I'm sorry the pics came out so large, I did the same thing as usual. So if they are fixed I'll be grateful.

Prayers for the safe return of the little one.

You're right, he is a cutey! I have a child the same age and they are such a joy to watch as they explore and learn things, begin to talk and communicate in new ways. I don't know if I can ever understand why/how someone could steal away a child from their mother. The only explanation is evil.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that this little one is not out of Your sight. Cover him with Your protection, I pray, and keep him safe that he might be returned to his family. Quickly make known his whereabouts, and may those responsible for his disappearance be faint of heart and incapable of harm. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

Is there any relationship between the child and the abductor?

Fox just reported that this sweet child has been found safely at an Orlando hotel room. The Amber alert has been cancelled. Reason given was a "dispute over money".

Praise God!!

Glad to hear the child is safe.

How about putting the state in the headline in future amber alerts. It makes it easier to determine the ones to pay closer attention to.

Excellent question.

The more these Amber Alerts are used for 'abductions' by noncustodial parents, the more the public will be justified in ignoring them.

Well, as we saw in Fresno, these kids may very well be in danger if the are with a parent...
