Seeing the baby snuggling in the arms of the policeman. Seeing the baby safe and held and warm and found, brought a tear. Not gonna to lie.
Thank everything he was found and safe. >

Especially considering the weather the Midwest is going to be seeing over the next few days. An infant is not going to last long in a 2 degree F car >

I wonder if he'd had a meal or a diaper change since he was taken on Monday night.  That's a long time, hopefully he wasn't just strapped into the seat the entire time.  Poor little guy.  Glad he's at the hospital and his parents are with him. >

He is pictured awake/conscious so he must have been given liquids during the three days. Hopefully he wasn't neglected and the suspect just wanted to play mommy for a while. >

Updates say they believe he was in the car for the two days. His kidnapper was staying in a crackhouse. The women who found her reported on TikTok that she told them she was high on Percocet the morning she was arrested. >

I really needed to hear this tonight >

Found in a Papa John's in Indianapolis 
I really needed to hear this, as well
Cheers to you :-) >

Oh that's great news. No judgment to the mom. If you're doing Door Dash with your kids I know you're desperate and stuck, and doing it for them. She'll never do it again. >

Same people bitching about her leaving kids in the car would be the same people bitching that she’s on welfare and not working. It’s a no-win situation for her.  Hopefully this is a blessing in disguise and helps her land solid employment. She’s obviously a hard worker and dedicated mom. >

Either way, society shits on you. I wish we could collectively agree that help first is the way to go. If you see a kid is wearing dirty clothes - instead of saying how shitty the parents are, how about help the kid and the parents by providing new clothes asking if they need laundry help. Instead of yelling at moms who leave their X years old home alone, provide free childcare somewhere because I doubt she wants to work 9 hours for 6 of those hours to go to childcare much less chose to leave the kid if she didn't have to. We have collectively forgotten what a society is for because everyone is so selfish. >

A lot of us have chosen not to have kids because it is too expensive.  So it is a little frustrating to see people just Leeroy Jenkins their way into parenthood and then expect everyone else to pay for the kids. >

Sometimes people have kids first and then things fall apart.
Other times, for example in Ohio, they literally can't access abortion. >

That's fair.   Religious extremists have messed things up pretty badly. >

I've been checking for updates a few times a day. Was really hoping for a happy ending to this. I am so glad he was recovered safe. >

Look up the TikTok videos from the women who got the lady arrested and later found the baby too. Seems like Indy police really dropped the ball. They practically had to beg the police to arrest her. Called and reported her location (and on going crimes) repeatedly with no response. Finally had to swerve on the highway to get pulled over with her. Then had to wave a phone infront of the police’s face with the Amber Alert on it. At one point the woman asked “what do we need to do to get her arrested. Do I need to bring her to the police station at gun point”. 
Absolutely wild the amount of work it took to get a police response to the abductor in an active Amber Alert. >

Do you have a link to the videos? >

Could you imagine hopping into a running car thinking it was an easy steal and finding out you also snagged two babies?! I can’t believe she seemingly just dropped one off at the airport? Like what the fuck?? Then drove around for 3 days with the other?!?! This is SUCH a strange story. >

There is something strange (to say the least) about a woman who randomly opts to jack a vehicle, act weirdly in gas stations while asking for money, then wind up in another state in a crack den. She is likely mentally ill with deep substance abuse issues. Trying to assign reason to her actions is probably going to be disappointing. >

Wonder if there's a gofundme to help her get appropriate childcare. Poor young woman, just doing the best she can,  I'm sure... >

What a sweet thought! I hope someone that she knows  thinks to do that for her. It has saddened me to see so many people dragging her for what happened. There is a lot of apparently perfect parents out there, judging by the dragging that she's been taking. >

Wow. Christmas Miracle. I was worried she dumped him somewhere and this cold would get him. >

This is such wonderful news.  I know the parents must be relieved. >

Grown ass man tearing up. So happy for the mother and family, really makes the holiday. Kudos to all the police, agents and everyone else who hunted them out. >

Grown ass men are allowed to have emotions and cry. >

AND we’re allowed to cry for reasons we don’t fully understand. This baby story does not make me cry. I’m happy reading this but not moved to tears happy. I cry streams of tears when videos surface of children’s reading their adoption papers to their new parents. I cry a single tear at the end result of those stray dog rehab videos. Content is emotionally charged  differently for different people. For me it’s gratitude because maybe I feel like that’s missing from my own life. Big displays of gratitude rip me open. Normalize men understanding and allowing their emotions to breathe. >

The video where they surprise the dad with special glasses that let him see color for the first time was amazing in this way. Also videos of hearing impaired babies getting hearing aids for the first time. >

Woooo, happy holidays. >

Omfg, thank god, i was really emotionally invested in this outcome! >

I hadn't even heard about this child going missing and my heart still jumped for Joy when I read this headline. >

What is in the safe OP? Don't leave us hanging. >

Presto! It was.......another baby!
