COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- An Amber Alert has been issued by the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Police Department requesting the assistance in locating two missing children.
The two children are:
KREM
Tatiana Exavier Seiber, four-year-old female, born June 6, 2000. Last seen wearing a purple tank top and blue denim cut-offs and is approximately two-foot, six inches tall and weighs 35 pounds with blond short hair and blue eyes.
KREM
Ford Patrick Ware, five-year-old male, born March 4,1999. Last seen wearing a black shirt with a yellow number "9" on it and unknown color shorts. He is approximately four-foot tall and weighs 50 pounds. He has blonde hair cut in a buzz cut above his eyes.
Both children were taken Thursday by a male identifying himself as "Jack" in a gold Lincoln Town car with Louisiana license plate JFP027. The vehicle is reported stolen out of Louisiana by a John Marc Thompson, 56-year-old white male, approximately 60-years-old and weighs 155 pounds. John Thompson is known to use the alias "Jack." Additionally, the vehicle has a Disney license plate in front and a rear left taillight out covered with tape. The Lincoln also has a moon roof.
The children were in the car with the suspect with the parent's permission. The suspect had befriended them while camping and identified himself as a preacher. They were all traveling to the Priest Lake area when the suspect's car did not exit Interstate 90 with the others in Coeur d'Alene and is believed to have continued east bound with the children.
If you see the children, the suspect or the car, please call 9-1-1.
Pornography use to be against the law, when did that change? Now smut is everywhere corrupting everything. It is like a cancer, and our children are paying the price.
I pray they find those babies quickly. I was upset to hear that Montana does not have the means to put up Amber Alerts on their reading signs.
I join in prayer for these children and their safe return.
WHAT!?!?!?!
No it won't be pretty. They will all face judgement. Just think we can hardly stand the small part we see, I can't even begin to imagine what the Lord see's. If our country continues on the same path - it will surely lead to the demise to live as we knew it. It is already happening.

Thompson has an extensive criminal history and is wanted in five states. Coeur d'Alene police are still trying to determine the nature of his previous crimes.
"We don't know specifics," Wood said. "We've had the 911 dispatch center calling those jurisdictions and trying to get mug shots."
The families of the children listed their address as the North Fork River, Wood said. "They were just traveling through."
Police have lost contact with one of the families. Detectives spoke with the other mother Friday, Wood said.
The multi-state Amber Alert was issued to law officers and media outlets across the Northwest. The system is now nationwide and meant to offer swift response to kidnappings. According to information from the U.S. Department of Justice, 74 percent of children who are kidnapped and later found murdered were killed within the first three hours after being taken.
Shoshone County Sheriff Chuck Reynalds said homeless families often camp during the summer on national forest land. The U.S. Forest Service sets a two-week limit to stay on an individual site.
"We have a number of people camping out homeless and between jobs up on the river during summer," Reynalds said. "It's an ongoing problem. It's very hard to track."
Anyone with information on the children should call 911.
We should not have any homeless families in this country..
We should be able to help any family with housing, childcare and a job, it is our duty as People of Holy GOD and Americans IMO..
He is thin that is for sure.
It's impossible to not have homeless families. The main reason a single mom, or a family, wouldn't seek housing assistance is drug abuse. They're afraid they'll lose custody of their kids (especially if they have prior convictions) and opt to live in a car, camp-out or other less than optimal environments, to avoid social service workers.
I like Walsh, he turned a tragic event into a lifetime work. It was sad he lost his son Adam though.
WE grandparents must spend time praying for younger ones, or the devil will destroy whom he can. It is a different world than we grew up in, and teaching them the pitfalls, without creating unnecessary fear, is an important job.
The stupidity of people continues to amaze me. When the police find the children, they ought to beat the crap out of their parents.

I totally agree! Prayer is the only hope for our grandchildren. We live in a world full of the evil one, and it is now fashionable to openly follow him and rebell against the one and only true Lord.
OMG he looks like a major PEDOPHILE!!!! how could they let there kids go with him????
How come I don't hear about this story on the Fox or CNN web-sites?
Did those parents need glasses, this man's persona shouts "beware".
But my concern at this point is those children, if they are still alive. They are so very young!
