It took me a long time to go through all the posts and didn't want to chime in until I read what had already been discussed. Lots of hard work out there, as usual from WS! Thanks to you all.
I have a different opinion on Mr. Coe's video but that could be that I watched it AFTER knowing that Shaniya was spotted with Mr. McNeill. My impression of Coe is that he very much didn't want to be in the predicament that is has found himself, but I didn't get the impression that he was hostile or disrespectful. Hopefullly he has a heart for children and will cooperate.
I did not hear in the press release video about Mr. McNeill that there were two females with him. I felt more hopeful of Shaniya's release knowing that two females were also with her. Where did that information originate? I hope it's true. It's known that in prison, people convicted of crimes against children are the lowest of the low. That being said, I hope it remains true in this case and that criminals not incarcerated have those same values. My own schizophrenic son has had issues with gangs and has been incarcerated but he has not and I don't believe he would ever harm a child, for an example.
So I am as hopeful as many of you are that Shaniya is safe and that she will be returned unharmed.
