I live here in SW Florida and I am very aware of all of Mindy McCready's issues. I only wish they would get a picture of Xander up so we can get a good look at him. The article doesn't even give his age. :banghead:
 
I did some searching and got Xander's birthdate as March 25th, 2006. That would make him 5-years-old. Poor little guy. Hope Mindy turns herself in and brings him home safe. No telling what kind of people she has him around.

What I want to know is why, if Mindy only had supervised visits with Xander, how she was able to take him so easily?

Yes, she is an extremely troubled woman with severe addiction issues.

Yes, this definitely isn't her first rodeo when it comes to trouble.

I hope that if/when they are found, she is not able to do this again. A little jail time/detox might help. Let's hope, in her delusion, she doesn't harm this child.
 
Happy Birthday, Mindy. Do the right thing & bring your son home!

It is extremely frightening to know she has attempted suicide numerous times. Even once when she was pregnant with Xander.

She has even physically assaulted her own mother.

Prayers out in full force for Xander.
 
Melinda Gayle McCready is her name. Her son, Zander, born Mar-2006

I wish I could get a moderator to change the title. One of the sites I was looking at spells his name Zander Ryan McCready. The article I linked simply states his name as Xander. No age or description. He's 5-years-old and is missing from Cape Coral, Florida.
 
Well, they aren't too worried...they are giving her until Thursday at 5 pm to return him. I'm sorry, but if a woman with a history of suicide attempts and drug abuse had MY child, I would not be giving her a time frame to return him, especially since there has been an ongoing custody battle over little Xander for most of his life. ANYTHING could happen. I don't understand that at all. Maybe the family has some idea where she is and they are going to try to talk to her or something? I don't know...I would be going after my baby...no WAY would some suicidal drug addict who is likely angry about a custody battle have MY baby...

ETA: When I was still married, our child died and my husband had a mental breakdown. He was NOT WELL. I came home from work one day and he had taken both children from day care and was GONE. So...this is emotional for me. There was NOTHING, legally, that I could do. We were legally married and he had every right to take the children wherever he wanted, with or without my permission. The fact that he was recovering from a mental breakdown and the kids were in daycare because he wasn't able to care for them? Well...not enough. SO...I am NOT understanding the time frame thing. THEY DO HAVE RIGHTS. THEY CAN get Zander back. So get him back. (IT all turned out...although his parents actually HID my kids and him in different counties for six months...it was a nightmare)
 
It is honestly crazy to me how she turned out. I remember loving her debut cd and thinking she was gorgeous. I actually fantasized about being her. I was 10-12 at the time. Anyway, since then so much drugs, pain, and violence. I am praying that she is ok and that her son is ok. I am hoping they find her and get her back in some sort of rehab or institution that finally gets her clean.
 
I agree, Darcyline!

first Album in 1996

Weird, but a friend of mine's father wrote her break out song, Guys Do It All The Time. I met her at a party in Chicago, and she was so sweet & cute. I don't remember her drinking but she did sing. Wow, such a long time ago. I did not even realize she was on Celebrity Rehab . . .
 
I think she is from Ft. Myers not too far away. Hopefully that's where she goes and they turn up soon.

It's her birthday? Good grief that could be very troubling. Hope she's not celebrating the wrong way.

ETA yep her birthday is tomorrow (born November 30, 1975)

I was going to say the same thing. They have given her until 5 pm Thursday to bring her son back. With her history I am afraid of what she may do. She tried to kill herself when she was pregnant. I would imagine her thinking, if she was thinking, is that she wanted to go with her baby. I hope she isn't thinking that way now.

Thanks for the pic . . . the FB page is actually a bit disturbing, though.

I thought it was set up to FIND her & Zander, but apparently it is to help her get him returned to her.

Do we know WHO has legal custody of him?
Click to expand...

The OP article says the boy was with relatives. Both mom and dad are in a bitter custody dispute and neither have custody. Dad just recently was granted overnight stays and mom is not complying with drug testing so she gets supervised visits.

So sad for the little boy.
 
Who is "they"? (they have given her a deadline)

It doesn't sound like a good idea to threaten her. Vinegar vs. sugar, you know. It seems better for someone she loves (or loves her) to appeal to her, lovingly. Or an LE who is trained in the gentle approach. JMO.

This is really sad...for everyone. And I hope there is a good outcome. :heart:
 
If I am reading the article correctly, Cazzie, DCF held an emergency hearing today and the judge gave her until 5pm this afternoon to surrender.

I hope and pray they are OK. Nothing is so bad that it cant be fixed, Mindy.
