    Oh please, Stone. If you can’t say something positive, encouraging, uplifting, just shut to hell up. I can assure you that the entire nation, except you and the perpetrators are united in grief over this missing child. Time to surface for some fresh air, Stone!

    Only a wicked person will hear a cry like this and let it slide. To whoever have this cute little baby girl, she’s innocent. She has nothing to offer to you. Please return her. God is not done making her a wonderful person. Please! Let your heart succumb to the nations cry!

    I cried watching this video, I’m not a mother but I can only understand her feelings through this video! Mommy I’m sorry, Chantel we hear your cry! We are coming! Baby girl I hope you’re safe. To whoever that’s holding this child. Put yourself in the shoes of this young ladies family! What will you feel? Understand their cry. She has nothing to offer. If it’s some problem with the family, please undestand that this child is not apart of this

    The police should be out en mass trying to locate this precious child instead of terrorizing our elderly citizens. Prayers for her safe return and strength for her parents.

    They too calm….something’s off! If my child had been abducted, I would have lost my mind!! I would have been bawling my eyeballs out and slinging snot everywhere not talking during this interview as though it were a normal everyday discussion and not about my missing child. I’m not comfortable with the way mom responded.
