Virginia mother at center of national manhunt arrested in Plainfield; children found safe

Found Safe!!!!!!!!

....in her vehicle..... I hope they weren't sleeping / living in that vehicle. These poor kids, such a nightmare they've lived through. I hope they can all be in the same foster home. Once they feel safe, they will talk. Then the truth will come out. I hope it is resolved quickly, smoothly and they are reunited with family members who will protect them.
