Thank you for posting this.

People around the world will see these little faces. I pray their families will be notified!

Thanks again.

Those poor kids. That's the thousand-yard stare in those eyes. What they must have gone through!

The girl looks *very* scandanavian. I will send the link to my friend in Finland and see what he thinks...

The little boy's mother was killed, but his father and grandmother survived. His uncle recognized his photo on the web and flew out to retrieve him, later reuniting him with his father and grandmother who were in the hospital.

Damn, that's utterly heartbreaking.

All legal craziness and bureaucratic hand-wringing aside, my wife and I would be happy to adopt both these kids, RIGHT NOW.

Hello,

I feel the same, I have felt such a strong urge to contact the appropriate people and offer to do just that. I have heard that there will be as long as a year to begin getting these children adopted; such pain those kids will go through in that amount of time.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Thanks for the info. I will e-mail the person who sent me this info and have him check it out. _ tom

I don't have the details, but it's been on all the newshows. The boy was shown with his grandfather, etc, he's home.

We stayed a few years ago at Kata. Little kids with those corn rows were heard shouting "a la plage, a la plage" one morning while we had breakfast at our hotel. When we heard the news on the 27th, we were haunted by that memory.

I hope of course the family gets hooked up with the girl.

I was on a shark discussion list (328 people) and one of the Europeans posted this plea to find the identity of the 2 kids. He apologized for it being off topic. (sharks)

I figured FR has about 150,000 members and it would be seen by many more people here. - Tom
