After watching all the news and hullabaloo about recent abductions, that is definitely great news. Her family must be elated.

Next question is: Should they cut the fs@#kers nuts off and let him bleed to death or: say he is just out of touch with reality? Put him in a institution for cleansing and so be it....... U just know..that some fanatical group is gonna stand up and say..."He wasnt of his right mind", you cant punish him for that! I'm thinkin the guy hasnt got a snowballs chance in hell in livin. Been my child...oh lord....send me to satan NOW!

CNN didn't say much. What did they do with her? They didn't say exactly what was going on. They were lucky though. Most kids or adults abducted for that long of a time usually do not survive.

I was totally amazed. I figured she was dead just a little while after. From what I gathered from the scanty news on the whole event, she's apparently doing fine--didn't sound like she was brutalized or anything. Some good news for once!
GO CARDINALS!

Hey-

Whether the girl was physically/sexually abused or not doesn't really matter. The criminal had to be "out of touch with reality" and "wasnt of his right mind". I wouldn't go easy on him, but anyone who kidnaps a person is sick and crazy.

Please don't quote me on this.

Check this <a href="http://codeamber.org/?cabu1">site</a> to see if you can help find other abducted children.

They are <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ibsys/20030306/lo_wdiv/1520933">currently searching</a> for a young girl from Michigan, taken by a convicted murderer

Heh what gets me is that the kidnapper's mother is trying to twist everything around:

Shirl Mitchell, the suspect's father, says there is no justification for the alleged abduction but that his son's actions should be put in perspective.

"Brian is the one who got that girl back safely ... Now, that's quite an accomplishment," the senior Mitchell told CNN on Saturday.

Okay I'm officially jealous.

FWIW, I'm right outside of Jackson, MS, in a small city called Clinton. You may know it as the home (or former home, however you want to look at it) of WorldCom.
