I think they will be found soon. Because traveling with 2 babies and their pic is all over the news. However, it they're on meth...well, those kids need to be found. I've seen what meth can do to people. Ruined my sister in laws life. Now she's lost her kids, husband and sanity. Sitting in prison.

We are having problems with the meth heads over here in Western NC, too. Lots of burglaries to pay for their habits.

These are the people that were running a meth lab and got busted. The kids were taken by Social Services.

http://www.news-record.com/news/now/fugparents_011805.htm

BOONE (AP) — Two young children and the father who allegedly kidnapped them at gunpoint from their foster home over the weekend remained at large after shaking police in the mountains along the Tennessee border, authorities said.

An Amber Alert was issued Saturday in western North Carolina and east Tennessee after the abduction of Breanna Genevieve Chambers, 11, and her brother, James Paul Chambers, 2.

Authorities say their father, James Lee Canter, 28, brandished a gun when he and his girlfriend, Alisha Chambers, 18, took the children from a foster home in the Valle Crucis area.

On March 6, authorities raided the couple's home in a remote northern corner of Watauga County and discovered a methamphetamine lab.

Chambers, who was there, was charged with manufacturing meth and maintaining a dwelling for the manufacture of meth; deputies took out warrants for the same crimes against Canter, who wasn't home.

What I'm curious to know is, how did they know where the children were? If kids are taken away and put in foster care for good cause, the birth parents should not know WHO has them, and when they are allowed to see the kids, should only do so at a neutral site to protect the foster family from this kind of event.

The news article forgot a word in their story...the baby is 11 months, not 11 years.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that the whereabouts of these children are not unknown to You ... make their location known to those who seek their safety. Protect them unto the time when they are returned to proper care ... give wisdom to those who are searching ... may they be successful ... spare them, I pray, from violence. In the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

The Mom looks like a poster girl for Meth Heads. Prayers for those poor children. Meth does nasty things to people's brains and their emotional state.

Amen to your prayers. I've contacted my women's prayer chain about this.
