out to the mother and son, also to the family. I hope they are safe wherever they may be. Dont know the whole story, rather they left on their own or against their will. I just hope and pray they are just fine.

Posted by: dS on Jul 20, 2008 at 12:02 AM
my thoughts and prayers are with them. may they return home safe.

Posted by: sam on Jul 19, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Maybe there is a reason that this mother and son are missing. Do the police think there is foul play or did she have someone that was abusing her, maybe that was her only way out. Sometimes people leave because of something that no one can help them with. Not even the law can help everyone. So where ever she is I pray that they are safe, and that God watches over them.

thoughts & prayers are w/ this family in hoping a safe return...
