      I pray that the rath and fire of God come down on those who had kidnapped that little girl and already involved in kidnapping and those who are planning on doing so. I pray they will become confused uncomfortable and unrested the point they feel as if they are losing their mind until they confess to all the criminal activity that they are carrying out in this country. And for those persons who had missing in years prior that those individuals will also come to the forefront walk in saint John city with their hands-on their head crying out confessing where the bodies are for those missing persons if they are already dead

    So why did she took up the child in the first place? Is she a relative of the child or the parent? Did the child told them she wanted KFC? So if she dropped the child home, where is the child now? Torcher her cut off her fingers and toes until she speak. If she still refuse to speak, pull out her teeth 1 / 1, starting from the front to the back.
