Ugh, my heart sank reading this one. Hope they get these kids quick!

 

[Buddha_with_mace]

Oh boy, this is really scary, I think it's highly possible these children have had a tough, maybe even horrendous life so far, they need to be found STAT! The parents obviously don't have custody, or else they wouldn't be possible suspects.

 

[Cubby]

Ugh, why is this case getting no attention here at WS? These kids need to be found immediately.

I was thinking the exact same thing, this case needs WSers all over it.

 

[Mauig’ma]

Where’s the award? People need the incentive to find these two precious ones. Not getting a lot of exposure, why? This story is horrendous. They need to be found asap!

 

[Buddha_with_mace]

Any more news? I can't believe no-one is taking notice of this horrible situation.

Search for fleeing Belmont County family extending beyond border

The search for a Belmont County man facing child charges is ongoing. Now, international authorities are involved.

Police are also investigating Tabitha as a possible suspect.

"Not only in this case, but also as a person who's obstructing our ability to locate the children at this time,” Cruse said.

Cruse said a warrant for Tabitha is under review by the prosecutor's office.

In the meantime, the U.S. Marshals, FBI and law enforcement from Connecticut to Canada are searching for the family.

It’s beyond me why this post is not just as active as the other horrifying threads here on WS! I’m so worried for these little cuties. People are vile and I hope they get the agony they’ve caused others threefold.

 

[Stunned]

It seems any time a so called parent is involved, it gets a HUGE pass. These children have more than likely sexually abused for profit. Make noice! Make a lot of noice! Let’s find them before they go on to worst films and pictures.
I will never forget a magazine that was found at my daughters preschool, Costello Hammock in Homestead Fla. it was a totally natural outside preschool. The director showed me a magazine he had found on the grounds. I was never in my life so horrified by the pictures in the magazine.
Although none of the pictures showed young children at my daughters preschool there...I pulled her out. Cause someone visiting that wonderful school and park had been there.

 

[liltexans]

This guy has friends and family across the country? Yuck. I hope those friends and family read the news and call 911 if he shows up or if he contacts them.

This is so true! If they are with so called 'parents', no-one seems to take it seriously, but honestly they may as well have been kidnapped by the devil! That's a horrific story about your daughter's preschool, I bed it made your blood turn cold finding that magazine!

You would hope so, but then how many times do we see people who protect others, even when they've done the most evil things you can imagine.

 

[Buddha_with_mace]

I am just going to keep bumping this up, I refuse to let it get buried!

I know. It’s just disgusting.

28 years later the pictures are still in my mind. One little boy around 2 in particular.

I can't even imagine how much that would haunt you. I have this fear that these kids will be handed over to someone somewhere, that they go underground into a world I don't even want to think about. I hope they are found soon, every hours that passes means another hour with the potential of them being abused.

 

[Mauig’ma]

This story makes me sick. Finding these lil ones should be top priority above anything else. We know what this sicko is capable of. These two kids are in extreme danger. I pray they’re found soon.

 

[Mauig’ma]

If the dad was being investigated for child , why were the kids still with him? Child services should have removed them asap.
