You guys running a little late with the news this morning ?? I just read he was found safe in Montana.
@lmdk2 Exactly... I heard on my radio this morning at around 7:15am that the child had, thankfully, been found safe.
If this is the amber alert that took over my television set last night, the audio sucked. In other words it was not worth the air time. Scrolling text would have been so much better.
Lets forget the politics, screwed up child custody system in both our countries and focus on whats important. Lets find the little guy and get him home. We are looking for a 2002 Subaru Outback, plate# 347SBL. Over 1,000 children, aged 3 months to 15 years of age have been murdered by both Mothers & Fathers in our countries in 2012, during trial separations and divorces before the parent takes their own life. Most of these children, before being found, were described by law enforcement as being in "IMMINENT DANGER"! Please help bring this little guy home.

Children become the 'pawns' in some of these divorces. I hope this all turns out all right and the child isn't hurt.
Of course the police will say "imminent danger". Those words will entice people to actually report any sightings. The guy could be a peace-loving hippy for all we know, but is now considered a danger because he didn't play by the custody rules.
Another father gone crazy. I hate it when an amber alert says Police believe the child is in imminent danger. I would like to know why they think that, and how do I not know that the father went crazy because the mom would not let him see the child, and he got sick of playing games and took the child. No matter what it is I hope he is found safe and I also hope the child gets help because going through this can not be good mentally. May god watch over this child.Â
 @Just my say Or he got mad at Mom for getting a new boyfriend.  Not saying that's what happened, but it's one scenario as to why police would think the child would be in imminent danger.
