The page is blank - no more posts to show. I'd sure like to know what's really going on. Grrrr..

This article still quotes WINK but says that he was taken several days ago... I really hope they are okay. That's a long time for no communication (if there hasn't been any).

McCready’s parents told local news station WINK that the troubled singer took the boy from their Cape Coral, Fla., home several days ago and has not returned. Her parents have custody of Zander after a years-long court battle between McCready and her mother Terri.

ETA: I do see that her parents have been in contact with her (from the same link):

Police do not consider the case an abduction at this point. The spokesman said McCready’s parents have been in contact with her.

According to Access Hollywood, she sent an Email to them this morning and said they are not missing:

Naw, she's just getting some "help" to get Z out of the Country (IMHO)

She's been trying to get away from her mother for many, many years & maybe with her "therapy" through Celebrity Rehab, she feels she has the "tools" to get Z returned to her.

No idea . . . just want this to not be a nightmare

She did kidnap him and he is missing. I mean if her mom has custody and she is refusing to return him...Mindy, work through the court systems.

I wonder if bio dad gave Zander to her? it isnt as if he didnt know she didnt have custody.

I think there may be more to the story- perhaps Mindy's mother and father aren't on the same page concerning Zander? Consider the following snip -
NBC2's Stacey Deffenbaugh has learned that a case worker from the Children's Network made an unannounced visit to the Cape Coral home of Mindy's father on Tuesday.
The boy, named Zander, was supposed to be there - but sources say he wasn't.

Mindy's father eventually told the case worker that Mindy had been there earlier in the day and took off with Zander.

The case worker filed a missing persons report and notified the Department of Children and Families.

This case has a long legal history and a lot of family strife. There have been dozens of court hearings about the custody of the boy.

Mindy's mother has legal custody of Zander and is raising him, with the help of her husband

It kinda seems Mindy's mother and father might be separated and perhaps her father is more easily manipulated than mother?:waitasec:

Happy Birthday, Mindy ! Give yourself a big present & come home with Z

Mindy McCready, son reported missing in Florida
By TAMARA LUSH, AP
24 minutes ago

TAMPA, Fla. — Florida authorities say country singer Mindy McCready is missing with her 5-year-old son, and a judge has given her until Thursday to return the boy.

The state Department of Children and Families says a missing persons report was filed with Cape Coral police Tuesday night after McCready took her son Zander from her father's home...

I am going to assume he turned Xander over to Mindy. Oh Boy.

SBM.

This article is about as clear as mud...or maybe the family dynamics are confusing to me...

Zander was sick before Thanksgiving, the step-grandmother called him in sick again to school Tuesday (yesterday?), and now she won't talk to LE but told them to talk to her lawyer? A case-worker went to his father's home and he didn't want to tell them where Zander was?

Who was the last person to see Zander, and when/where?

Who was the last person to see Mindy, and when/where?

I'm hoping there wasn't foul play against both of them...

"I did not steal my child, as it would be impossible for me to kidnap what already belongs to me!," she reportedly said via email.
"There never was any missing persons report and never an Amber Alert."

McCready reportedly took Zander from her father's house Tuesday night.
McCready's mother reportedly has custody, with Mindy allowed visitation at her dad's house.

Cape Coral Police Lt. Tony Sizemore told the Associated Press that so far, there's "no criminal act."

The singer's brother, Josh McCready, told The Associated Press in a private Facebook message that his sister was "fine."

"Mindy is fine and so is Zander. There is nothing to worry about," he wrote.

Poor child caught up in the middle of a family fued it seems!!:banghead:

I wasn't too concerned until I saw this... it just put in perspective the frame of mind Mindy is in.

I can't imagine referring to my children as "belonging to" me.

"It would be impossible for me to kidnap my own child" makes sense.

However if "belongs to me" is being used then it seems like it should be property..
"It would be impossible for me to steal the car/TV/radio that already belongs to me."

I just got a little sick when I saw that... :waitasec:

Daily Mail's finally caught up to the story:

Troubled country music star Mindy McCready goes missing with her five-year-old son after custody battle

plenty of pictures including a booking photo of the ex-boyfriend/dad, plus a warts-and-blemishes account of the circumstances, at link

That poor child doesn't have a chance.

I hate to nit pick here, but it sure seems to indicate that she sees her son as a thing-an object to be fought over.

I'm praying this little boy is returned safe and sound-but Mindy has just taken (apparently with a little familial help) a HUGE step back in any attempt to regain custody of her son!!:twocents:

Sometimes desperation makes you do things that are not normal.

It's not right, but I can see how it happens.

I would go toe to toe with Satan himself if he tried to keep me away from my DD.
