Authorities said they are looking for 2-year-old J’asiah Deon Mitchell, who was kidnapped Wednesday around 11:23 p.m. in the 3300 block of Flat Shoals Road. The child’s family told police he was taken during an armed robbery.

I don't like the thoughts I'm having about this.

same.

my current uppermost questions are when was he reported missing? If this occurred last night why are we only this morning hearing about the abduction? how is there no description of the armed robber?

Gonna try to sit on my hands and hope against hope I am mistaken about the smell.

All of this -- also when was he last seen by anyone other than the family he resides with.

Unless it's a non-custodial parent kidnapping, I'm not buying the story.
MOO

suggests even the journalists covering this story aren't buying it either.

Hoping that little J'saih is safe, but not feeling so confident.

I am waiting for the description of said "armed robbers".
I will spit Nickles if they are described as a white man with orange hair who drives a semi. Just sayin

 

[tlcya]

@shotgun09 This is no laughing matter but that almost made me spit my coffee.

 

[Allabouttrial]

Hmmm where's the Amber Alert?!

 

[tlcya]

Hmmm where's the Amber Alert?!

maybe black sedan of unknown make and model and no license plate number and zero physical description of driver, not even their sex is making it difficult to issue one. Just a guess.

Yeah mum has him as J'Asiah as well.

 

[ClaireNC]

Ohhh this certainly stinks in all kind of ways…. Where are you little one?

Maybe. Just looked up the criteria for Georgia:

Activation Criteria​

Before Levi's Call can be activated, the following Alert Criteria must be met:

• Law enforcement officials have a reasonable belief that an abduction has occurred.
• Law enforcement officials believe that the child is in imminent danger or serious bodily injury or death.
• Enough descriptive information exists about the victim and the abductor for law enforcement to issue a Levi's Call: Georgia's AMBER Alert.
• The victim of the abduction is a child age 17 years or younger.
• The child's name and other critical data elements - including the child abduction (CA) and AMBER Alert (AA) flags - have been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system.

Levi's Call

On October 22, 1997, after a day of playing with his friends, 11-year old Levi Frady headed toward his rural Forsyth County home. It was getting dark, but his house was less than a mile away, and he and his trusty bike had made the trip dozens of times.
