We used to live in this neighborhood ... this is very troubling.

My driveway is 3/4 mile long, this is my biggest fear.

May God sustain and uphold his family while they wait.

[Long Island Pete]

I pray he is found safely. I also hope the cops have some dogs with them who are hungry and this piece of slime resists.

[mom4kittys]

This is very scary. Prayers for this child.

[OldFriend]

How brazen to grab a child on the bus stop where other children are present. Prayers for this boy to be found quickly and unharmed.

[JellyJam]

Hallelujah! They found him alive!

NORTH MANATEE – Manatee police have found 13-year-old Clay Moore safe after he was missing for nearly five hours after being abducted at gunpoint at a school bus stop.

Moore was reportedly found in a farm field in far East Manatee off of State Road 64, with only minor scratches.

He was about to be reuinted with his parents soon.

Holy Father,

In the Name of Jesus Christ, we come against this work of the devil and all works of those intent upon harming children. Father, cause this man to turn around toward You and to release this innocent child. Open the eyes of all those around him so they can find this perpetrator and bring him to justice. Be with Clay, Lord, and show him a way of escape. May Your heavenly angels surround him and may not one hair on his head be harmed. Hear us, O Lord, for the forces of evil never rest. In the Name of Jesus, we acknowledge that You are greater than all. Amen.

This brings back memories of the kidnapping of another boy about the same age in Cape Coral, FL in the early 1970s. The pedophile lived nearby. He abducted the boy, by force, at the school bus stop. He brought him a short distance away, into the woods, tortured him, and killed him. I wonder if that pedophile has recently been released.

I pray they find Clay, safe and sound. But I have my doubts.

[mom4kittys]

That is good news.

[BykrBayb]

That's miraculous news!

[tioga]

Praise God!!!!!! Clay is home and safe.

[Palladin]

Thank you, Lord! I had been praying that this boy would have the assertiveness to escape from his captor. Now that has happened.

For once, it has ended well.
