Seem a little low to me, but that's jmo
Sweet looking kiddos - hope they're found safe and VERY soon x

 

[Lyanna]

Are Kai and Kase twins?

FOUR all at once, missing? Baki Dewees was a little infant who went missing from Palmdale, too, a few months ago! What is happening?

 

[sasha17]

Are Kai and Kase twins?

I would guess so based on ages, although Kai and Koen look identical! I thought at first it was the same photo used for both of those two boys. I hope they're all found safe soon.

"The Palmdale Sheriff's Station said this is a custody issue where the boys were taken by a relative, but they're not sure which family member. Currently, the case is not considered a kidnapping but that could change."

Do these weights seem correct?

The weights are in the normal range (some are on the thinner side) but the heights are extremely short for the ages. They're also such perfectly round numbers that it makes me think someone gave their best estimate and it's just not very accurate.

I never understand these child custody cases where a parent takes the kids. What's their endgame?

The weight & height seem off on all 4 of them. 2’ 0” = 24” or about the height of a 6 mo old baby. Koen & Kai age 5 & 4 look about the same size and they look alike! Sounds like whoever gave their statistics was taking liberties. Maybe just a guess.

So they have been missing almost 3 weeks and their parents/guardians just sounded the alarm? Not sure who has them or where they are? I hope these beautiful boys are found alive & well very soon.

They look kind of sad, thin and it's possibly odd that none have shirts on. Hope they are ok and are located soon.

They appear to be estimates. A 4-year-old should be 3 feet tall, not 2 feet tall, among other things.

They all look sad in their photos. Seems odd the family doesn't have photos of them looking happier to share...also, wearing clothing.

It also disturbs me that (according to the descriptions on the missing poster) they were all last seen wearing either a white diaper or white underwear. This would maybe seem less disturbing if they’d last been seen in the early morning hours or late in the evening… but not one of these children was wearing anything more than a diaper or underwear at 2 o’clock in the afternoon? Not even the 5 year old? My heart hurts for these little guys.

p.s. The Down Syndrome Association probably wouldn't like that poster. "MP has Down Syndrome" would be more appropriate for them.

How can three weeks pass and they “know” the boys were taken by a relative but they don’t know who? And zero information on who might have reported them missing or who they’re supposed to be with.

They look kind of sad, thin and it's possibly odd that none have shirts on. Hope they are ok and are located soon.

The general oddness of the photos makes me wonder if they are screengrabs from a video. Possibly the most recent recording taken of them was running around without clothes because of the heat, and stills were taken from that video because they could be obtained quickly. I think we often see not-ideal photos shared because they can be shared quickly, and for some reason they’re just never updated to something better once they’re out in the media.

My 4 year old daughter is only 30 lbs, but she’s very petite and has been her whole life
